Manufactured by Crystalate/Vocalion, Elim records date from the early 1930s, with a label design very reminiscent of the "Broadcast 12 Super" label and with masters in a CP (Crystalate personal) series and catalogue numbers starting at E-1. I suspect the label was quite short-lived. All Elim records were of a religious nature and were produced on behalf of The Elim Publishing Company Ltd. of Park Crescent , London SW 4. They cost 2/6 each or 3/3 if sent by post. |
Thanks to Ian McPherson & Richard Prout for the images including that of a sleeve from which much of the listing below has been taken. Thanks also to Bill Dean-Myatt for subsequently filling in all the gaps!
