Hi folks. If anyone on the list has Dethlefson/Wile's Diamond Disc compendium, can someone tell me how many takes of Vernon Dalhart's "In The Baggage Coach Ahead" were issued? (My DD is 51557-R, mx 10315-B-1-5, and the BA I just received is 5011, with a tiny 5 immediately after "PATD.") These two recordings are obviously different takes, and if there are more out there, I'd love to find them as well. Lot of sentimental value associated with this song for me, in its (I assume) Edison-exclusive longer version (all the non-Edison 78's I have of Dalhart singing this song leave out whole verses).
Thanks in advance! Best to all, Robert
