AFRS-V-Discs

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.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

The V Discs may have aired on AFRS, but were mainly played on hand cranked Victrolas. The music is pretty much timeless, but you've got to remember, they are old 78s with all the hiss, scratches and so on. They are a wonderful history lesson.

Do you have all the 905 V-Discs that were released in all of your sets or just a few? I'm trying to amass a complete collection.

I don't have them all yet, but I'm working on it.
