Note
This discography, together with that of Rosina Buckman, was originally prepared by George Woolford to accompany my article ‘Sing to me, Maurice Dear’ that appeared in For The Record, No 4, Winter 2002/3. They are presented here in a revised form. William Main’s discography for Rosina Buckman in The Record Collector Vol. 47, No 1 March 2002 was also consulted. This story is worth finding as it is a good read. I extend my sincere thanks to him, his researchers and to George Woolford. Reference was made as well to ‘British Odeons’ by Michael Langridge, published by The City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society in August 2006 and ‘The Gramophone Company Ltd.’ by Michael Smith, also published by the City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society in March 2004.

Anyone undertaking to develop a discography soon discovers how difficult a task this is. At the end of his version of the discographies, George Woolford explained a few of the problems so this useful backgrounder follows:

Matrix numbers do not always run consecutively due to ‘takes’ made days or even weeks after the original session.

HMV often had to re-record items, due to volume levels and ‘wear test’ which all recordings were subjected to. Thus a current session matrix number would have a higher ‘take’ number added.

So the Butterfly session recorded on the 10th, 14th and 21st of March 1924, are appraised and a further remake session takes place on the 4th and 16th of April 1924. Those listed with ‘-2’ or above would be likely to be the 4th April. Cc4404-6 on D-906 would be likely to have been made again on the 16th, obviously a problem!

Columbia conceals their matrix information and the recording ledgers that we discographers would like to inspect have been lost.

Pathé, the face numbers, i.e. 93870, have an additional mastered number written beneath the Trade Mark. This changes when the disc is re-recorded from the master cylinder. Luckily for us after 1914 the abbreviated date is also given for the year the re-mastering was made.

Catalogues also confirm existence of titles which must have been recorded before the catalogue was produced. Unfortunately, many recordings had a very short life, and since Pathé also suffered a factory fire in 1915, some of the masters may have been lost.
