To the best of my knowledge all Diamond records were double sided.Josh Cattermole 1999 wrote:Wow. That's a great cover. Mine hasn't arrived in the post yet so hopefully it comes in an original sleeve (I've noticed in many cases records listed online don't have sleeves displayed by the seller. But in several cases I've bought records online and they've arrived in some truly beautiful and amazing covers. It's baffling that the sellers don't show this off) as I imagine finding an original cover separately will be a near impossible task. Interestingly, epigramophone, my example has ''Double Disc'' engraved on both sides, whereas yours does not. Is yours single sided? It would be pretty interesting if this short-lived company sold both single and double-sided records.
And yes, knowing Edisons history it seems odd that no lawsuits were smacked down on Pathé.
Covers are a particular interest of mine, as I contribute a regular series of articles on the subject in the CLPGS magazine.
