This page presents a discography of the National Gramophonic Society.
It is part of the wiki Classical 'Society' Records by Nick Morgan.
It is best viewed in landscape orientation, on a large monitor. Unfortunately, on small screens it displays poorly and is more difficult to consult.
In future, it is hoped to publish an additional page dedicated to each issue, with more information about its production, contents and reception.
For an account of the NGS itself, please see National Gramophonic Society.
For dates of creation and latest update, please see 'Page information' in left sidebar.

- ↑ Cobbett's disc was never publicly acknowledged by the NGS as a test; this conclusion is based on unpublished correspondence between Compton Mackenzie and Christopher Stone, future NGS Secretary:
- In June 1924, Arthur Liedtke (1873-1937), Columbia's general manager, wrote to Stone to the effect that, 'Before commencing work [recording for the NGS] it wd be well to have a test record made [...] early in July'; Stone, Christopher Draft or copy of letter to Compton Mackenzie, Thursday 26 June 1924
- Three days earlier, Stone had reported, 'Old Cobbett (he's 77) came here to see Faith [Mackenzie] about the chamber music & is quite keen but evidently
whawants to do the recording with his own quartet.' Stone, Christopher Letter to Compton Mackenzie, Thursday 26 June 1924 - Mackenzie's reply was, 'Of course prevent(?) Cobbett's playing!' Mackenzie, Compton Letter to Christopher Stone, Friday [no date; possibly 27 June 1924?]
- ↑ 'At the moment of going to press it is doubtful whether the Schönberg and Schubert records will be ready for distribution before the February number [of The Gramophone] is out [...] But in the meantime we are, by great good fortune, able to offer a substantial compensation. Mr. W.W. Cobbett [...] has generously added to his other benefactions by undertaking to give a twelve-inch double-sided record to every member of the Society as a Christmas present. [...] though it cannot be denied that it comes under the category of "snippets," it is just the kind of record which in the past has formed a path for many a gramophone-lover from the pleasant lowlands to the higher fields of music.'
