Whiteley

Home Page  Records British Dance Bands Sound Files Contact Me
Whiteley's were a department store in London (Queen's Road, Bayswater). In about 1912, they started stocking their own records, which were oversized (10½") and pressed from Grammavox masters.
There were about 150 pairs of titles in a catalogue series running from W-1 (The highest reported is W-153).
The records are not easy to find, and details of any not shown here would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Please e-mail me if you can help me fill in the gaps in any of these series.

Thanks to the following for providing extra details: Frank Andrews, Mike Atkins, Bill Dean-Myatt, Norman Field, Robert Girling, Mike Jones, Chris McDonald, Richard Prout, Jonathan Sanders, Michael Turley, Richie Turner
