Broadcast Twelve Records
Broadcast Twelve Records was a United Kingdom based record label introduced in 1928 to partner the regular "Broadcast" brand records introduced in 1927. These brands replaced the Aco Records label.[1] The manufacturer of the discs were the Vocalion Gramophone Company.[2] "Broadcast" discs were 8-inch (later increased to 9-inch) and "Broadcast Twelve" discs were 10-inch 78rpm gramophone records, but with small labels and a fine groove pitch so they would play as long as regular 10- and 12-inch discs respectively. They ceased production in 1934.
The label was a subsidiary of the British branch of Vocalion Records. A full listing of Broadcast records was published by the City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society CLPGS in 2017. [3]
