The audio quality was excellent by contemporary standards and they featured professional talent, most with names known to the general public, but Vogue was handicapped by the lack of any big "hit" names.

These were deluxe picture discs, priced much higher than ordinary records, and they sold in very small numbers. It was the first 33⅓ rpm picture disc and the only one made until many years later.

Some politicians and demagogues explored the potential of the discs as a medium for propaganda. Some were illustrated with photographs or artwork simply designed to be appropriate to the musical contents, but some graphics also promoted films in which the recorded songs had been introduced, and a few were blatant advertising that had little or no connection with the recording. Their first wave of significant popularity did not arrive until the start of the 1930s, when several companies in several countries began issuing them.
