In the 1950's when it was eventually replaced by NPA. [u]Notes[/u]: - Polyphon Musik often appears in combination with Polyphon. In that case add both as labels on the release. - Polyphon Musik has sister label Polyphon Musique with an almost similar design for the French language markets. - On many shellacs the unique Order No. printed on both sides is the actual catalog number, while the two Catalogue No.'s are internal matrix numbers and should be indicated as such.
