Jaycee records were pressed by Crystalate from their Imperial masters
during the mid-1920s. The masters date from around 1926 and
the records were sold in the Co-Op. "Jaycee" was a Co-Op brand, which they also used on their own tobacco (and maybe other items they sold), but I've not managed to find out what it means, though one can assume the initials "JC". The records are pretty rare and the series, which was in a J-100 range, was quite short-lived, probably only 20 different records. Such a small catalogue usually impiies one issue only; in other words these were issued all in one go and maybe didn't sell very well, so they didn't repeat the order with Crystalate. Guessing from the value on the copyright stamp (5/8d), the records probably cost about 1/6, the same price as the Imperial issues.
The label is
difficult to scan because of the colouring, but it is a bright red with
gold printing. |
