Bull Dog

Home page  Introduction  Label Index  Musicians  Sound Files
A very rare British label available from 1915 until sometime during the early 1920s. The joke amongst collectors is that the label is a different design on each one found. While this is an exaggeration, there do seem to be quite a few different designs. The early ones (see first label) had a (by then) old-fashioned etched label. The later records were pressed by Crystalate and had standard paper label, though there are three known different designs; four if you include the fact that the third style shown here can also be found with an orange background instead of the yellow. The records cost 1/6. Bulldog.jpg (68536 bytes)
