Would, by any chance, the REX' matrix numbers be prefixed by an X ?
MAny english recordings available on Rex were used in France on Magra, and those Magra records have a number, prefixed X alongside the French matrix number prefixed CP. I was wondering if that X number comes from the Rex records.
Thanks

Just looked at a Rex disc I had to hand and the prefix is an F.

And in March 1937 Decca took over and the matrix prefix changed to R. But many Rex issues came from American ARC,etc. See Rex listing at Mike Thomas Site

Yes I should have taken a look there, as I use this site pretty often.
Thanks to you both ! I'll keep investigating.
