Design: The iconic images of Egypt: pyramids, palm trees, a blazing sun and dhows on the Nile. A tightly-drawn illustration contained within a semicircular banner. The horizontal lines detract somewhat from the potential maximum impact.
History: Unknown (have info? Please send to info.re.78s@shaw.ca). Label scan courtesy of UK collector and musicologist Bill Dean-Myatt, who notes: "The artist was Egyptian. Pathé-Marconi was a subsidiary of EMI." |
