I believe Standard Talking Machine Co. was in business from about 1901 to 1918. I recently picked up a dozen Standard single-sided records with some nice titles, and already had some double-sided. Does anybody know when they made the switch?

When did Standard transition to double-sided records?

I think Victor and Columbia switched to double-sided records in 1908, so I am guessing that other companies followed their lead not long after.

Standards were pressed by Columbia using their masters with Standard's labels pasted on them and with the spindle holes enlarged for Standard, but not sure if Standard switched over at the same time Columbia did. Seems reasonable to assume that Standard would not have switched any earlier than Columbia did though.VintageTechnologies wrote:I think Victor and Columbia switched to double-sided records in 1908, so I am guessing that other companies followed their lead not long after.
