His Master's Voice La Voce Del Padrone: The Italian Catalogue; A Complete Numerical Catalogue of Italian Gramophone Recordings Made from 1898 to 1929 in ... the Gramophone Company Ltd Discographies

This discography provides a complete numerical catalogue of Italian gramophone recordings made by the Gramophone Company Ltd. Kelly has effectively used the archives and registers of EMI Limited (The Gramophone Company) to offer a richly detailed picture of recording activity during the years 1898 to 1929.

The main catalog is divided into three sections: recordings issued on the Gramophone label; recordings issued on the Zonophone label, including the Trento-Trieste Supplement; and recordings issued on the Gramophone Green label. Kelly's introduction gives an overview of the company's history and cataloging practices.

He not only examines the history of the Italian Gramophone Company, but adds the discographical record of the Victor Talking Machine Company, of which Gramophone was the European, Asian, and African partner.
