Default Early full frequency range record 78 rpm

I am interested in dance band music of the 1930's. I have found uploads on youtube of American Brunswick recordings with recording date given as 1936


1936 Jimmie Grier - Where There’s You There’s Me (Redd Harper, vocal)


Brunswick 7679




They are not the usual UK style labels but say made in USA and have "Full Frequency Recording" banner at the top of the label. It was my understanding that Decca was the first company to market FFRR records from about 1945 / 1946.

Anybody know anything about the earlier Brunswick reference?

FFRR stands for Full Frequency Range Recording

The only picture I can find of a Brunswick 78 with any like "Full Frequency" actually reads "Full Range Recording". There was a commercial link between Brunswick and British Decca from 1932 onward when the original Brunswick company went bankrupt and Decca acquired their British operation. The link carried on until at least the 1950s when Brunswick LPs were issued by Decca.
