I
am reconstructing the numerical catalogue of Beltona records
and need information on those listed below.
In some cases I lack any information at all for the number
given, but in most cases I lack only the matrix numbers.
Thus I have divided this request for information into
two parts. However,
as everything needs to be checked I would welcome the fullest
possible details on every record listed. I need full artist
credits, full tune titles, composer and/or arranger credits,
catalogue number and prefix, matrix number and take number plus
any performance description. In short, everything that is on the label and
in the wax surrounding the label.
For those records with matrix numbers in the range M-11000
to M-14700 the take numbers can be found in microscopic print
in the wax surrounding the label, but not in any regular position.
Some of the higher numbers were issued primarily for
sale in Ireland, whilst others were
made especially for sale by the Gramophone Shop, Dublin.
Many of the highest numbers were issued in the 45rpm
format as well as on 78rpm.
From 2719 onwards
all issues made as 7” x 45 rpm only.
I need information on both formats.

I have no
information at all on any these numbers;
785: 1354: 1418: 1489: 1490: 1494: 1495: 1535; 1586; 1663; 1664; 1672; 1673; 1675; 2029; 2191; 2192
I have basic
artist & titles details on all the following records, but
I lack the matrix and take numbers.
However, still send the fullest details possible, in
order that I can check what I already have. I need matrix &
take numbers; tune titles & composer credits; full artist
credits, performance description,
etc:
