A bit of research: the stamps were to verify the composer had been paid http://j.mp/19FDFeH

For research purposes, I highly recommend two hardcover books & two softcover from the 90s, if you can still find them anywhere:
-Gramophone Records of the First World War (basically the HMV Catalogue 1914-18)
-The English 78 Picture Book (British counterpart to the American Record Label Book)-label histories
-Those Were The Days (Stars of the Gramophone)
-Those Wind-Up Days-
(last two softcover, more like journal periodicals)-
lots of pictures in all of the above
  8:42pm Simon:

Where is that club? I want to go!!!
  8:47pm Simon:

The Phoenix label? How did those ever escape Hogwarts? ;-)
  8:51pm Twoscentshin:

Too bad for me; tuned in too late for, You Can't Get Many Pimples On A Pound Of Pickled Pork
  8:54pm Simon:

Mac - rationing often meant you had to submit a record for recycling in order to get a new one. Before that in 1930s there were quotas in terms of how many foreign records/movies could be imported, so uk cover versions were often the only (legal) way to get hold of these songs
  2:37pm Rob:

hi,
just to let you know I am a uk record collector, and have uploaded some of my early records to my blog at
http:/listentothegramophone.blogspot.co.uk
and there will be many, many more uploaded, so I'd be greatful if you could chek it out, it would be worth it if you like to hear these records.
Love the program!
