Bob1951 17th Jan 2017		Interesting, thanks for the information. After listening to the record and examining it better, I would say that you are correct in that it is blue shellac.This is, most likely, the only blue shellac record I have. It is in excellent shape (Looks new). It makes sense that they used this type of label with the record being acoustic. Thanks!



slholzer 17th Jan 2017		The newly added labels are later chronologically than the original blue "Magic Notes" labels, but not so much later as you guess, Bob1951. Had they been issued in the late 1940's or 1950's, they would have been red label Columbias with the microphone logo, and they would not have retained the original A- series number. The blue/gold "Magic Notes" label was dropped in 1923 (as, in fact, were the various A- series) and replaced with the so-called "Flag" label, which was in turn dropped by June, 1925, as an economy measure. Your examples are a later variety (there were four different varieties) of the so-called "plain black" label that replaced the "flag" label. Although the "plain blacks" were generally discontinued in 1927 when the company started advertising its Viva-Tonal electrical recording on their labels, the old "plain black" label must have been carried over for the duration of this record's catalog life-span because it is an acoustic recording, made in 1919. The blue vinyl (actually, it's shellac) is the essential clue here, as it was introduced in December, 1932 and discontinued in 1936. As unlikely as it may seem, I'm guessing that the record was continuously available from its original release to at least the early 1930s, else it would not have retained the original A- series catalog number.



Bob1951 16th Jan 2017		Re-issue label images added. This Columbia A2849 re-issue is on blue vinyl, most likely issued in the late 1940's or early 1950's.
