A 7" disc manufactured by Crystalate in England for export to Australia. They were available from about 1925 to 1927, and used English masters recorded in London. All were recorded acoustically. |
The information below is mainly that
collected by Arthur Badrock plus a few things of my own. The recordings dates
are in UK format (dd/mm/yyyy).
