The first edition was published before the takeover of Crystalate GmbH by Lindström AG, probably in September or October 1936. The other label photos show the 2nd edition from the beginning of 1937 after the takeover by Lindström AG.

Many thanks to han enderman! Your label photo was proof that my guess about the second issue from the beginning of 1937 was correct and that there was a first issue in 1936.
Kristall 3623 - Image of original release, track A, added. - Within this (3000) series the highest number with the earlier label type I have seen is 3659 (mx 25248) by F.Domina, whereas available label images of 3673 (mx 26112) by Harry Krischa and 3681 (mx 26201), Violetta by Max Rumpf, have the new gold ribbon label.
The Crystalate GmbH Berlin-Reinickendorf with its flagship brand "Kristall" was taken over by Lindström AG at the beginning of 1937. With this, Lindström introduced a new label, easily recognizable by the surrounding garland or gold ribbon. The typography of the "Kristall" lettering was also changed. The original crystal records before the takeover also indicated the production location, this was omitted from the new label image. Therefore, with this record, it is clear that it was not produced and released until 1937, despite being recorded as early as May 1936.
