Vogue Records has been the name of more than one record company.
A typical release from Vogue in the U.S.
was a short lived
United States based
record label of the
1940s, noted for the artwork pressed into the
shellac just below the transparent layer of the playing surface.
The USA Vogue label was in business in 1946 and went out of business the following year, having released 67 double-sided 78 rpm gramophone records. Some of the Vogue issues were re-releases of recordings originally issued by other companies.
The colorful artwork on the records have long made Vogue Records a collector's item.
A different Vogue Records went into business in France in 1947, the same year that the USA Vogue closed shop. They originally specialized in jazz recordings, featuring such artists as Sidney Bechet, Django Reinhardt, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, and Errol Garner. In the late 1950s Vogue expanded into pop music, recording Petula Clark and other popular singers of the era.
The label's United Kingdom sister label was Pye Nixa Records.
As of 2003, a third Vogue Records is based in Ottawa, Canada.
