Mike Gann 27th Jul 2024		DAHR has it listed here as an issued record. That doesn't always mean that it was issued. https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/objects/detail/32355/Gramophone_4-2374



scrough 27th Jul 2024		McCormack's recordings were issued on the HMV Violet label, which was discontinued sometime after the 1919 annual catalogue, and do not appear in the 1920 catalogue. I have searched all available annual catalogues up to 1920, and this record does not appear in any of them. It looks like this recording was never issued in the UK until 1924 when it was issued on HMV double-sided DA-312. It seems that discographers have probably taken this 4-2374 'face number' on DA-312 and used it to predict an earlier single sided issue. I have sent a PM to one of the 'owners' of this record for further clarification.



han enderman ● 27th Jul 2024		HMV 4-2374 - McCormack's Victor 64343 has a 3-line patents label (i.e. 1913 pressing, listed in TMW Aug 1913, as is Victor 64301) and this earlier label type is still used for 64373 (in TMW Nov 1913). Evidently the releases had been numbered in advance and were not issued in numerical order. Apparently the HMV number was reserved for this recording, but maybe HMV was less interested in a fast release when it became available in 1914.



scrough 26th Jul 2024		The previous catalogue number 4-2373, also recorded by McCormack at Camden on the same day (1 May 1913), was issued in the October 1913 HMV New Records supplement page 4. Other recordings with similar catalogue numbers were also issued towards the end of 1913. However I can't find any of the main annual catalogues for subsequent years (1914,1915) listing 4-2374. Two members claim to own this record, so we can't say that it exists only in documents, and was never issued. So this remains a mystery. But long before Bolig, John Bennett lists this record in his 1955 Voices Of The Past Volume 1.



Mike Gann 25th Jul 2024		4LuvOfDeals is correct. This was released on Victor 64345 in the USA in March 1914. The source is John Bolig's Victor Red Seal Discography.



4LuvOfDeals 25th Jul 2024		The date is wrong. The 1st pressing is on a Victor Bat wing, which didn't come out until 1914. I have this record.
