The label was introduced by Carl Lindström group in 1907 in Germany for issuing cheap records from “expensive” masters of Fonotipia, Odeon, Beka, Favorite and several others. Soon after, in 1908, the British branch was established as well. The label was discontinued in Germany around 1910, where it was replaced by blue "Odeon" which even continued Jumbo's numerical series. In UK the Jumbo label survived beyond 1910; even after the Great War broke out in 1914 the British branch continued to press their discs during certain period of time. After the war Lindström group did not try to revive their old labels in Britain and started the new ones instead, so in 1919 the label name was changed to “Venus Record”.
The Jumbo records were imported into Russia during 1910 to 1913 years. The company representative was someone Severin.
