Edison
Two-Minute and
Concert Cylinders
American Series, 1897–1912
By
Allan Sutton
Winner, ARSC 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award
The first and only Edison two-minute and Concert cylinder reference compiled from the original company documentation (including factory plating ledgers, studio cash books, remake and deletion notices, catalogs, supplements, and house publications), supplemented by first-hand inspection of the original cylinders.
Edison two-minute cylinders were frequently remade, but you won't find that information in previously published guides. This new volume shows all issued versions — even those from masters supplied by Walcutt & Leeds during 1897–1898. Listings include details for each version (such as changes in artists, accompaniments, and spoken announcements) that help to distinguish often-rare original editions from the more common later remakes.
Plating dates for brown-wax pantograph masters and early Gold Moulded masters (which provide valuable clues to the long-lost recording dates) and other details long hidden away in the Edison archives, are published here for the first time.
All American-catalog issues from 1897 through 1912 (two-minute # 1 – 10575), plus the Concert and Grand Opera series, are covered. Features include:
Release dates for all versions of every number, plus deletion dates where known7"
