The year 1919 was a very busy year for Gellin & Borgstrøm. They toured constantly, not only in Denmark, but in many other european countries. In addition to the concerts they made numerous recordings throughout 1919. Most of their recordings were done in Berlin, Germany.
Discography -- The exact number of recordings of any one year is not known. I have only listed the ones for which I have all the facts, such as Title, Performer(s), Date of recording, and Label. For more than 100 recordings I have not established the dates of the recordings, as of yet. A complete list (including composers/arrangers) will be available at the end, with or without dates.

År 1919 var et meget travlt år for Gellin & Borgstrøm. De turnerede konstant, ikke kun i Danmark, men også i mange andre lande i Europa. Ud over koncerterne lavede de adskillige optagelser i hele 1919. De fleste af deres optagelser blev foretaget i Berlin, Tyskland.
Diskografi - Det nøjagtige antal optagelser i et år er ikke kendt. Jeg har kun nævnt dem, som jeg har alle fakta for, såsom titel, performer (r), dato for optagelse og label. I mere end 100 optagelser har jeg endnu ikke fastlagt datoerne for optagelserne. En komplet liste (inklusive komponister / arrangører) vil være tilgængelig i slutningen, med eller uden datoer.

The two excellent Accordion players, Herman Gellin and Ernst Borgstrøm, who have had much success during their performance at Cirkus, were out on Langelinie harbour yesterday with their automobile and a photographer. When the photos was to be taken, English sailors gathered from the ships from the harbour around the car and encouraged them to play. After a short refusal, they sat up on the hood and played several numbers.
Gradually, a very large crowd gathered around accordionists, who finally played the English national anthem, which made the hats come off the heads of the sailors. Afterwards, the sailors bombarded the car with cigarettes.
Suddenly someone said the King was here. And really, in the midst of crowds, the King and Prince Valdemar were amused by the impromptu performance. As soon as the accordion players learned what a high audience was present, they played "Kong Christian stod ved høje Mast" (Danish national anthem). The king nodded smiling and clearly said Thank you. Later, the accordion players were invited aboard the English ships.
