Chantal Deluxe (Belgium) / c. 1923

Corporate background:

UK music researcher and collector Bill Dean-Myatt, who supplied this image, notes: “[This label was] first recorded in Britain, then in Belgium, using masters

from Aco (UK), Vocalion (both UK and USA) and Gennett (USA).”

Design: There are obvious design similarities with the Gennett label, featuring the strong hexagonal panel, the open interstices being filled with curlicued ornament.

The typography is less striking than the Gennett original, with an awkward mixture of condensed script and expanded capitals.

The space allowed for the imprinting has not been well handled either, with the lines of type being badly arranged.

Rarity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Value: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
