Odeon in The United States
OKeh issued foreign recordings on a United States Odeon label starting in 1919 for discs where recording had taken place in Europe. In 1929, OKeh started a new ONY- series, first using selected standard OKeh releases and then starting the ONY-36000 series. These superbly made records are quite scarce, and collectors have never been able to determine for whom they were made. (There has been a long- standing suggestion among many collectors that these ONY Odeons and the PNY Parlophones might have been produced to be sold at US possessions and military bases offshore, since about one half of these records were specially recorded non-vocal takes.) They continued producing Odeons through 1931.

Famous quotes containing the words united states, united and/or states:
“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. A Galileo could no more be elected President of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“In the case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of ... powers not granted by the compact, the States ... are in duty bound to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them.”
