OUR RECORDS IN SWEDEN
Importations From America Small But Opportunity
Is Considerable, Says Consul at Stockholm.
Phonographs and records sold in the Swedish mar-
ket come largely from Germany and England, there
being comparatively small importations from the
United States, says Consul Walter A. Leonard, Stock-
holm, in a report to the State Department.
Germany and England have found it practicable to
arrange for Swedish musical artists to visit Berlin,
London, or other centers, where records are made
and later sold in Sweden. Also, wax impressions are
made in Sweden and sent to England or Germany for
reproduction on permanent records, which in turn
are then placed on the Swedish market. These
methods by foreign firms of obtaining records of
Swedish artists have enabled them to gain a strong
foothold in the local market, and have also given
them the advantage in extending trade in records
by foreign artists.
Statistics for the past two years indicate that
approximately a million crowns ($268,000) worth of
phonographs and records have been imported into
Sweden annually, Germany having supplied more
than 50 per cent, and England about 30 per cent, the
remaining 20 per cent having been credited to Den-
mark and the United States. The share credited to
the United States was less than $4,000 in 1921 and
only $2,500 in 1922. The imports of American-made
phonographs and records was larger than these fig-
ures indicate, due to transhipments over England and
Denmark. However, local dealers estimate that less
than 10 per cent of the phonographs and records sold
in Sweden are of American make.
