That'd be the label type, yep! I saw the set at Ward Marston's house over the summer and I'm pretty sure he had a Martinelli as well, same label type, same 12 inch format, too. I think there were a few others in that series, but obviously not many. These were released in late summer of 1929 (Ron D., are you there to confirm this for certain?).
I was impressed by the sound quality on them!

I do remember the Roth discs now. Gold labels with black text, right? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 10, 2008 7:22 AM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Shellac records and damage from steel needles Robert, There were indeed 12 inch Edison needle cut discs issued. The Roth String Quartet set of two discs is one example, I believe the Giovanni Martinelli needle cut issue was also a twelve inch disc. Hope this helps.
