RCA RED SEAL
RECORDS
Red Sea Records was a survivor
from the 78rpm era. Red Seal first saw the light of day in 1902, as the
flagship label of Victor records; its task was to provide lovers of Classical
music with the best performances by the best artists of the time, and it
succeeded handsomely. As part of Victor, Red Seal moved whenever that
company did, being sold by its founder, Eldridge R. Johnson, to bankers Seligman
& Speyer in 1926, and then being sold on again three years later to the
Radio Corporation of America. In more modern times, Red Seal continued as
RCA's Classical label. It concentrated almost entirely on Albums, but
occasionally a piece of music proved so popular that it was released as a
single: the James Galway record pictured actually got to No.3 in the
British Charts, in 1978. The first few Red Seal singles shared the main
RCA-2000 catalogue numbers, but in 1978 they were given their own their own RB
prefix; the number part was shared with RCA's Pop singles, as were the company
sleeves. Thanks to Robert Lyons For The Info.
