Very nice I tried to buy some Edison Christmas records but they went beyond my record budget especially since I have a lot of Christmas music on 78 and I am always looking for more and they tend to be more reasonable in price ie 2-3 bucks as opposed to 20-30 bucks a piece I know the Edisons are more rare and collectable but I tend to be tight with the money. I should have bought them when I had the chance years ago for pennies on the dollar. The only caveat is they will be more money next Christmas

The art is to remember buying them in spring or summer, when they are a lot cheaper than before Xmas. 8-)

Funny you posted this, because I've this set [RCA Victor MO 1077] Christmas Hymns and Carols sitting nearby.

Time to crack it open for a spin. I've never played it.

but I notice that not a lot of Christmas stuff comes up during the warmer months not at least from what I have seen unless it's in with a bunch of others like at a thrift I saw 2 copies of white Christmas 2 months ago for a buck at local thrift but you are right off season is the best time to buy but who wants to buy Christmas records during the 4th of July? he he :shock:

Hey folks,

I hope you like my selection for Christmas; O Tannenbaum on Edison Golguss Walze, no. 15354, sung by Carl Nebe and the Nebe Quartett. Played on my 1906 Home B.

Merry Christmas,
