Edison Long Play side 10004-L

Post by pughphonos »

Another contribution for those who are curious about the Edison Long Play discs. See my You Tube descriptive portion for more information.

NOTE: the second and third pieces on this side are badly-scarred on my copy; but at least they play through (with a scraping sound) on my 1960s turntable.

Only extra comment I'll make here is that the first four Edison 10" records (10001, 10002, 10003, and 10004) were all comprised of recordings that had not made it to standard Diamond Disc; either because they were cut especially for the Long Play discs or were pulled from the vault. Only with 10005 did the Edison company start putting pieces on the Long Play discs that had also been released on standard Diamond Discs.
