Comments and Reviews


Scratchy45 22nd Dec 2020		Pleased to see a date has been found. I find myself wondering if a UK release existed for this - or for example, Columbia 25780 (seen on discogs with an image) - which has the very un-american title "I Shouted Bovril To The Bull" ) .



Mike Gann 19th Dec 2020		After everyone else's toil and sweat, I actually found the release date for it. https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Talking-Machine/00s/Talking-Machine-1905-12.pdf



xiphophilos 19th Dec 2020		1905-1906 Fleur-de-Lis label listing Grand Prize Paris 1900, St. Louis 1904 and only one patent (1901) at the bottom, cf. M. Sherman & K. Nauck, "Note the Notes," page 10, cf. page 25. Between 1904 and 1908, the same time period when regular releases featured the Conditions of Sale label (1904-1906, friktech's Label 4 & 4A) or the following Grand Prize label (1906-1908, friktech's Label 5 & 5M), Columbia used the Fleur-de-Lis label for foreign-language titles that drew on recordings from the general catalog. For releases that featured overseas recordings, Columbia tended to use its Statue of Columbia label. This record seems to be one of the exceptions. This must be a 1905 release because Columbia replaced it in April 1906 with a new recording by its New York studio band, the Columbia Band, released on Columbia 3344.(DAHR)



Mike Gann 19th Dec 2020		You're not butting in at all, scratchy. Your information is of great help and I appreciate it. I've amended the composer field, and I'm going to date it as 1904, at least for the time being.



Scratchy45 19th Dec 2020		While not wishing to butt in, there are some examples of early Columbia label design in the "labelography" here No exact match, but this suggests the label design predate Label05 as shown. Found a couple of French and one Brazilian reference to the release from archive sources. Borel-Clerc is actually a single hyphenated surname, not two names, and he was the arranger of a song by Mayol, said to have gained its inspiration from a Brazilian dance. There several alternative ways to spell the name of the dance...



Mike Gann 19th Dec 2020		This particular disc is untraceable. xiphophilos, if you can work your label/patent no. mojo on it, I would be very appreciative.
