Recently, I purchased a vintage
Linguaphone German course from a vendor on EBay. What surprised me about this particular edition, is that the course is entitled "
Sonodisc German Course", the cover of the course books identify the publisher as "
Interlang Ltd", and
the name "Linguaphone" does not appear anywhere in the books or on the accompanying 45 rpm vinyl records. I have compared the two course books to the (undated) Linguaphone German course that seems to have been published circa 1950-1955 and, save for a few minor differences, the texts are identical. My searches of the Internet have not yielded any information linking this publisher to the Linguaphone courses. Would anyone happen to know what this was? Was this course was a licensed copy of the original? Was this an effort to re-brand the Linguaphone courses? Was it an unlicensed copy? I would include photos, but the
"insert image" function does not work for me. In the absence of photos, I have provided a LINK to a similar offer on EBay:

1) typos, formatting, link.
2) image of "Sonodisc" course
