These records were made for EMG Hand Made Gramophones of Grape Street, London and were first accounced in 1935. I understand the venture lasted about a year.
These were 12" records priced at 6/- each, and most likely were pressed from French masters, probably Polydor.
However, the P-77000 series masters seen on the first issues are from Ultraphon. Some of these were issued in France on the Pro Musica label, which may be the source of the PM- master numbers.

The catalogue numbers started at T-1 and ran to at least T-17, though T-15 is the highest so far reported to, or discovered by me.

Please e-mail me if you have any additions or corrections to this page.
