Re: [ARSCLIST] Pathe 12" Waldorf-Astoria DO
My guess is Okeh
Mine are overtures (One being "La Boheme".),by some European Orchestra,with no conductor credited.Don't want to dig the one or two I have out now.One of these I bought on eBay,in the 1917 US Odeon Fredrich Kark Beethoven #7 set. The final record in the set was missing,which was not mentioned,in the listing when I bought it.and the Okeh was replaced in the pocket.Anybody got a replacement record of the final disc for me ?
At the time,both Odeon and Okeh were both pressed by The National Phonograph Company.Others know more about the history of National Phonograph than I do,but I assume some of these Okehs were of recordings acquired as European Odeon recordings,they tried issuing on Okeh.
Someone here might be able to fill me in more on this.
