John Bull Record

Profile

Another very patriotic-looking label, but produced in Germany on the "tally-man" system. This was sold door-to-door and the customer would get a free gramophone after signing an agreement to buy a set number of records (about 50) over the next year, at 2/6 each. John Bull records first appeared in 1909 using masters from [l65217] and Favorite, and later on, other German and British companies became involved, until the company ceased in 1913 and all old stock bought by the Albion record Company.
