A.k.a. Premier Quartet Premier-American Quartet

Between 1898-1904 "American Quartet" was an alias for Haydn Quartet (aka Edison Male Quartet). This group released recordings under this pseudonym on many labels, including E. Berliner's Gramophone, Victor, Lambert Indestructible Record, Improved Gram-O-Phone Record and probably others. From 1909 onwards this was the name of an actual group that featured Billy Murray as lead tenor. This group was also known as the Premier Quartet and Premier-American Quartet.
