Broadcast Super Twelve

UK Shellac label. See also Broadcast (2), Broadcast Twelve & Broadcast Twelve Super Dance. In March 1931, the new Broadcast 12 Super was introduced to replace the "Super Dance". These were mainly (but not all) dance records. The label was of a standard size and the surfaces were very good. The recording quality was fair and the label offered some name bands to compete with Bidgood's various names. The bands of Marius B. Winter and Jack Harris may be found as well as The Blue Mountaineers which was basically Ambrose's band. Later on, some American matrices were used from the ARC/Brunswick company. This came about from Vocalion being bought by Crystalate in mid 1932. The catalogue numbers started at 3001, reaching 3374 in April 1934 when Crystalate ceased production of all Broadcast records.
