The only data I have on English Gramophone Co. recordings discs is a Word document compiled by Alan Kelly. His discography shows that both sides of C-1684 were recorded May 7, 1929. The personnel is Walter Glynne, tenor; George Baker, baritone; Elsie Griffin, soprano; and Carroll Gibbons, orchestra director. I don't know how accurate this information is, as it's second-hand to me. The database only goes up to 1929 so I can't find "Florodora." You may ask Alan and see if he has the date, the latest email address I have for him is [log in to unmask] You're also aware that Jack Raymond reissued several of the Victor Light Opera Company recordings as a four-volume set on Pearl, "Broadway Through the Gramophone," right? Two of the CDs are out of print, but the transfers are also brilliant. -Ryan > Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2012 15:18:21 -0700 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [ARSCLIST] Victor Light Opera Company > To: [log in to unmask] > > Hello- I am in the final stages doing a hi-definition CD set of all the > records in this list.
