SOLD. I'm Getting Ready for my Mother In Law 2277, $12

Post by VanEpsFan1914 »

Here's a copy of "I'm Getting Ready For my Mother-In-Law," as sung by Ed Meeker in 1914. It is a re-release of wax Amberol 254.

As you can see in the pictures it has a blue labeled box, and the cylinder itself is in excellent condition. It plays great on both my Amberola 30 and my Standard E. (If you want to hear the E for yourself it is also for sale.) ;)

I don't know if it's a dub from Disc or not. It sure does sound like a direct recording.

Anyway, it's up for sale. If you want some more cylinders, let me know.
Oh, and the Amberola in the pictures is not included, sorry! LOL

First one to PM wins.

Charles

With a catalog number under 2500, it's certainly a direct recording.

Thanks for the info! I didn't know what the cutoff number was. It certainly sounds like a direct one all right.

Yup direct recording for sure, re-release of the wax Amberol recorded in 1909. :D

Record is SOLD to a Forum friend with a similarly twisted sense of humor! :twisted:

I bet his family will love that at the next big gathering.

I used to have the 2 minute version by Bob Roberts. Still one of my favorite recordings ever
