I don't have anything at present that I can reliably play older 78s on. In a batch of 78s I was given - nearly all of accordionists - there's a 10" disc without labels I can't identify.

It has identifiers ROY-202-A and ROY 202-B in the run-out, repeated in smaller more regular type as 202 A and 202 B.

Any ideas, anyone? I appreciate this doesn't give a lot to be going on....

It could be a Parlophone record from 1948. Unfortunately, I can't tell you which one. But runout strings with ROY appear in quite a few of them:

I agree, possibly either 1948 or 1949 based on others in this matrix series.

Ah, the ROY stands for Royal, USA! I've noticed a bunch of those ROY-prefixes on Parlophones of the time, now I know why. Thanks, scrough!

I don't known if the label IS Royal USA - that is what Frank Andrews wrote in his notebooks. The USA label that seems to fit best is Royale so I'd be grateful for any advice on the correct label name.
