Witton |
Witton records date from 1928 when 6
records were issued; they were pressed by Edison Bell and were a 12"
disc, costing 5/- each. Unsurprisingly, given the price, they are hard
to find, and it is assumed they were made for Witton & Co, who sold gramophones & Pianos under this
name.
All 7 known records are by the same singer. The sole issue in
the W-5000 series has the same label design but with black printing
rather than green.
My thanks to
Bill Dean-Myatt for
providing the label image.
