Query on BA #3639

Post by Lucius1958 »

So: I recently posted on Dailymotion my copy of Blue Amberol #3639, "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning", by Arthur Fields.

I consulted the Edison Discs & Cylinders spreadsheet, and, to my dismay, I could not find this selection at all, despite using every trick I could think of.

Does anyone know the original recording date for this, and whether or not it was issued on Diamond Disc? And is there an updated version of the spreadsheet (as it appears to make Preview misbehave from time to time)?

I recently had the same problem, couldn't find some fairly common. BAs in the cylinder spreadsheet. By accident I did a search accross the whole file and there it was, in the DD spreadsheet listed under the DD re-issues. I assume it all started out as one big spreadsheet and later was split into two. That's when the re-issues got moved to the DD spreadsheet instead of being copied.

I actually was looking in the disc section of the spreadsheet....

It's not in the cylinder section, either.
