 | Eric H Eric H Member since Aug 2016 2 Points | I'm clearing my mother's collection of 78's and have come across a record on the "Yorkshire Gramophone Library" label it's title in hand writing is Q.E.S. Broadcast Nov 16 1948 and the label says "Public Performance Strictly Prohibited. I don't currently have a way of playing it, can anyone tell me what it might be or the Q.E.S. might stand for? Thanks I managed to play it on a 45rpm deck, it has announcements, like a church service and then hymns. Edited by Eric H on 7th Aug 2016, 6:28 PM |

| TheJudge In-house specialist in drive-by moddings. Member since Dec 2012 3715 Points Moderator | Just guessing here, but Nov. 16, 1948 was the day Prince Charles was born. Could it have been some royal announcement or proclamation (with the 'Q' standing for 'Queen' or Queen's')? Edited by moderator on 29th Sep 2016, 2:01 AM |

| TheJudge In-house specialist in drive-by moddings. Member since Dec 2012 3715 Points Moderator | She wouldn't have been in 1948 - her dad was still there. |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4138 Points Moderator | The Queen would be Mary, Queen Consort, and known at the time as "Queen Mother" Edited by Juke Jules on 7th Aug 2016, 6:49 PM |

| TheJudge In-house specialist in drive-by moddings. Member since Dec 2012 3715 Points Moderator | No, the queen in '48 was Elizabeth (who became QM in '52 when she was widowed). It's true that Mary (George V's widow) would have been QM in '48, but she apparently refused to use that title. Anyhoo, this doesn't solve our puzzle. |

| Juke Jules SUBS Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow Member since Jan 2011 4138 Points Moderator | Yes of course, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Mother, 1900 - 2002 She may well have made a broadcast announcement of the birth |

| RadoxTheGreen Wait, I have to scan what now? Member since Jan 2013 772 Points Moderator | You could do worse than enquire to the Royal Family. They are often quite helpful about things like that. Try asking at St James's Palace, Marlborough Rd, London SW1A 1BS or give them a call (Tel. 020 7930 4832). If they can't give you an answer straight away, they might take some details and get back to you, or point you to someone who can answer your query... always assuming it is something to do with the Royals of course. Is there really no way of playing it? Local museum with a working gramophone? Sorry, just noticed your edit. Edited by RadoxTheGreen on 19th Sep 2016, 8:33 PM |

 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3747 Points Moderator | Could be a transcription disc. I added one (which I can't play either... yet) on the London Transcription Service (Pre-cursor to BBC transcription discs) label, which has air raid siren sounds... intended to be used on radio broadcasts as sound snippets within the context of a public information programme.
