British Dance Bands

Turmaphon records were manufactured by the Turmalin factory in Germany and the examples shown here were specifically produced for export to Britain. The few seen all have a U-series catalogue number, though a couple have differnt numbers on each side, just to make things difficult for 21st century discographers!
All the issues shown here seem to be using previously-recorded masters from the defunct Bel Canto company.

Thanks to Michael Gunrem for the label scan.

A very scarce label; even Frank Andrews had only gathered a few examples, as shown below. A couple of issues have been reported as having different 'catalogue' numbers on either side, as will be seen below.
