Long ago and far away, they made recordings on vinyl records.
I've seen a lot of them, in my lifetime, all sizes, speeds, and colors, but I've never seen any like these.

VOGUE PICTURE RECORDS ARE PHONOGRAPH RECORDS on the “Vogue” label which have a picture (an artist’s illustration) embedded in the transparent vinyl of the record. ~snip~ The most common Vogue picture records are 10-inch, 78 RPM records, although a few 12-inch, 78 RPM Vogue picture records were also produced.

Between May of '46 and April of '47, they released 74 different records.

Vogue picture records were of a very high quality, with little surface noise. The records were produced using a complicated process whereby a central core aluminum disc was sandwiched between the paper illustrations and vinyl.

When Sav-Way entered into receivership all remaining stock was liquidated through distributors. ~snip~ It is reported that many of the left-over records were melted down to recycle the aluminum used in the core of the record.

With all the war materials being scrapped at the time, they couldn't have gotten much money for that aluminum.
They probably burned the vinyl off, letting the smoke/fumes go up the stack.
