Brunswick Records
1916-

The J. M. Brunswick Manufacturing Company was founded in 1845. John Moses Brunswick originally wanted to manufacture carriages but soon turned to billiard tables. That proved a great success and in the following decades the company merged with competitors to become the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company in 1884. It expanded into other fields such as bowling equipment and furniture. In the 1910s, phonograph cabinets were added.

Clients included Edison and Pathé but Brunswick soon wanted to enter the phonograph business for itself. Production of machines began in 1916 but the U.S. production of records had to wait for a few more years before crucial patents owned by the Big Three expired. In the meantime, Brunswick used its long experience in wood-working and machining to build well-crafted phonographs that could play all three major disc formats (lateral, Edison vertical and Pathé vertical) using its own Ultona Reproducer. Edison didn't like that and cautioned buyers that a groove-propelled tonearm, opposed to an arm geared to the motor like in Edison models, could damage Diamond Discs. There can be some truth to that depending on the conditions of play and opinion of modern collectors. However, Pathé was more enthusiastic and even set up an agreement to have Brunswick dealers sell Pathé records exclusively. At this time, Brunswick was also allowed to manufacture records using the Pathé cut and sell them in Canada.

The lateral cut patent expired in 1919 and Brunswick, as well as other companies, were finally able to enter this mainstream market of recording in the U.S. Its studios produced very well-recorded material but pressed it on shellac of slightly less quality than Victor or Columbia. Acoustic-era records in good condition often sound better than those of the Big Three, capturing more highs and lows. Brunswick quickly replaced Edison to become a member of that club. It produced 10 and 12-inch discs across many genres. It signed big names like Isham Jones, Abe Lyman, Marion Harris and Gene Rodemich in these first few years.

In 1925, Brunswick introduced electrical recording alongside its great rivals. However, Victor and Columbia had exclusive licenses for Western Electric's system so it leased its own method from General Electric and called it the "Light-Ray Process". To avoid infringement, it involved the extra step of converting sound into pulses of light before a photoelectric cell turned that into electricity. Then the signal was sent to the amplifier and cutter. This greatly reduced the aural quality and takes were often rejected, especially when the music was more complex such as in the Classical genre. What was issued was often tinny and stereotypical of what 1920s music sounds like to the layperson today. Studio engineers improved upon it somewhat until 1927, when Brunswick was able to license a new system from GE using a more conventional microphone.

Being a Midwestern company based in Chicago, Brunswick was able to really illuminate its star roster in the late 1920s as jazz and blues traveled up the Mississippi River to that city. King Oliver, Red Nichols, Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington, and Johnny Dodds were such talent. Ben Bernie, Al Jolson and Harry Reser were other popular names that joined the catalog at this time. Sales began to drop with the Great Depression and in 1930 Brunswick-Balke-Collender sold Brunswick Records to Warner Bros. The film company wanted their own facilities for recording Vitaphone discs, but sound-on-film soon won that format war and Warner in turn sold Brunswick to the American Record Corporation (ARC) by the end of 1931. Yet, this short period saw even more top talent signed like Bing Crosby, Cab Calloway, Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra, the Mills Brothers, the Boswell Sisters, and Ozzie Nelson. ARC made Brunswick their flagship label during the 1930s, a period where the focus of this website ends. Over the following decades Brunswick would go through several more acquisitions, mothballings, and revivals until the modern day.
