Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 13th Aug 2020		Even the catalog number, A616, is the same, in fact, with both the Columbia and the Harmony Record version. Columbia provided the matrices for several of these low-price, Chicago-based mail-order record companies that tried to tie consumers to their brand by using over-sized spindle holes (3/4" for Haemony Disc Record, 1/2" for Standard Disc Record). Maybe these records were even pressed in Columbia's Bridgeport plant. The label is a relatively late Harmony Disc Record label (ca. 1912) where the word Disc has already been dropped from the label name.



Ron Reagan1 13th Aug 2020		This says Harmony Mixed Quartette, but every website says this Harmony release is the same as this one. Same situation as the first one. It says "Harmony Band" but it's Prince's Military Band according to every website I've researched plus the matrix numbers match the Columbia release.
