Melograph (GB)
There is reported to be two distinct Melograph records, both from the pre-WWI period. One was manufactured in Liverpool in about 1907, and one is an all-German product of probably a year or two later.    Things are never as simple as they seem, however. The label shown in Don Taylor's book is a German-made one with a catalogue number in a 2000-series. However, the label scan shown here (kindly sent to me by Ian McPherson) shows a record which is also German-made, but with a 2-digit catalogue number .

 

This is a first attempt at a listing, showing the few records I know so far! 
(No 30 is from Norman Field's website, but the label is so battered, I can't read the title or the instrument My Miller is playing.)
Please e-mail
me if you can help with more information.
