The original label of this name was an
American one, dating from the 1940s and produced for the Jazz Man Record
Shop in Hollywood. The American label was the same design as the British
one, but in green; the British label also has "British" under the label
name. The British label, as seen here, was produced by or for Tom Cundall, of Broadhurst Gardens, London. There were 22 different discs and they were issued either during 1941 & 1942 or during 1950-51, or it may be both and that the records were issued in more than one batch. The recordings them selves date from the late 1930s and 1940s. Both the British and American issues are numbered "Number 1" upwards, and most likley the two labels correspond exactly, though there were more than 34 in the American series, a listing of which can be found here. I will only list the British issues based on actual records seen or advertised in the UK, rather than make assumptions that the two series match. Thanks to Bill Dean-Myatt for providing the label image. |
