This is a companion volume to the Italian catalogue, La Voce del
Padrone, already published by Greenwood Press. This new volume
provides a complete catalogue of French gramophone recordings made
by the Gramophone Company Ltd. between 1898 and 1929. During this
period the Compagnie Francaise du Gramophone was the continental
European, African, and Asian end of a powerful partnership between
the Victor Talking Machine Company and the Gramophone Company Ltd.
The volume includes details of Victor recordings issued outside the
Americas and hence is a useful adjunct to the series "The
Encyclopedic Discography of Victor Recordings," also published by
Greenwood Press. The first three sections conform to the previously
established pattern of listing Gramophone black and celebrity
labels followed by the Zonophone green labels and the Gramophone
green labels. In 1920, it was decided to issue records specifically
for the Belgian/Flemish market; these are detailed in the fourth
section. The contents of each section are listed in numerical order
following the pattern of the early printed catalogues, that is,
bands followed by orchestras followed by talking, etc. A list of
the series actually used precedes each section and acts as a table
of contents for the section. Each catalogue entry comprises as much
as possible of the following information: the original numerical
catalogue number; the matrix (serial) number; the date of the
recording; the name of the artist(s) involved; the title of the
piece; alternative issue numbers; and occasional notes. The
introduction provides an overview of the company's recording
practices and cataloging systems. This volume provides much-needed
guidance for the seriouscollector and will be a valuable resource
for the music historian.
