This is Hardy Williamson (tenor). Your particular cylinder is not listed in Allan Sutton's Edison Blue Amberol Records: A Discography (1912-1929) (Mainspring, 2005). I'm guessing that your cylinder was directly recorded years earlier, perhaps originally issued on a four-minute wax Amberol, as you indicated that it sounded so good (not dubbed?). I'm not certain because I don't have a complete listing of Edison four-minute wax Amberols to check, but Williamson's version was definitely not released on Blue Amberol in the U.S.; Vernon Dalhart sang it on BA 3333, dubbed from disc. It is also possible that he recorded it directly on Blue Amberol, but not released in the U.S.-Ryan _________________________________________________________________ Try Live.com - your fast, personalized homepage with all the things you care about in one place. http://www.live.com/getstarted From ediso...@verizon.net Fri Jul 21 09:38:04 2006 From: ediso...@verizon.net (Dan Kj) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:11:45 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] A Big Royal Purple Thank you References: <bay108-w12000c9420c666b6bfef3f7...@phx.gbl> Message-ID: <002501c6ace4$1a016da0$6700a...@new>
Recorded July, 1913 - in London, issued on British Blue Amberol 23145 . Like other 'Foreign' Edisons, it was readily available from West Orange, and I think this one was even listed in a Christmastime supplement. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Barna" <ryansrecor...@hotmail.com> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <phono-l@oldcrank.org> Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 1:27 AM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] A Big Royal Purple Thank you > This is Hardy Williamson (tenor).
