The history of the RCA label goes back to 1901. In that year The Victor Talking Machine Company was founded. This company released records on the Victor label. In 1929, The Victor Talking Machine Company was acquired by the Radio Corporation of America. Despite this, the Victor brand continued to be used. Shortly after World War II, the name Victor was changed to RCA Victor . In Europe, the name RCA was not used on records until about 1950.
