Bluebird recorded and reissued jazz and big band music. Its roster included Ted Weems, Rudy Vallée, Joe Haymes, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, Shep Fields, and Earl Hines. During World War II, Victor reissued records by Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, and Bennie Moten. Bluebird's roster for country music included the Monroe Brothers, the Delmore Brothers, Bradley Kincaid. It reissued many titles by Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family.
After World War II, the Bluebird label was retired and its previously released titles were reissued on the standard RCA Victor label. In the 1950s, RCA Victor revived Bluebird for certain budget recordings, jazz releases and reissues, children's records, and the low-priced RCA Victor Bluebird Classics series. The Bluebird name was retired again during the 1960s, and certain recordings issued during the 1950s under the imprint were transferred to the low-priced RCA Camden label. In the mid-1970s, the label was again reactivated by RCA for a series of 2-LP sets of big band, swing and jazz reissues produced by Frank Driggs and Ethel Gabriel. Currently, the Bluebird label is used for CD reissues of certain jazz and pop titles originally issued on the RCA Victor label.

The first Bluebird records appeared in July 1932 along with identically numbered Electradisk records. Test-marketed at selected Woolworth's stores in New York City, these 8-inch discs are so rare today that some issues may no longer exist at all. They may have sold for as little as 10. Bluebird records bore a black-on-medium blue label, Electradisks a blue-on-orange label.[1]
Electradisks in the 2500 block were dance-band sides recorded on two days in June 1932. These rare issues were given Victor matrix numbers, but the four-digit matrix numbers on the 78 look more like discs from Crown Records, an independent label that had its own studios, though its products were pressed by Victor. The few records in that block that have been seen resemble Crowns, leading to speculation that all were recorded at Crown. The 2500 series may also have been for sale only in New York City.
Bluebird records were part of the RCA-Victor Corporation. It was created as a budget label by RCA-Victor in 1932 in order to enter the discount-record market. Original Bluebirds were 8 inches but were dropped by March of 1933 in favor of 10in. records.

Bluebird Recordsdiscography(Emphasis on Blues)#year ofreleasetitle / notesMan at Work !!!(Please do not comment until I'm stumped, i.e. until this piece of advice has disappeared ;-)Since this ain't no museum, my aim is not to depict actually existing specimen of 78 rpm records,but to show the labels as pristine as workmanlike possibleeven if this - in some cases - takes a whole lot of my time to photoshop process the initial data "The [Bluebird] popular series began in August 1932 at serial number 1800. These were 8" records which changed to 10" at 1810 and continued to 1853 by May 1933. The colour of the label was dark blue and black.In May 1933 the numbering system changed to B-5000.In November 1938 it jumped from B-7875 to B-10000.In September 1942 it reached B-11594 and then changed to 30-0801. It reached 30-0834 in March 1945, at which time the Bluebird label ended.From 1946 to 1950 some Bluebird recordings were re-released using the original Bluebird serial number on the RCA Victor label. The notation "Bluebird Series" appeared around the rim of the label.In July 1949 the Bluebird label was revived at 31-0001, and a handful were issued over the next few months."Other series: B-7876 to B-9042 Country, Race, and Rhythm and Blues, Canada and U.S.A.November 1938 to September 1942In November [Race: October] 1942 Bluebird altered its numerical system to four-figure serials prefixed by a two-figure category code.21- Country, (U.S.A.)30- Popular, (U.S.A. and Canada), 30-0801 (November 1942) to 30-0834 (March 1945)31- Popular, (U.S.A.), RCA Victor - Bluebird series, only a handful ever used beginning at 31-0001 (July 1949)33- Country, (U.S.A.), 33-0500 (November 1942) to 33-0539 (December 1945)34- Race, (U.S.A.), 34-0700 (October 1942) to 34-0748 (May 1946)35- Race, (U.S.A.), 35-0001 (July 1949)"[...] Bluebird used a buff label, a staff label, and a dog label in Canada.In the U.S.A. Bluebird had two varieties of dog label which we call "dog 3" (because it had three lines of type around the bottom of the label) and "dog 2" (two lines)."Bray & Litchfield

Bluebird Records ist ein US-amerikanisches Plattenlabel, ein Tochterunternehmen (Sublabel) von RCA Victor. Bluebird wurde 1932 gegründet, um der American Record Corporation (ARC) im Billigsegment (3 records for a dollar) Konkurrenz zu machen. Die ersten Platten erschienen im Juli 1932. Bluebird war vor allem während der 1930er- und Anfang der 1940er-Jahre im Jazz-, Old-Time-/Country- und Blues-Bereich aktiv. Zudem wurden Aufnahmen von RCA neu aufgelegt.

De eerste Bluebird-platen verschenen in juli 1932, samen met de identiek genummerde Electradisk-records. Deze 8-inch schijven werden op de markt gebracht in geselecteerde Woolworth-winkels in New York en zijn tegenwoordig zo zeldzaam dat sommige uitgaven helemaal niet meer bestaan. Bluebird platen droegen een zwart-op-medium blauw label, Electradisks een blauw-op-oranje label.
Electradisks in het 2500-blok waren dansband-kanten die op twee dagen in juni 1932 werden opgenomen. Deze zeldzame nummers kregen Victor-matrixnummers, maar de viercijferige matrixnummers op de 78 lijken meer op schijven van Crown Records, een onafhankelijk label met eigen studio's, hoewel de producten werden geperst door Victor. De weinige records in dat blok die zijn gezien, lijken op Crowns, wat leidt tot speculatie dat ze allemaal bij Crown zijn opgenomen. De 2500-serie was mogelijk ook alleen in New York te koop.
Increased mortalities of adult Eastern Bluebirds, Sialia sialis, breeding in artificial nesting boxes were recorded in New York State, US. A total of 46 dead bluebirds were reported from 23 sites between early April and mid-August 2017. The maximum distance between sites was over 600 km. A total of 27 carcasses were available for postmortem examination. The most common cause of death was necrotizing enteritis, found in 56% (9/16) of birds that could be examined histopathologically. Lesions consisted of foci of hypereosinophilic debris and inflammation rich in Gram-negative bacteria. Aerobic and anaerobic culture of intestines from 4/8 birds with necrotizing enteritis yielded no growth. Plagiorhynchus cylindraceus acanthocephalids were often (6/9, 67%) but not invariably present in affected birds. Occasional incidental lesions included foreign-body microgranulomas in the wall of the ventriculus and intravascular nematodiasis at the base of the heart. The cause of sporadic outbreaks of necrotizing enteritis in breeding bluebirds remains undetermined and warrants further investigation.
Unusually high numbers of dead Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) were reported to the Cornell Wildlife Health Laboratory (CWHL) and the Wildlife Health Unit of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (WHU-NYSDEC) in the spring and summer of 2017. Eastern Bluebirds are members of the Turdidae family of passerines, cavity nesters that inhabit grasslands and feed on insects, fruit, and berries while foraging on the ground. Males attract females to a nest and share parental care of the hatchlings. The species ranges from Eastern Canada through the eastern half of the US, with populations also scattered in Mexico and Central America. Populations in the northernmost edge of their distribution, including part of New York State, are migratory while most others are year-round residents (Zeleny 1976). Although currently categorized as a species of Least Concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (2018), all bluebird species were considered in decline in the 1970s, partly from habitat loss and partly from competition with introduced species (Zeleny 1976). 2ff7e9595c
