Busy-Bee was an American early record label of the 1900s, who issued both cylinders and discs, often (but not always) with content licensed from other labels.[1]Their cylinders could only be played on special Busy-Bee players. A 1906 cylinder catalog shows artists including Gilmore's Band, Billy Murray, Arthur Collins, Bob Roberts, and Ada Jones.
United Records operated in the years before World War I. The label was owned by the United Talking Machine Company of Chicago, Illinois, which produced the double-sided lateral cut disc records with an unusually large spindle hole (just slightly smaller than that used by the 45rpm records that appeared after World War II), and wind-up phonographs with large spindles for playing the records.
Most of the masters for United Records were recorded by Columbia Records. The name "United" has been used by other record companies, most notably one that operated in Chicago in the 1950s.
