We really need a bit more info before we can help. Is it single or double sided? Does it have a number on the label? What colour is the label? Are you in the USA, UK or where?

I wonder if the number you listed is a matrix number, not the catalog number. Maybe this listing can help you to at least date the record:

Is it Zonophone A 365? (linked page has Z 040222 listed as a matrix number.)

Wow, you nailed it, JCL135! The National Military band with chorus on Zonophone A 365, released October 1929, with "In A Monastery Garden" (matrix number Z-040222) on the A side and "Ben Hur" (matrix number Z-040223) on the B side.

Well done - the Ketelby pages would make a 'Useful Link' on 78World!

Well done! We might as well have all the details:

Recorded 24 July 1929, with Charles W Saxby FRCO on the Binns organ in the Kingsway Hall, Holborn, London.

Z-040222/Z-040223 are 'face numbers' not matrices. Those are Zz16709-2 (Monastery) and Zz16710-3 (Ben Hur)

Ben Hur was composed by George W. Byng who conducts on both sides.

Deleted from catalogue October 1941.
