I have a "catalogue of first series (brown wax) Edison Bell two minute cylinder phonograph records", 1896-1902, by Sydney Carter, and published by CLPGS in 1972, which lists "A Thin Horse" (4032) under speaches, recitations etc, and "Casey At The Dentist" (4092) under comic Irish dialogues, but there doesn't seem to be a House of Commons title listed anywhere.
There are quite a few gaps in this numerical list, so I don't know if these gaps indicate record numbers that were never released, or simply unknown titles at the time the catalogue was printed?
I don't know if this list is still available through CLPGS either.
Do you have the record number for the Casey departing to take his seat in the House of Commons cylinder?
The box it is in says 4092 but it’s possible that the dentist one and the commons one had their lid switched, so it might be 4096, I can’t remember where he said he was departing from, I shall have to play it again and find out

Thank you.
Actually I misquoted the record title for 4092.
Casey at the dentist is listed as 4095.
4092 according to the list is "Casey leaving Drogheda".
4096 is apparently "Casey on love".
That's a fantastic haul of cylinders btw.
Congratulations.
What colour is the Lambert/EB indestructible cylinder?

I shall try to record them at some stage
Thanks, the Blue Amberols seem neither here no there besides a few fox trots, but there’s some good music in with the 2 minutes
It’s just black, nothing too special but it later turned out to have a hairline split (there was another indestructible called “Mary was a housemaid” by SH Dudley which was totally split apart, I may be able to splice it back together and play it, the Auction Sale indestructible I have repaired and re-enforced, so it should be playable though I’m slightly hesitant to do so, though I have plans to mould and duplicate it as I rather want to listen to it

I'm not, by any means, a cylinder aficionado, but I do love seeing them going to the right people! Congrats!
