In the USA at the time of release of Mercury Recordings they got in a mix of lathe cutters depending on the disc type and quality. For the orchestral recording studio mixes they for certain recorded not to tape, but to 35mm optical film strip - but this process I think came in for some recordings by others in the mid 1930s, but would not depend on Electrical Recording Methods to work as it was a light interruption system, not an electronic one.

"Electrical Recording" was of course as much a marketing term as actual process, I wonder if any labels carried it despite NOT using it (naughty!!)
