Comments and Reviews

Bamboo 20th Jul 2020		All 'A' side labels now added. As mentioned, the 'B' side labels are all identical, so only one of these has been uploaded here.
Bamboo 4th Jul 2020		Further to my comment below, stating that there is something printed on each of the 'A' sides, it MAY be that these are actually previously printed labels for other records showing through - having been reversed and the blank white side re-used for these records. The second photo uploaded of side 'A', record 3, seems to indicate this. The label image has been 'reversed' and 'filtered / enhanced'. The underlined word may be (a misprint ?) of the word 'orchestra'. The writing is probably on the other side of the label as the lettering presents itself as a' mirror image'. The writing is probably not an impression from some other source created by accidental pressure as each of the records has a similar, but different 'pattern' of letters.
scrough 2nd Jul 2020		As in my earlier comment: 224, Great Portland Street London, W.1 is the address of the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB), so 'The Sound Recording Committee' is a group within the RNIB that decided what was published.
Pridesale 2nd Jul 2020		Interested in who the "The Sound Recording Committee" are. (and would this be a better label or subset in His Master's Voice to help find them) I could see techmoan on YT interested in both the tape machines (he may well have done them) and the 24 speed disc players - I presume these went out on loan rather than purchase and the discs were sent on a library basis ?
Pridesale 2nd Jul 2020		Via a family Connection I only knew of via the internet (very ancient) the Ward family in Ward, Lock are related, one of the family was a Barrington-Ward I think one time Bishop of Oxford, but as publishers they were relatively benign and helpful to their authors and so on, so being involved in projects such as this at an early date does not surprise me.
scrough 1st Jul 2020		The JG series were private issues, and only available from their publishers. The address given is for the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB), so these are better known as 'Talking Books', a service that started in 1935. By the time I started working on RNIB equipment in the early 1970s, they were supplied as multi-track wide-tape cassettes, slightly smaller than video cassettes, played on special machines with a replay head that could be moved vertically using an index button to access each individual track.
Bamboo 30th Jun 2020		Notes: 1. I note that the word 'Kind' appears to have been mis-spelt as 'Kina' on the 'B' side labels. ('By kina permission of ...). 2. This record content is from the first novel in a long-running series of books (lasting into the 1980s) featuring the adventures of Simon Templar, alias "The Saint". Please see the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meet_the_Tiger 3. The 'B' side labels on all 11 records are identical. The 'A' side labels however have different braille writing - images will be added of those later. 4. Catalogue numbers are JG13458 to JG13468. 5. There is something printed on each of the 'A' sides in small, gold / silver reflective lettering. It seems to have worn off and is now illegible. This printed matter content seems to vary 'from record to record'.
