You might also find this of interest:

Four pre-Victor, pre-Met, and therefore pre-1903 Carusos. Although the dating might be open to controversy, Everest Records, in the liner notes for its reissue on long-play disc 3382, gives the years 1900 and 1901 for these recordings, which are described as the very first that Caruso made; they include both songs and operatic arias.
Numbers 1 through 3 are AICC and Pathé cylinders and discs; 4 is a Zonofono [Zonophone] recording. Each is announced, a custom that cylinders, with no place for a label, necessitated, and was carried over into disc manufacture.
1) 'Tu Non Mi Vuoi Piu Ben', by F. Carbonetti & A. Pini-Corsi;
2) 'E lucevan le stelle', from Tosca, by Puccini;
3) 'Qui sotto it ciel', from Gli Ugonotti [Les Huguenots], by Meyerbeer;
4) 'Un Bacio Ancora', by Rocco Trimarchi.
The visual is Caruso, by Caruso. A caricaturist who enjoyed sketching his friends, Caruso here turned the pen on himself.

Re: Caruso cylinders
It's a vexed question. I take Bolig ("Caruso Records", Mainspring Press, 2002) as the authority I refer to. He believes the Milan G&T's were the first, with the Anglo Italian Commerce Company recording in 1903, and asserts that the Pathé's were dubbed from the AICC cylinders, if I recollect correctly. I have some ICC 78's that say the originate from cylinders.

Re: Caruso cylinders
I agree about Bolig, he certainly is the authority on Caruso. I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon in his presence a few years ago listening to and talking 78s and many things "Victor" in general. He's a really great guy.Nat wrote:It's a vexed question.

I think the dubbed 78s from Pathé cylinders you may be thinking of are those on the "Collector's Record Shop" label. IRCC did reissue just one Caruso, but it was not a dub, it was a direct press from an unissued take of "O Soave Fanciulla" with Farrar. HMV Also reissued this same side later in the Mauve AGSB series along with many other Carusos in both this and the white label VA and VB "Archive" series.
Hope this helps a bit!
