AFRS-V-Discs

About this film

These V-Discs all came as a set and are in great shape, I've included one acetate from WOR that was right in the middle of the stack. The Army was the original source of the V-Disc records, with their first being issued in October of 1943. The Army’s V-Disc project provided a monthly 'care' package of music specially recorded for troops overseas. Soldiers fighting a far-flung war welcomed these musical snapshots of life back home.
