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.

“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Europe and the U.K. are yesterday’s world. Tomorrow is in the United States.”
—R.W. “Tiny” Rowland (b. 1917)
“It is impossible for a stranger traveling through the United States to tell from the appearance of the people or the country whether he is in Toledo, Ohio, or Portland, Oregon. Ninety million Americans cut their hair in the same way, eat each morning exactly the same breakfast, tie up the small girls’ curls with precisely the same kind of ribbon fashioned into bows exactly alike; and in every way all try to look and act as much like all the others as they can.”
—Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865–1922)
