'Over the waves waltz'--'Vienna Orchestra' (1902).

Post by Viva-Tonal »

Most very likely Prince's Band. The first-ever 'announced' record I ever saw or heard, which I'd found at a small antique store in Manhattan, Kansas in 1975. (Which means I've had this since I was 11 years old!)

I wonder if all pressings of this take 3 (10") have the stamped patent date in the dead wax? 637 originally would have been recorded early in 1902.

The label, close up (and this one you can click on to hear this record):

Here's the price and legal notice embedded into the back side of the disc:

Transferred at 75.78 rpm. Enjoy!
