[78-L] Brilliant..record label

[Han Enderman]

I have (only) images of Brilliant 5035:
Marie Morrisey: Oh Rest ... / My Heart.
These are paste-over labels on Brunswick.
The paste-over covers the outer part of the label (with Br label/company name), 
but the info and the Brunswick "B" logo are not covered.
For an original Br label see ARLIE Br I canada.

Apparently orig. on green Br(C) 5035
(google-books is very difficult to use here, poss. for copyright problems, 
and I was unable to find it in Laird).
Is this the same as Mal's record?

>>> Anyone ever heard of a record label called BRILLIANT? Vertical cut, similar to 
the early Brunswicks. Striking gold and black labels. This one, 5230, has two 
songs sung by one Joseph Phillips..The Star Spangled Banner and For the Glory 
of the Grand Old Flag, the latter composed by a Canadian, Gordon V. Thompson.
I just found this sample today..too bad it has a big crack.

No location at all, and quite different from the yellow and green sample Mal 
just sent me. Guess I'll have to get 'er scanned! Mine is gold with the word 
"Brilliant" in black letters in a straight line across the top, and a black 
area starting a half inch above the label with a straight top and an arc 
bottom, containing all the record info. Quite a bit of gold leaf on these 
labels. Matrix numbers 1944 (Glory/Flag) and 1945 (Star Spangled Banner).

I'd be interested in the scans of both records.  The 5000 series had me thinking 

potentially Rex or Lyraphone derived - if they were US - but the matrix numbers 

don't match.  

So I did a google search on "Canadian Brunswick vertical" and found what we're 

looking for.

This is a Canadian Brunswick pressing.

Looks as if it duplicates Brunswick 5230, which Ross Laird lists as containing 
the Flag song and "unknown title". No matrix numbers shown, but nearby ones are 
in the same sequence. So that's what we got here. Thanks! It felt like a 
Brunswick vertical..but was it pressed here, or just made for the Canadian market?

..mystery sort of solved. Vertical cut Brunswicks were marketed in 
Canada (and only Canada) through 1919, and old stocks were apparently 
overprinted with these "Brilliant" labels and sold off while the new lateral 
Brunswicks were being introduced.

Thanks to Glenn for finding the connection. Both the disc I found and the one 
Mal scanned and sent me off list are originally Brunswick verticals.
