ABSTRACT
A British (originally German) record distributed in the years before World War I, made from European matrices. Discs with the Homochord label and the Homophone label were both issued until 1914, when Homophone ceased. The first issues were sold in 1913 by agents Bernhard Andres and Co., brightened by the registered trademark of a nude harpist on the label. Limited distribution resulted from the war, but the Andres Brothers remained in business until March 1917, when they were interned as enemy aliens. The label was sustained by Carl Lindström (London), Ltd., using British pressings.
