Sterling (12)

Australian label manufactured in 1929 by Clifford Industries Ltd. (despite the fictional Sterling Record Co. credit on the labels) for sale in a Sydney department store (possibly Farmer's as indicated by the "F" prefix on early releases or Savage Stores for later releases). Little is known of this scarce label. Sterling used masters from U.S. Cameo & Gennett which were issued under a variety of pseudonyms (those credited to Ray Miller & His Band are not really by this famous bandleader). The only genuine artist credit known too haver been used is Vernon Dalhart.
