ABSTRACT
Twin discs had their own single-face number series, quite separate from Gramophone Concert discs, and from Zonophone single-sided discs (which had an “X” prefixed single-face numbers in repertoire blocks). The British Zonophone Co. had been set up earlier by G & T to handle U.K. issues of Zonophone Records and machines from the G & T German subsidiary, International Zonophone Co. (In 1910 British Zonophone also became an independent private limited company,as a subsidiary of the Gramophone Co., Ltd.) The two labels came together in May 1911, the Zonophones having been sold under British Zonophone since February 1904 and the Twin since June 1908. The new label of the combined catalogs was “Zonophone Record-The Twin.” It bore the twin cherubs
design, a registered trademark. The Twin label was used in India after World War I,by the Gramophone Co. India, Ltd.
