  • Studebaker Male Chorus record?

    I guess I don't have to explain to THIS crowd what a record is... I have this old 78 record in my collection of "stuff" and wonder if anybody has any history or information about it. Side 2 is entitled "Rolling Along for One Hundred Years" so I'm guessing it's from the mid '50s, probably to celebrate Studebaker's 100th anniversary. I have never played it. Are the singers Studebaker employees? Maybe some day I'll drag my turntable out and listen to it. It appears to be in pretty decent shape, no big scratches or cracks.Click image for larger version

    Interesting, as I also have that record, which I bought at the South Bend swap a couple years ago. I don't know anything about it though.

      Yes, it is the Studebaker Male Chorus. It was part of a two record set issued during the Centennial Year 1952-53 as shown below. Ramond Massey did the voice over history. This set was recorded on cassette some years ago and I recall it being advertised in TW. I have three of the original record sets in the original jacket.

        Don't forget to change the needle to the bigger 78 style.
