The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi all, I found this (old) records at a local flee market, but could not seem to find any information about it online, especially as to its territory (appears to be US?), its speed (appears to be standard 78?) and year of release. The record has the label of "Columbia Record, Grand Prizes Paris 1900, St. Louis 1904, Milan 1906" and its catalogue number is A41. It is double sided and carries the following songs:

(1) Terceto De Las Cigarreras (De Madrid & Paris)
Chueca Y Valverde, Curti's Mexican Band
A41 (5390)

(2) Selections from Robin Hood
De Koven, Columbia Band
A41 (546)

Have taken their photos and videos on a HMV 162. Greatly appreciate any information regarding the record. Thanks so much.

Hope this helps ...

Hi there, many thanks!

I have Columbia A 41 which also has Spanish music... Matrix 5333-1-11, the one in the OP is matrix 5390-1-5. And it must have been a company sales policy to add American band music (old recording) in the other side, as in my example which adds King Edward VII March by the Columbia Band, matrix 471-6-2
