OKeh TrueTone records.
I noticed that on the labels of OKeh TrueTone records some say General Phonograph Corporation and others say OKeh Phonograph Corporation. I think the ones with the latter designation came out after Columbia bought out the General Phonograph Corporation. Also,I told a friend that I think some of the TrueTone OKehs are electric edisonplayer.

Okeh began using electric recording in September, 1926. If the matrix # dates the recording after that and it's a TrueTone label it could be electric. Maybe early electric Okeh records used up old label stock or something before the new "Okeh Electric" labels.edisonplayer wrote:Also,I told a friend that I think some of the TrueTone OKehs are electric.

Re: OKeh TrueTone records.
Honest and for true, although Truetone OKeh's are louder than the prior acoustic OKeh's,, they are acoustic.
It seems to me that years ago, I had a OKeh Truetone that had an OE in an oval in the lead-out. It was a vocal record of no interest and I didn't keep it.
