If color choice is possible could you do splatter?

My pigment skills aren't that great. A mix of colors, yes, splatter, no.

Ps. This brings us up to 8.

I assume the sample discs are the Long Play (LP) records that can only be played with a phonograph having the LP gear mechanism and LP reproducer, correct?

Thanks,

No, these are standard-pitch Diamond Disc grooves, playable on any Edison disc machine.
There's at least one true Long-playing demo disc edition with five full tunes on each side.

Bob,

Thanks for the information. I wonder why Edison didin't produce more of these type of standard diamond groove records with multiple songs on a single side instead of the trying to pursue the LP diamond grooves and records...

Never mind, I just saw a video clip on line and noticed that the sampler record has snippets of each song instead of the entire songs. Now that makes sense. :D

As Bob mentioned, these play on standard DD machines. In the video in the first post you can see the sample disc playing on my perfectly boring B19 8-)

I'll be in touch with those interested in the next few days to get payment and shipping info. Thanks again to everyone who helped make this one happen!
