Five Selections on Blue Amberol
« Thread Started on Oct 25, 2009, 9:38am »

Hello!

Here are some cylinders I picked up at the latest show in Wayne, NJ. I hope you enjoy them:

“Favorite Airs From The Mikado” (Edison Light Opera Co) BA 2179

These directly-recorded cylinders had a sound like no other contemporary method!

“Rigoletto Quartette” (Frank Croxton Quartette) BA 1528

I figure the bass and tenor are Frank Croxton and Reed Miller, but who knows the soprano and mezzo?

“La Marseillaise” (New York Military Band) BA 2439

This is loud, but with little distortion.

“Lucia Sextette” (Sodero’s Band) BA 2609

This is an early dubbed cylinder, but done very well in my opinion

“At Peace With The World-Waltz” (Jack Stillman’s Orch) BA 5177

http://www.box.net/shared/yxqz8kuiyt

This is a later dubbed cylinder, obviously done with less quality control. There’s quite a lot of distortion with this.

These were transferred using my John Petty electric pickup.

Enjoy!
