FIVE OF SIX UNIQUE 10" VINYLS INCLUDING JAZZ (1-sided discs)

Here we have in one Bundle a set of Five unique pressings , all are single sided 10" discs which play at 78rpm, The b Sides have grooves and are blank when played most have a plain Yellow Label on the B Side.  They all come in plain white sleeves and most have the same generic 'Made in England' copyright text around a white label. (there are two discs with different labels - one is yellow and the other plain white)



All discs look hardly if at all never played (until i just tested them) so are in excellent+ condition , these were purchased in a large bundle and are either in house demos or record company test discs , Sold to me as promos or acetates (although they are not metal based acetates and more like a thick plastic vinyl)


After playing Shazam / Siri notices all six of the songs as Jazz pressings, generally with released which date back 100 years to the 1920's,  some writing in pencil on the label and what may catalogue numbers.


All the info I have on these are in the photo and also listed below .. Not sure when these were made or exactly what they were made for and believe they have been stored as archive pressings solely due to the almost mint condition

A very helpful collector advised me the following - These were pressed from American Brunswick masters by Polygram, successor in interest to English Decca, in the 1960s. They offered to return the parts to American Decca for a charge of 50 dollars (or pounds) per part, but the American company wasn't interested, so before the parts were sold to a scrap firm to be melted down, a handful of copies of each were pressed in vinyl. They play very well.

The parts with "XYZ" were dubbed in England from American sources. (this s
