RCA Victor Custom Record Division

Profile:

RCA Custom Record Division was a mastering and pressing operation providing services to third-party record companies on a contract basis. Known to have been pressed in two of RCA Victor's pressing plants, Rockaway.

For 45RPM pressings a date code in the matrix identifies when the record was mastered; it is the first letter and number of the eight-digit matrix number up to 1954. In 1955, RCA changed its system slightly so that the first letter alone represented the year.
