(1) | The only record I have seen in this series is a demonstration record for a radio manufacturer; there is a reference to the series in Alex Robertson's Apex list, but only one item is noted. |
(2) | U.S. numbers |
(3) | U.S. numbers through 4500 and some later; others are recoupled Okeh sides. |
(4) | U.S. numbers through 4556, items thereafter are U.S. issue numbers where U.K. sides were used! |
(5) | Went from 12129 to 15130 - reason unknown. |
(6) | Not known if U.S. numbers or not. |
(7) | The extent of Apex issues is as yet not known to me. |
(8) | These numbers may have been duplicated by the above series. |
(9) | The only evidence I have for this series is its listing in "Roll Back the Years" by Ed Moogk. |
(10) | Presumably U.S. numbers but not verified. |
(11) | These were the final recoupled issues of Okeh sides. |
(12) | The following later series fit into this chart: 900 (Famous Artists), M-900 (Minerva), M-14000 (Minerva, Melotone), 18000 (Melotone-French). Compo-Decca also issued a 10000 series unrelated to, but duplicating, Starr 1000 numbers, as well as some other issues which may have duplicated much earlier numbers in various series. |
