The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I received a small stack of Edison records with the purchase of my Edison A250 and quite a few are missing labels. I figured out how to make my own labels by searching the internet for the songs and using photoshop, but it isn't so easy with the songs that don't have a vocal performer. I created a mp3 recording of one of those songs that I quite like and uploaded it to drop box in the hope that someone might know who it is on the record. The song title would also be great. The mp3 recording is terrible, but please try and identify it. Thanks

Something like "Your lips tell me NO NO but their is YES YES in your Eyes."

Thanks a lot Larry! It's enough to help me find a label.

Isn't the index number stamped on the record? Usually you can see those when the label drops off. Too bad Edison didn't splurge and use some decent glue on those labels. Ha!

There's Yes! Yes! in Your Eyes is DD 51325-R by the Merry Sparklers. Flip is Lazy by Atlantic Dance Orch, written by Irving Berlin.

Here is another record I'm having trouble identifying. The title is "Say it with music", but without the label I can't identify the performer or the song on the B side which has no identification at all. Thanks for your attention.

Assuming this is a Diamond Disc, it's 50865 by Sam Lanin's Orch. The other side is June Moon, also by Lanin's Orch. This is a late 1921 release and was originally released on the first paper label, the one with white letters n a black background.

You can download searchable Excel databases of this info from the Truesound Transfers site. Just google it.
