Robeyphone Grand records were sold by Chas. T. Robey of
Coventry along with Gramophones and needles of the same make. The records used "Jumbo" (i.e. Odeon) masters in the Lxo- series. Although the label mentions no country of manufacture, they were almost certainly made by Crystalate in Tonbridge, Kent and date from pre-WWI. As you can see from the listing below, knowledge of the catalogue is very scant, though the catalogue numbers match those of "Jumbo". However, it seems unlikely, given how scarce Robeyphone records have always been, that the whole "Jumbo" catalogue was also pressed up as "Robeyphone Grand" records. Hence this listing. Thanks to Adam Miller for providing the label scan. |
This is a listing still in progress! Please e-mail me if you can help me fill in the gaps in any of these series.
My thanks to
Frank Andrews
for providing most of the information for this page.

Duncan Brand, Greg Butler, Dean Carroll, Ian Carruthers, Bill Dean-Myatt, Graham Farnell, Norman Field
