This was a British-produced label for sale only in Australia. The
records date from the early to mid 1920s and use Pathe Actuelle masters.
The catalogue number started at VH-1 and ran up to VH-68. Thanks to Bill Dean-Myatt for providing the label photo. |
The listing here is from research by the late Mike Sutcliffe, with assistance from Frank Andrews.
Please e-mail me if you can help with any further information.
