Moldy Brown Wax Cylinder Record

Post by Edisonfan »

So, I found a Columbia Brown Wax Cylinder Record in my collection, that got moldy. :( The title is Just When the sun went down. If anyone knows, where I could find a copy, I would appreciate it.

Was it moldy when you purchased it?

There was a song titled "Just As The Sun Went Down" could yours be that title?
Just a thought.

I’m not sure? I threw the record away because it also had a hairline fracture.

I have visited that site. Nice collection, prices are a bit on the high side.

Although I shouldn’t complain! I did spend $75.00 on a Royal Purple cylinder record.

There is a great recording of Columbia #7184 Just As The Sun Went Down by J W Meyers on the UC Santa Barbara website. Here is a link to it. Maybe you could shave you cylinder and record the one from UCSB back on to it.

Thank you Rich, but I threw the cylinder away as it had a crack running the length of the cylinder. - Paul
