Note: This one is a bit of a mystery. Pressed in Canada but the master is from elsewhere. The label says London but the "2289" just to the right of the spindle hole matches a matrix number on the CHARM website for the attribution given above. Nothing showed up matching "155", which is probably the local catalog number. Even though a German band played it, it is definitely a reference to Queen Victoria. Plus, it would have been improper to call it "God Save to Queen" after her death in 1901 so the date range is agreeable. Since Berliner had operations on both sides of the Atlantic and the Channel, one recording was probably deemed sufficient with a slight credit change depending on the market.
Also note: A plunk sound, not a skip, even before filtering at 0:47 regardless of what stylus is used. |
