Comments and Reviews


scrough ● 20th Sep 2021		@Pridesale: Double-sided discs were pressed by many companies from ~1907 after an Austrian court overturned a patent on them.



TheJudge 20th Sep 2021		See the link in Scratchy45's first comment and you'll see why Lyric ceased.



Pridesale 20th Sep 2021		I thought I was confused, did not think this disc would be pressed in 1870, it must be pretty close to 1912 which ties to Redpunk's comment ( would it have been pressed by effectively parlophone or were independent dual sided disc presses in operation by 1912. I presume ? That Lyric in part passed out of issuing owning to WW1 or what other late 1913 event ?



TheJudge 12th Sep 2021		Germany was first effectively unified in 1871, but the individual states within it still retained a lot of autonomy (of identity, at least) until the Republic replaced the Empire after WW1.



Pridesale 12th Sep 2021		I was sort of making the political point of I am not quite certain when the federated Germany came into being .



Redpunk SUBS 9th Sep 2021		The Lyric label is a short lived label from the 1912-1913 period and is quite rare. Especially this design which I've never come across in the flesh.



Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		Pridesale - i don't have means to play something like this at the moment. I understand quite a lot of shellacs sold in the UK pre-1914 were pressed in Germany.



Pridesale 9th Sep 2021		If that is pressed in Saxony would that be pre (end of) WW1 ? Could be Billy Williams looking for extra incomes, what does audio sound like !! Artist name appears on Famous in 1912 too.



Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		Both songs (can't play them at present) are usually performed by Billy Williams. Might this be a cash-in? I see no aliases for Billy Williams.



Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		Entered with cat no C2 as seen to right centre of label. Michael Thomas's website with details of UK labels seems to explain why. - this is an earlier series with Midland Gramophone Co.to bottom of label and and Saxony (Kalliope) pressing reference.
