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.
