Ryan,
Coincidentally, I was going to post a question to Columbia record
enthusiasts...
I found a 12" one sided Columbia record which has a picture of Kaiser Wilhelm
II on the label, with the phrases "Gruss an den Kaiser" - (Greetings to the
Emperor) and "Gott mit uns" - (God with us). The number is 59408 - last patent
date is Nov. 30, 1909 and the title is: "Dem Deutschen Kaiser Gewidmet Von Dem
Mozart-Verein in New York" - (Dedicated to the German Emperor Of The Mozart
Club in New York). The label is a very detailed and attractive one and the
record was made in the US - I can provide pics if necessary. Do you have any
information regarding this special edition record? If not, does anyone else
have any info to shed some light on this?
