 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3747 Points Moderator |  Posted this on 45cat site, of unidentified partial record sleeve, and don't know exactly what it is, as 78s and the like are not really my thing, but I have this, and it has no identifying marks on it other than the briunswick logo, Disney permission and title... Can't find info on the net, so though perhaps someone here might be able to furnish me with some info... date, cat. and other particulars. (Some Seem To think it is a shellac disc (?)) Thanks. Mmmmmmagic MMMMmmmarmalade.  |

 | TheJudge In-house specialist in drive-by moddings. Member since Dec 2012 3715 Points Moderator | I've drawn a blank too, MM. The only clue I can see is that it may be a UK issue, based on, a) the reference to 'Walt Disney-Mickey Mouse Ltd." (rather than 'Inc.', 'Pty.' or suchlike), and b) that the address of the owner appears to be in Kew. Or have I mis-read that? |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3747 Points Moderator | Sorry TopPopper, It's more than likely something to with Windows 8 (Let's blame Microsoft... It is fashionable at the moment! ... I've had no end of problems with it and Adobe, and miss XP!!!!) I posted on 45cat. Ephemera section, you can view it there (perhaps(?)) Very frustrating having this cover piece, knowing that the bits that I don't have are bound to be the parts with all relevant info on... can't find any specific reference on the internet (which is big, I've heard), and Brunswick is a different company now than the Brunswick who made those old records aren't they? ...Would Contacting them help me do you think, or would they not have records of the brand from that era? |

| scrough🍰 No picture 'cos I'm not into 45rpm :( Member since Jan 2013 3429 Points Moderator | Just looked in the UK Brunswick catalogue published 1950 (78rpm to 31 March): A0167/9* Alice in Wonderland : GINGER ROGERS as Alice Story with songs,sound effects and music (6 sides). A book type container, printed in colours, is available for these records at an additional charge. The * indicates these are 12 inch. Edit: See here Edited by scrough on 15th Jul 2014, 11:37 PM |

You're absolutely right scrough... it is St Mary Cray, where my folks used to live. But it's not any of my relative's names on the sleeve; Still can't make out the name,but the address is No. 6, Wellington Road, St Mary Cray, Kent. Sterling work by the way scrough! Your mention of Ginger Rogers made me dash to get the sleeve out again and examine the "signitures" again, to see if I had a Ginger Rogers signature!!!! But unfortunately, I can't make out anything like that yet... but I can discern each name is prefixed by: "R M", which I thought were initials, but that seems to be the biggest coincidence in history if they all shared the same forename initials. The one immediately above the "Alice" in the front Title appears to read: "R M (small indistinct initial) Rogers S(?) John" and the one on the bottom left, on the back reads: "R M (small, barely noticeable initial) Laughton" the only other one that I can make anything of is the uppermost on the back, which seems like: "R M (tiny little mark/initial) Harry/Barry-(something)" (Harrywa/hewn(?)) I've even had a look inside the cover to see if there are any markings/print, but nothing is there. But thanks for your help with this, it moves me a little closer to identification with each post (Perhaps I could one day list it on this site, with Cat. No. and everything!) |

| scrough🍰 No picture 'cos I'm not into 45rpm :( Member since Jan 2013 3429 Points Moderator | Have a look here too. This link and the Ginger Rogers one earlier talk about the American releases on USA Decca, which would probably be released as Brunswick in the UK, and UK Brunswick was owned by UK Decca. LP's weren't released on UK Brunswick until mid 1950 according to the same 1950 UK catalogue. I thought the M 'small initial' might be a Scottish/Irish Mc - so McNaughton, etc. It looks like the owner was a child practising how to make their signature in "joined-up writing". |
