Domino Records (1916)
Domino Records was a
disc records with a light-blue label and dark-blue lettering.[2][3][4] Domino advertised their playing time as equal to that of a 10-inch disc.[3] Playing time was actually around two-and-a-half minutes.[2] The discs were marketed by two different companies; out of New York by the W.R. Anderson Company, and out of Dayton, Ohio, by the Thomas Manufacturing Company.[3] Domino Records also made 7-inch pressings for other concerns, including Concert Records, Domestic Records, and Melodograph Records.[3] In February 1917 a 10-inch red disc was introduced by Domino.[2]
The product, consisting of standard material of the day, never achieved popularity with the public.[2][3] Production and marketing had ceased by the end of 1917, and surviving examples are scarce.[2][3]
