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).
Please e-mail
