Vogue Records was a division of Sav-Way Industries which was founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1946. These novelty records featured artwork on both sides of an aluminum core then laminated with clear vinyl. The record grooves were stamped into the vinyl. Vogue issued about 75 double-sided 78 rpms records, before going out of business a year later. Some of the releases were originally issued by other record companies.
