Joe London, Oh Monah. Berlin 1931

The Joe London band aka Richard Forst recorded quite a handfull of records for the Brillant label in the early 1930s, all very good dance music often with good solo work. His 'Oh Monah' version is the hottest I have ever heard.

Sorry for the rough start but I HAD to upload it :o)) The record is not in the best condition, but I hope to find a better ex. one day.

According to the Dixi/Silverton-discography, the first Silverton records were all Brillant recordings issued with their original numbers.

@60rep Yes, thats right, but as far as I know, Brillant had their own pressing plant and the Silverton label was a Lindström label, pressed by Lindström.

My blue Silverton is definitive pressed by Brillant/Tonographie and not by Lindström, so how come that Brillant used a name belonging to another record company?

Was the Silverton name first owned by Tonographie and did they later sell the name to Lindström?

[60rep]

@danishjazz A simple explanation would be that Åhlen&Holm owned the Silverton name. There are Cameo records made by Sonora, Lindström and Kristall, Teco records made by Artiphon, Edison-Bell and Sonora, Resia records made by Kristall and Lindström, Star records made by Pathe, Tri-Ergon and still someone. It seems quite normal to me.

@60rep Well, that could be the reason. But what about the blue Silverton label. It is all written in German, and as far as I know the Silverton label was only for the swedish market?

@danishjazz What needs to be translated to be understood? It would be unnecessary trouble. And I have seen a Swedish Parlophon label where half of the text is printed in Czech...(by mistake, I believe, the same recordings were issued in Sweden, Czecho-Slovakia and Germany)

@60rep You are a lucky guy, - everything is so clear to you. Your life must be easy, - take care and enjoy the music :o)

Just one little hint:

the order nr. 44 is the same like on german brillant and grohag issues from the stahmann company (later "tempo")

@danishjazz This is a simple case! And I enjoy the music, very much!
