Hi all, I have 3 DDs which have different labels on opposite side of the record. One of them is the shield label, with the beaker label on the other side. I guess this is just a case of an early and late pressing being coupled together for the one record?? The next one is pictured below. Its no.80344-songs of other days, parts 3 & 4.As you can see, no3 has the shield label- but no4 has the edison only label. I would have thought they would have been recorded at the same time and had the same label design- or at least had the beaker label that came in between these two labels, or have I got that wrong? The next one doesnt carry the record number on the label, but is Don Juan overture on the normal shield label that Ive got heaps of. The other side is The Turkish Patrol, which is also on the shield label, but is pressed in reverse (ie: Its shiny were it should be etched & visa-versa) Is this an earlier form of the shield label- its the only one in my collection. Its the last picture below. no.3 no4 and the "reverse label"

Shane,
The middle one,no.4 is the last type label used here in the US before the change to paper labels. No.3 is the 2nd type used here and "the reverse" is the 1st type label used here and was made of a much inferior phenol resin surface to the later one of post WWI. The last record you show was made in 8/1914 and is #50162. If you look on the edge of the record, you should find it stamped there, sometimes twice. The edge stamping was done away with in 1919 and there was a brief period when no number apppeared anywhere on the record, just a pasted blurb on the sleeve held the record number. At some point in 1919, the record number was moved to the label as evidenced in the 2nd picture.

Thanks Bill- but do you have any idea why the second and last label would appear on the same record. Would it have been re-recorded? I just thought that the beaker label would have been used rather than the last label, if it had different labels. If it was two different songs, it wouldnt seem so strange to me, but because its parts 3&4 of the one song,i didnt think the labels would be the second and forth styles?? BTW: Do you know for how long in 1919, no numbers appeared on the label or edge of the record. I've got about 20 like that.

If a record remained popular it can be found in all the labels, for example I have record 50100 in the early celluloid and on a white label.
