[2][3] The band included musicians such as Big Bill Broonzy, Roosevelt Sykes, Washboard Sam, and Sonny Boy Williamson.

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.

In the mid-1970s, RCA revived the Bluebird label again, for a series of 2-LP sets of big band, swing and jazz reissues produced by Ethel Gabriel and Frank Driggs.

RCA Victor's entry into the budget market was the 35¢ Timely Tunes, sold through Montgomery Ward retail stores.

Test-marketed at selected Woolworth's stores in New York City, these 8-inch discs are so rare today that copies of certain titles may no longer exist at all.

Most 1800-series material was immediately reissued on the buff label; afterwards it ran concurrently with the Electradisk series (made for Woolworth's).
