A very scarce label from pre-WWI. This one actually states "Made in
Germany" though the labelling is all in English. It is thought to
have been produced for the Alexander Record Company of Birmingham,
Chester, Coventry & Manchester. The catalogue series are the same as the Beka discs from whence the masters are all derived. They started at 01; the highest known being 478, the Beka issue of which was issued in late 1911. |

This is a first attempt at a listing. Please
e-mail
me if you can help me fill in the gaps;
you can see that I have very little information so far.
Thanks to the following for assisting:
