It seems to be quite difficult to get EVDR's attention these days, apparently because they get too many emails. I sent them some information on a rather rare test tone Victor they don't have either, and the message just got lost in the crowd apparently.

Re: Victor 19621
All this talk about 19621, 19622 feels neglected!

Re: Victor 19621
Still no word from EDVR, but I did run across the following from Harry Sooy's Journal:
"March 6th, 1925; We kept constantly on the go with this electrical recording from February 9th to March 6th...Vocal Solos, Instrumental Solos, Vocal Duets, Symphony Orchestras, Dance Orchestras and a Mixed Chorus of 36 voices."
The excerpt originates from this site:
http://www.stokowski.org/1925%20First%2 ... elphia.htm
So, that mixed chorus of "36 voices" could very well be the 35 voices actually present for the 3/04/25, session for which I've tried to advocate, and which was apparently, in light of this information, a test? It might seem like a fool's errand at this point for the lack of response/interest this has generated.
The article mentions tests/recordings being made from Februry 9th onwards: too bad nothing else from February-early March is extant except for Victor 35753 and 19621.

Re: Victor 19621
Last year I picked up a little table model Harmony from a guy in a nearby town. During the course of conversation he mentioned that he had sold several records on eBay recently and was very surprised when one brought a significant amount of money. He then proceeded to describe the record. It was 19621.

Re: Victor 19621
Interesting.
I bought my copy in January buried amidst an eBay listing of ten religious records on Victor for less than $20. I'm quite grateful.
I wonder, likewise, what 19626 would go for.

He told me what it brought, but I can't remember exactly. Above $200 I think.Rastus10 wrote:Interesting.
