A couple look like they could be Brunswick pressings, but Ross Laird's Brunswick book shows Chinese material from the West Coast & in China issued in Brunswick's 49000 & 51000 series from 1929-31. Do any pressings show matrix numbers? ds Tim Brooks <[log in to unmask]> Sent by: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> 04/11/2010 09:22 PM Please respond to Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List <[log in to unmask]> To [log in to unmask] cc Subject [ARSCLIST] Oriental Record Co. While at the recent Society for American Music conference I ran into a professor who is looking for information on the "Oriental Record Co.", a label that was distributed by a San Francisco theater troupe in the mid-to-late 1920s. She has a good deal of information about the theater including their ads selling the records, and wants to find out where they were recorded and who manufactured them. Anyone know anything about this label? There seem to have been a lot of issues, all numbered in a 5000-series. There were several label types, viewable on the web at http://www.bh2000.net/special/patzak/detail.php?id=2847 (and probably other places as well). If you have any information on this label let me know and I'll put you in touch with her. Tim
