Balkan Phonograph Records (U.S.A.) / c.
1951
Corporate background:
Label scan courtesy of UK music researcher
and collector Bill Dean-Myatt.
Design: A
carefully-drawn and delicately screened illustration of the
snow-capped mountainous Balkan region, at sunrise or sunset.
The banner containing the label name is
also tightly drawn, the whole arrangement making the most of
the small area allotted.
The word ‘phonograph’ is
obsolescent, but has probably been included to fill out the
available area.
