The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Edison DD # 52559. Needle cut, sindle sided, the song you want, Kansas City Kitty.
The quality is good and it plays surprisingly loud and clear.
This was a seriously intense and expensive creation, so it will take at least 15 sales to get the next title produced.
The video below is a copy being played on my (upgraded) Standard Talking Machine.
$20 each + $5 shipping in the USA.

Here's another video of playing a short section on both a modern turntable and a Victrola VIII.

Is this from the original Needle Cut, or dubbed from an electric DD? The description (and the label in the video) confused me a bit.

If the former, I'm definitely in for a copy.

After looking at it a bit, it's obvious that this is a needle-cut 78, from N823, not a DD despite the DD label. The label even says Needle-Cut. Great work! Kansas City Kitty is a very popular Edison record with Billy Murray according to collector friends of mine. If you don't get 15 sales here, are you going to put it on Ebay also?

I will take one. Sending PM

I'll take a copy. PM sent

Thank you everyone!
This was remastered from a clean DD and (laterally) cut to a new master, then molded. That's why this was such a large undertaking.
Playing it on the "Standard" doesn't do it justice. I'll try to upload a clip of it on an electric turntable later today.

I'll take one please!

Would you happen to own lathe equipment? Just wondering.
