Lido

Home Page  Records British Dance Bands Sound Files Contact Me
A black celluloid flexible record dating to 1931, Lido was produced by the Goodson Record Company, using masters also available on Goodson. Lido records are extemely rare, however, as well as being very short-lived; the catalogue started at B-1 and only ran to about B-20 before Goodson records went into liquidation.

 


This is based on information gathered by the late Arthur Badrock, mostly from catalogues. He states that he only ever saw one in his 50 years of collecting! Please e-mail
me if you can add anything to the information here.

Thanks to the following for providing more information: Mike Comber, Robert Girling.

Matrix numbers shown in brackets are assumed (based on the Goodson issues). These need to be confirmed by sight of the actual Lido record.
