Label of Conqueror Record
The record sleeves state that the proper playing speed for Conqueror Records is 80 rpm.
Conqueror was originally owned by the Plaza Music Company, then became part of the American Record Corporation family of labels. Most of the issues are of standard dance tunes and popular songs of the era, although there are jazz recordings by Louis Armstrong and Glenn Miller.
The audio fidelity of Conquerors is average for the era, pressed into somewhat below average shellac.
