ABSTRACT
A British record issued by the Metropole Gramophone Co., Ltd., of London; later by Metropole Industries, Ltd., from April 1928 to ca. 1930. Those two firms had taken over the former Hertford Town factory whose previous occupant had been the Parlophone Co., Ltd. (under Columbia’s control). About 300 discs were released; some were offered free with the purchase of the firm’s Metrophone portable and console record players. American material from Grey Gull was used on about 50 of the records, and much of the material was shared with the Piccadilly label, from the associated firm Piccadilly Records, Ltd. [Rust 1978.]
