The only complete and fully detailed Edison Blue Amberol cylinderography, from the original Edison files!

This deluxe hardcover includes the complete American foreign-series issues, as well as private and special-use Blue Amberol cylinders.

You'll find much a wealth of information from the original Edison archival materials and the Edison National Historic Site database — much of it not previously accessible to the general public, and appearing in print here for the first time. Features include:

Recording and release dates from the Edison files, cash books, and catalogs
  Details on remakes, alternate versions, cancelled numbers, and direct- versus-dubbed recordings
     Disc takes used in the production of dubbed cylinders — most of them published here for the first time — plus data on the corresponding wax Amberol and Diamond Disc releases
       Private and special-use cylinders — including the Ediphone training records, Kinetophone motion-picture recordings, Panama-Pacific exhibit records, private issues for Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, and other rarities
      Personnel details from the Edison files — vocal group members, accompanists, band vocalists, conductors, arrangers, artist aliases, uncredited performers
     Composer, show, and films credits, plus medley contents
    Illustrated, footnoted introduction covering the Blue Amberol's history and production details, with user's guide
  Artist and title indexes, plus Diamond Disc and wax Amberol cross-indexes.
