records are so obscure and hard to find, that I've not seen any
information published about them. I have 8 discs, all found together and
all in very poor shape. I will list them here in the hope someone else
may have one or two. The only clue I have is the label stating "Universal Talking Machine Company Limited", but, unusually, no address or country of manufacture. I am assuming they were manufactured in Britain for issue in Britain, or possibly for export to India (given the Elephant logo). The records date from pre- WWI, probably about 1909, and use a 1000 series catalogue. |
This is a first attempt at a listing. Please
e-mail
me if you can help me fill in the gaps
in any of these series.
