V-DISCs were made for USA servicemen during World War II between the years of 1943 to 1949 and shipped to military units around the world on a monthly basis. Below you’ll find listed the original recordings that Muggsy and his V-DISC All-Stars recorded for V-DISC, but twelve of his Bluebird Ragtime Band recordings were also transferred over to V-DISC.
