Thank you for the numbers. With it I was able to find "The Conundrum" in the ledgers.transformingArt wrote: The information on the dead wax area reads; "09225", "25673r (or f?)".
The mx. actually is z5673f. It was recorded by Will Gaisberg on November 2, 1911 in London. Performers are: Thorpe Bates, Joseph Cheetham and Harry Fay, accompanied by an unnamed orchestra. In fact there are four titles which are identical to those posted on youtube: Because, Ho jolly Jenkin, I want to sing in opera, Grizzly bear rag.
Gaisberg recorded two takes, but only the second was issued under cat. no. 09255. Verily, it was a bad joke to combine it with the Gas shell bombardment.
