hi did you check with kurt knauck at 78rpm i am sure he must have a picture of it zono -Original Message- From: Glenn Longwell majesticrec...@snet.net To: Antique Phonograph List phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Tue, Nov 19, 2013 2:02 pm Subject: [Phono-L] Lyric 8108, interested in label scans or transfer I'm interested to know if anyone has Lyric 8108 or, at a minimum, an image of the labels. This is the vertical cut brand from Lyraphone. As far as a transfer, if anyone owns the record, I'm most interested in the A side. As for who the artist(s) is I don't know. It was probably announced either July or August 1917.

No, I didn't. However, I will likely be in touch with him and Allan Sutton once I receive the record I want to compare to Lyric 8108. It's on the way to me, hopefully in one piece... Here's the record here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291014454135?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 The side with no label has the slight possibility of being from a Lyric master. If so, it's possible this is the work of Clarion as Jacques Kohner started that after he left Lyraphone. If that's the case then there's no wonder why this label never got off the ground - a vertical cut record from 1921 would have been a bad business decision! Have yet to find anything on Electronic Phonograph Corporation in New York. Have found Electric Phonograph Company in Kalamazoo though. So I'll be try to figure out where both of these sides came from.

There is an Electric Phonograph Corporation stock certificate, circa 1918, on the below site - says they were the makers of the Phonolamp http://scripophily.net/elphoncor.html - Original Message - From: Glenn Longwell majesticrec...@snet.net To: Antique Phonograph List phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 11:42 AM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Lyric 8108, interested in label scans or transfer No, I didn't.

Re: [Phono-L] Lyric 8108, interested in label scans or transfer
Very interesting indeed. I think you have helped solve the puzzle. According to Sutton's book there was a Phonolamp label but not until 1921. However, the Electric Phonograph Corporation had been around since 1916. So that probably pegs this disc to when vertical was still a viable option so likely pressed by Lyraphone, not Clarion. This being what looks like a test pressing I wonder if this label ever got off the ground. It's not in the American Record Labels book by Sutton/Nauck.
