I have the 1904 Victor release of Stars and Stripes Forever by Sousa's band all cued up on my Victor III and ready to go!

A wonderful 4th to all!

And some more Sousa on the Amberola III.

"Semper Fidelis" Recorded for release on wax Amberol in 1909 and re-released on Blue Amberol more than 10 years later in August 1920.

Nice Bill! Perhaps "lesser known" but I believe still pretty popular in its day. I've got "Invincible Eagle" on Diamond Disc 50853 recorded in 1917. it was also released on BA 3271. There's also an early two minute wax recording of it on Edison and I'm pretty sure Victor, Columbia and other labels recorded it too. It's a great tune.
