Rafael Bauwelinck 4th Mar 2016		78 RPM Lyric Trio - When I Was A Lad	Victor was the dominant figure in the record and phonograph market in the early 1900s. Victor was started by Eldridge R. Johnson, a machinist from Camden, NJ. His first records came out in 1900. There were a couple types before any you see here. This label is considered a "Pre-Dog" label as it lacks the famous Nipper logo yet to be used. It is a 10" record that was called the Victor Monarch Record where the "lease agreement" is on top half of the label. By October 1901 Eldridge R. Johnson incorporated as the Victor Talking Machine Company and replaced his name as the manufacturer.
Rafael Bauwelinck 4th Mar 2016		78 RPM Garde Republicaine - Scottisch du Carillon / Scottisch des Cloches	In September 1911, Aérophone discs were imported from Paris, and sold from premises at 50 High Holborn, London. Apparently both vertical and lateral cut discs were made. I don't know what cut this one has. Perhaps both? Neither is it known for how long they were available. What is certain, is that not many can have been sold – they are very scarce.
Rafael Bauwelinck 24th Feb 2016		78 RPM Mme. Lyse Charny - Carmen / Werther	British Actuelle discs duly came out in September 1921, with ‘Needle Cut’ on the label – disque aiguille. They had several catalogue series. The normal ‘popular’ series above began at 10101, and continued out of our time period, until December 1928, over 1,400 issues having been made by then.
Rafael Bauwelinck 24th Feb 2016		78 RPM Mr. Georges Elval - La Gitana / Le Rêve Passe	In September 1911, Aérophone discs were imported from Paris, and sold from premises at 50 High Holborn, London. Apparently both vertical and lateral cut discs were made. The one above is 10.5″ and is lateral cut. Neither is it known for how long they were available. What is certain, is that not many can have been sold – they are very scarce.
