Beginnings and history

RCA Victor Custom Record Division

Besides manufacturing its own records, RCA's Custom Record Division was the leading record manufacturer for independent labels. RCA Victor's immense Midwestern manufacturing complex in Indianapolis, included a record pressing plant located at 501 North LaSalle Street. The Custom Division notably pressed many record compilations for The Reader's Digest Association.

EMI

RCA sold its interest in EMI in 1938, but EMI (acquired by Universal Music Group) continued to distribute RCA Victor recordings in the UK and its territories on the His Master's Voice label until 1957.

In the spring of 1946, "RCA Victor" replaced "Victor" on its record labels. In 1949, RCA Victor introduced the 7-inch 45 rpm micro-grooved vinylite record, marketed simply as the "45".
