A German-produced label made by Homophon and exported to Britain prior to WWI.
There are two versions of the label, but the English-titled ones use a catalogue series in the E-1 range, the highest reported to date being E-351. You will see some with higher catalogue numbers below and I'm not sure how those fit in. The vast majority of Rubin records were also issued on Homophon, but there were some recorded specially for Rubin. As far as I know, all Rubin issues are anonymous, with the credit being just the type of performance, e.g. Orchestra, Baritone, Tenor &c. Various numbers and codes can be found "in the wax" and sometimes these are matrix numbers. In other cases they are date codes or disguised catalogue numbers from other issues made by Homophon. Sometimes there are no numbers at all ! |
Please e-mail me if you can help me fill in the gaps in any of these series.
