scrough 5th Aug 2022		Xiph has summarised this well. UK HMV continued to release 'Celebrity' records as single sided until 1924, and the face numbers given are the catalogue numbers for these releases. 4-2205 is already on our database, and 7-32012 would have been released sometime during World War 1.



xiphophilos 4th Aug 2022		I've read that the subsidiary Electrola Gesellschaft m.b.H. was founded as a subsidiary of the British The Gramophone Co. Ltd. on May 8, 1925 since they couldn't use their traditional "His Master's Voice" labels with the Nipper trademark in Germany. It may have taken a few months, of course, until Electrola was able to release their first records. The British His Master's Voice started its D.A. reissue series was started in August 1924. So this record is definitely not from 1923 but, at the earliest, from 1924 and, because of Electrola's founding date, more likely from the second half of 1925. I've corrected the release dates here and on the parallel British issue, and while I was at it, I also fixed three other Electrola issues that had been given pre-1925 release dates. The label style of this very early German Electrola label with its golden quadrant lines is similar to the February 1925 to April 1926 #B3 "His Master's Voice" label at http://early78s.uk/hmv-record-labels-on-the-b-series-1912-1958/



78rpm-maniac 4th Aug 2022		Very nice early Electrola issue with Enrico Caruso.According to my knowledge, Electrola started in Germany as a HMV-subsidiary-company in 1926 ?? Is 1923 the recording-date or the current release date as German Electrola-record ?? I´m a little bit confused.
