xiphophilos 6th Nov 2023		Mr. Terry was comedian Will Terry. "The Ghost of the Violin" by Terry and Osborn (face nr. 35334 / mx. E-33) was also issued in 1910 on Beatall Record 354: http://www.mgthomas.co.uk/Records/LabelPages/Beatall.htm. It is probably originally an Operaphone recording. "Woolloomooloo", after the suburb of Sydney, Australia, was a comic song by music hall comedian Herbert Rule, released by him on The Winner 2269 in 1913. It was also released by Steve Mullins on Jumbo Record A23651. The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia dates that recording to "c.1910"; if Herbert Rule was the original writer, it's probably also from 1913. In fact, M. G. Thomas dates nearby face numbers to April 1913.



xiphophilos 6th Nov 2023		Interesting. The site says that the discs with the logo of two horses holding records were a product of the German Turmaphon company (but released, of course, in the United Kingdom), which was owned and pressed by the Turmalin-Fabrik in Berlin (thus Made in Prussia). In 1911, The Universal Electrical Directory lists the Turmalin-Schallplattenfabrik Max Abrahamson, Wienerstraße 50, Berlin S.O. 36. The Zeitschrift für Instrumentenbau, vol. 30 (1909-1910), page 1121 (from 1910), reports that the Turmalin-Schallplattenfabrik Max Abrahamson was renamed into Turmalin-Werke Derby Record Company, owners Max Abrahamson and Max Meyer. They produced a label called Derby Record for export to the UK. From 1911, the Turmalin-Fabrik also released records under the name Turmaphon Record, see http://www.mgthomas.co.uk/Records/LabelPages/Turmaphon.htm and https://grammophon-platten.de/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?33143 The last link reports: Established in 1905, the Turmalin Fabrik Fest & Co. originally produced so-called anonymous records (also on a contract basis) without company or brand names. In 1907 Paul Harrig acquired the record company, in 1909, Max Abrahamsohn. Apart from pressing their own labels, such as "Derby Record", "Turmaphon", "Non Plus Ultra" and "Tip Top", the Turmalin Works also made custom pressings for other companies. In 1912, Turmalin 1912 bought all the matrices of the discontinued "Bel Canto" label.



Redpunk 6th Nov 2023		Thanks to Michael Thomas for pointing me in the direction of this web page http://early78s.uk/a/ which is where I saw the label before but due too memory fade had forgotten. Scroll down to ANONYMOUS or ‘NO NAME’ RECORDS.



Redpunk 6th Nov 2023		Sure I've seen this label before but can't remember the name.
