Originally issued without catalog/set number on Victor 9055/8. Album number M-9 was added in late summer 1927. Set AM-9 (9445/8) was issued in 1929.

Early in 1927, after the introduction of “Orthophonic” (electrical) recording, new albums appeared, in flimsy paper or light cardboard albums, designated “Musical Masterpieces on Victor Records." These didn't carry set numbers, on either the packaging or the labels. Initially, the first fourteen of what became the M- sets were issued in this series. In the late summer of 1927 the packaging of Victor's albums changed to the heavy cardboard covers with set numbers shown on the spine, and the M- series was born.
