Comments and Reviews


fixbutte 19th Mar 2014		Thanks, xiphophilos, for your new source. As I do understand the German comments there, I can add that Deutsche Grammphon obviously had a deal with American Brunswick, at least until the early 1930s: German classical music in exchange for US dance music. Thus Deutsche Grammophon was entitled to press records with the original Brunswick matrices. I'll change the country to Germany then.



xiphophilos 19th Mar 2014		I'm pretty sure this is NOT a US pressing. I just found a youtube video of Ben Bernie's "Life is just a Bowl of Cherries", Brunswick 6165 from the same year, 1931. Not only does the label clearly state "MADE IN U.S.A.", it also offers only a Spanish translation. I now see that German Brunswick pressings from before 1935 listed titles in English, German, and Spanish: http://grammophon-platten.de/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?2838. So fixbutte is most likely correct, this is a German pressing that was exported to Belgium.



fixbutte 11th Mar 2014		Please check the latest correction from Belgium to USA (requested by 78rpmfan on Mar 4, 2014: "This is a USA pressing, Belgium never pressed Brunswick 78's.") This record, however, has German and Spanish translations on the label, something not very characteristic for US records, and the lettering and the print image is more like on German records of the time. So it seems that it was either pressed in Europe (maybe Germany) or in the USA for the European market. A (blurred) version of the original US label is here (with a barely visible Spanish-only translation for the Middle American market on it).



lorangrecords SUBS 10th Mar 2014		This is a USA rel. from 1st half 1931. The stamps are for tax when sold in Belgium I suppose.



xiphophilos 16th Feb 2014		A Side: B Side: B Side (Cab Calloway singing as Koko the Clown in a 1933 Fleischer Bros. clip)



xiphophilos 16th Feb 2014		The copyright label says Belgique, so I assume this is a Belgian record. 1930s French Brunswick seem to have French legalese around the label.
