Unissued Recordings

Columbia's 'Personal Record' series has not been documented in full, so it is possible that other recordings were made for the Chicago Gramophone Society but not issued. To date, none are known.

In November 1925, John Alden Carpenter recorded a piano reduction of his ballet Skyscrapers. The recording has apparently been thought to have been made for the Society,[2] but this is highly unlikely: it was recorded almost a year before the Society was first heard of and would have been neither suitable nor practical to issue. In fact, Carpenter's recording was almost certainly intended as an aid to the ballet's first ever staging, at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in February 1926 (see provisional discography and discussion).

50018-P

There is no Chicago Gramophone Society disc with the catalogue number 50018-P. The disc in question was a Personal Record made by Columbia for another client (see discography).
