(It might not be new to you, and I don't know whether it helps!)<br />"Rust... lists a batch of Tom Bryce records, 2045-2064 (all but one recorded 20-23 Sept 1898) but has a blank next to 2048, now known to be Skye Boat Song. A page from a contemporary Gramophone Company catalogue, reproduced... by Joop, fills in that gap. In fact, Rust notes that these earliest Berliner (Britain) numbers 500-9274 are catalogue numbers assigned later without regard to chronological order, as no matrix numbers were assigned when the records were pressed. They were organised into groups, with the 2000 run denoting male performers."Lyn Nuttallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02787764444828858061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449053695727451554.post-6568268603917777552019-02-06T11:17:14.975-08:002019-02-06T11:17:14.975-08:00Hello Lyn, thanks for your professional comments. ...Hello Lyn, thanks for your professional comments. <br />The Berliner discography in the Talking Machine Review is new to me. It gives quite different recording dates for Tom Bryce. I don't know which source is the best to rely on. <br />Joop greetsJoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485700617534422565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449053695727451554.post-75281489935058185502019-02-04T21:46:07.959-08:002019-02-04T21:46:07.959-08:00Hello Joop.

Berliner Gramophone in Britain misspelt Tom Bryce's surname as "Brice". Good background here https://archive.org/details/HillandaleNews158/page/n3?q=baritone+%22tom+bryce%22 , plus Brian Rust's history and discography here https://archive.org/details/TMR63_64/page/n17 (He has serial numbers only for 2048 & 2049 but the Gramophone catologue page (that you reproduce) fills the gap. I'm not assuming these sources are new to you, of course!Lyn Nuttallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02787764444828858061noreply@blogger.com
