78 rpm record labels scans from about 1920 to 1960

78 rpm record labels scans from about 1920 to 1960

Columbia YB13 "The yellow label has turned to blue, which I suppose is quite in order with this apparently erratic series, and we’re back to 78 rpm as well. We have a slightly different master series, too, prefixed WAD. Western Electric, Columbia, Dub. No problem there. The recording of Big Ben is rather distant, and, though I no longer have the disc, it's by no means as atmospheric as the Big Ben record issued on HMV. However, the HMV deliberately recorded the sound of London Traffic as well, with motor horns and so on, so that disc would, when played in distant Colonial Outposts, Refresh and Invigorate the stalwart upholders of the British Empire. The Columbia was doubtless meant for less exalted purposes, such as sound effects for theatre and broadcasting use. In that role, it would, admittedly, have served adequately."

I've got this Columbia one. No background just the bells, pure and clean, although just a little crackly :-)
