Description (Brief)
78 rpm.
Hit of the Week Records was an American record label introduced in 1930. The company manufactured and sold low-priced records made of Durium, a flexible synthetic resin coated on a brown paper base, rather than typical records made of shellac.
A new Hit of The Week record was released usually every Thursday every week and was sold in newsstands across the country. The single-faced records originally sold for 15 cents each and had reached 20 cents by the end of the production in 1932.
Popular musicians of the day who recorded for Hit of the Week include Duke Ellington and his Orchestra (under the pseudonym Harlem Hot Chocolates), Rudy Vallée, Eddie Cantor, Ralph Kirbery, Helen Rowland, Vincent Lopez, Joe Venuti, Sam Lanin, and Phil Spitalny.
