Vogue picture records were produced by Sav-Way Industries of Detroit, Michigan between 1946 and 1947. The first 10-inch Vogue picture record (catalog number R707) was released to the public in May 1946. Production ceased less than a year later in April 1947, with Sav-Way entering into receivership in August 1947. During this time, approximately seventy-four different 10-inch Vogue picture records were released.
The Vogue Picture Disc Collection consists of phonograph records on the "Vogue" label which have a picture (an artist's
illustration) embedded in the transparent vinyl of the record. The illustrations on
each side of the record are usually related to the title of the song on that side.
The most common Vogue picture records are 10-inch, 78 RPM records, although a few
12-inch, 78 RPM Vogue picture records were also produced.
