MARSH RECORDING LABORATORIES 78 RECORD LABELS

The story of Orlando Marsh and his pioneering Chicago studio is well known (see American Record Labels & Companies for a detailed history, and When Did Marsh Begin to Make Electrical Recordings? for a recent update). But the records themselves — many of which are exceedingly rare — have not been studied in great detail, aside from the handful of classic jazz sides. This listing is a start toward what will become a systematic Marsh Laboratories discography, covering what is known so far of Marsh's main pre-1926 matrix series (mxs. 1 – 1000s, plus control numbers).

Aside from his own Autograph brand, Marsh produced a vast array of ethnic, advertising, and private labels, including Crown (Thomas W. Hatch), Greek Record Co., Ideal Sacred Records, Messiah, Ogren & Uhe, Rialto, and Wallin's Svenska Records. In addition, his masters were sometimes licensed by Gennett, Paramount, Rainbow, and their subsidiary labels, and even appeared on Sears Roebuck' Silvertone label. In some cases, Marsh's masters were renumbered or assigned false "control" numbers for use on outside labels, possibly accounting for some of the gaps in this list.

Marsh's post-1926 production (including Electra, Crenshaw Brothers, Deagan, and numerous advertising records and radio transcriptions) is not covered below, but will be added if sufficient data become available. These generally have matrix numbers in a 4000–6000 range and appear in both 10" and 12" pressings. Some significant material appears in those series, including the earliest "Amos & Andy" radio transcriptions.

Collectors who own Marsh products or suspected Marsh products are encouraged to e-mail additions or corrections from first-hand inspection of their copies, and will be fully acknowledged in ongoing revisions of this list. Please, do not send data from secondary sources like auction lists or unmoderated hobbyist newsgroups.


Marsh Laboratories Preliminary Discography: Update 11 / May 1, 2008

Thanks to Jeffrey Fox, Richard Markow, Doug Benson, Angela Mack and Guido van Rijn (via Alex van der Tuuk), David Giovannoni, and Chuck Mulder for the latest additions and corrections to the database. Doug Benson has raised the interesting question of whether certain numbers in the 200 series, currently listed here as control numbers, might in fact be the true matrix numbers. Notations have been added to reflect that possibility, while further research is undertaken.

Our thanks also to the following collectors and researchers for supplying new or corrected information over the past three years: Richard Densmore (USA), Jeffrey Fox (USA), Pekka Gronow (Finland), Mark Hendrix (USA), Lawrence Holdridge (USA), Irving Lightner (USA), Richard Roof (USA), Randy Stehle (USA), Hans Schmidt (Germany), Hugo Strotbaum (Netherlands), Ellen W. Thomas (USA), and Ralph Wondraschek (Germany).

A dash following the label indicates that no catalog number was assigned. For unnumbered double-sided pressings, the matrix used on the reverse side is shown in parentheses.
