Folks:
I came across the following 10" black shellac 78:
Blue label side:
OLYMPIC
Baritone with Orch.
"Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes" [Ben Jonson]
Percy Hemus
17104-A
Matrix 17104-A
Olympic Disc Record Corporation, New York.
[This side has about ¼" of unmodulated groove at the end of the side; recording engineer late getting back from the men's room? :)]
Light green label side:
Symphony Concert Record
Baritone with Orch. Price $1.00
"Danny Deever" [Kipling-Damrosch] [Walter Damrosch, the conductor?]
George Landers
21155-B
Matrix 17104-B
Both labels match the songs. Both are acoustically recorded.
Was this a common occurrence? Anyone know anything about these labels?
