Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 4th Jun 2024		Redpunk's labels (images 3263111 and 3263112) show the margin text used on red labels, I think, between 1934 and April 1946: “This copyright record may not be publicly performed nor broadcast without authority." So they could be from 1942. Lovinda's labels (1152869 and 1152870) show the margin text in use between March or April 1948 and October 1954: “All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Made in England. Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting and copying of this record prohibited.” Because they still feature side indicators A & B, they must be from ca. March or April 1948 and June 1950. I'm not sure why they don't show a white Beethoven head and white Decca logo. Could it be that they are not British? lorangrecords' labels (images 3519627 and 3519628) show the same margin text, except the label has an empty spot at the top where Lovinda's label says "Made in England." Could this be a Swedish label?



xiphophilos 4th Jun 2024		lorangrecords' third label variant no longer has A and B side designations, so it must be from after July 1950, which is when Decca stopped using them. I think the labels with the white Beethoven head and Decca name and the shorter margin text are the earliest, and I have moved them up.



lorangrecords SUBS 18th Mar 2024		Added a third label variant with a bit other text and only Chappell & Co. as copyrightholder on both sides

Redpunk ● 11th Apr 2023		Added label scans with changed design.



xiphophilos 7th Jan 2017		I bet it was the same record (same label and cat. nr.). I merged both entries and deleted the duplicate.



Lovinda 17th Sep 2016		Not sure if this is the same record as I linked to. I've sent a PM to the submitter.
