A very colourful
and scarce pre-WWI record,
ILCO
discs were pressed in Germany for I. Lange & Co. of Berlin using Bel-Canto masters and catalogued in
a 5000 series which appears to match the series used for the Bel Canto
label itself, as well as others such as the Aga label. Lange went into liquidation in April 1912, so this wa a very short-lived label, probably available for just a few months in early 1912. Although the label looks to be JLCO, the first letter is in fact an "I" with a "tag " at the bottom, a practice common in Germany at the time, hence ILCO. (I Lange Co.) Thanks to Bill Dean-Myatt for providing the label photo. |
Please e-mail me if you can help me fill in the gaps in any of these series.
My thanks to Frank Andrews in providing
most of the information for this page.
Thanks also to: Zachary Cooper,
Norman Field,
Mike Langridge,
the late David Moore, Rohan, Richard Prout
