Sorry, Curt, but I'd have to agree with Doug on the rarity of this one. I've been rummaging through piles of Diamond Discs for a long time, and this is literally the only copy I've ever seen anywhere.
That comment was a joke... I agree on the rarity...

I guess nobody noticed the sarcasm font... :)

Maybe Brandon can get us one... or at least an appropriate emoji...

I said "sarchasm", and I meant "sarchasm". See, you don't get it either...

sar-chasm
(n.) the giant gulf between the sarcastic comment and the person who doesn't get it.

WHEREAS:

This record is a unique treasure, being an Edison "race" record of extreme rarity, and highly unlikely to be found in the wild; and that the community of collectors are exceedingly desirous to possess such a relic in one form or another;

BE IT HEREBY DECREED:

That whosoever shall purchase this recording, is immediately obliged to lend it to one Don Wilson, for purposes of making copies to the collecting public, that this treasure may be shared among them impartially.

To which we set our hand and seal, this 2nd day of May, in the year of our Lord, Two Thousand and Eighteen. :mrgreen:
