Swoop78 19th May 2021		78 RPM Whit Cunliffe - Germany (Hoch, Hoch, Der Kaiser) / Tow The Row, Row (1915)	The date of this recording is probably late 1914, but more likely 1915, as it is an overpasted label on top of the original Regal issue, catalogue no. G6423. As this original recording wasn't released until Feb. 1914, the Phoenix overpasted version cannot be 1913. All known Phoenix records after number 230 are Regal records with overpasted Phoenix labels, probably to clear old stock.

Swoop78 25th Mar 2021		78 RPM Mr. Harry Cove - The Wedding Glide / How D'Ye Do Miss Ragtime (1913)	This is a German export to the UK, produced following a split between the Berolina Company in Germany and William Barraud, the importer in the UK. The Latter produced Invicta records in the UK until May 1914, when, following a court order to stop him using the name, he changed to " Guardsman ". All UK Barraud produced Invicta recordings have the dark blue label, whereas the German exports continued with this pale blue and red. Hence, there can be two records on the Invicta label with the same catalogue no., but different titles, and different coloured labels.
