Victor 10-Inch Double-Sided Electrical Records
1925-1958

This page covers the 22000, 23000 and 24000 series (actually a continuation of the 16000s) with issue dates ranging from 1929 to 1934; earlier issues can be found on other pages. However, coverage on this website generally ends around 1930. The 23000 series was actually a separate numbering block for Hot Music (23000s) and Country (23500s). The 16000 series, founded in 1908, finally reached 27975 in 1942 before it was retired.
