content: <p>Sousa Band. Stars and Stripes Forever (Victor 306, B-241-Take 13).<br>78 rpm. single-faced record.</p>
label: Description
content: <p>This is a special pressing from the original recording. The original recording is listed as destroyed in the Victor ledgers. It was part of a 12-record set in a red album labeled <i>Contemporary Victor Records</i>. The record was intended for use with a Victrola player V-II model. The set was compiled for the Research Library of the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D. C. by RCA Victor, May 27th, 1957.</p>
label: Description
content: <p>The records in this album were selected to demonstrate, in connection with Victrola models V-II, VV-XI and 8-30, the progressive development of recorded music prior to 1926. The three selections in this grouping (Stars and Stripes Forever) were spaced to correspond with instrument developments. They provide an unusual opportunity to hear a given selection -- recorded by the same organization -- on a contemporary instrument -- with extreme factors like selection appeal and radically different instrumentation eliminated.</p>
label: Description
content: <p>"Stars & Stripes Forever" by Sousa provides an exceptional opportunity for comparative test. Over the years this selection was recorded 14 times by Sousa for Victor.</p>
