4 - in- 1 |

| 4 in 1 (a British Homophone
product) was a genuine attempt to give more value for money. The records
do have 4 full-length tunes on every record, each side playing for at
least 6 minutes (some are longer!). The groove is fine and the quality
is not bad considering the technical limitations. Each is a master
recording and not dubbed from an existing "normal" 10"
record. All matrices are English, and mainly dance bands. The catalogue
ran from 1 to about 91 and all date from 1932-34. They must have sold well, at least to start with; the first 20 or so are quite common, but they get progressively more difficult to find until any numbered above 60 are rare; above 80 are pretty well impossible to find. |
As there are only about 90
issues - it's a nice size to try and list here, so here we go!
(Note: all dance band titles are Fox-Trots unless otherwise noted)
