Picture Disc Records
Boing Boing posted an item about Vogue Picture Records, 78 rpm records with illustrations embedded in the vinyl. The company only lasted a few years in the late 1940s. I have seen similar records for children's songs during that time, but not popular tunes. The image below is a Picture Record of "Sugar Blues" by Clyde McCoy and His Orchestra. I saw a few other well known Swing Era artists on the Vogue Picture Record Collectors page (Shep Fields, Tommy Dorsey, etc.), as well as several performers who were unknown to me.
