Globe Phonograph Record

Manufactured by the Arto Company, this label was active from 1920-1923 Globe couplings are identical to corresponding Arto label releases. Early Globe catalogue numbers were K- or L- prefixed. Label design started as black-on-gold, then switched to dark blue on gray or buff (for popular issues) and red-on-buff (for standards and classical issues), retaining the same basic design. The label name was Globe Phonograph Record for most of its lifespan (1920-1922) but became just Globe (with a new label design) at the very end, in early 1923.
