RCA Victrola is a budget label started by RCA Victor in the mid 1960's as a series that served to reissue many of the great recordings in the RCA Living Stereo catalog as well as important mono recordings. Many early stereo recordings that were only originally issued in mono made their debut in stereo on this label as well. RCA claimed that there was no difference in the quality of the records themselves, and the jackets are all of a kind, a collection in a library style which is very attractive. Of course stamper variations will come into play and as such not every one will equal or beat an original. At the very reasonable price they go for it's always worth a chance for me. Many of these titles I would never find otherwise, and most never received an audiophile reissue.
Today I will highlight a handful of these treasures to keep an eye out for.
