FOR SALE: 2 Caruso "Bi-Acoustic" Records + Original Ad $75

Post by gramophone-georg »

Original Issue Caruso "Bi- Acoustic" re- recordings with original 1932 "Curtain" labels and an original framed ad. "Bi- Acoustic" is basically what would be called a dub and a remix... Caruso's voice was isolated from his original recordings, "enhanced", and the background accompaniment filled in by the Victor Orchestra. It was a good effort for a first attempt given the limitations of the period. Original "curtain" labels are scarce. I'm including an original framed magazine ad for #7720

7720- Vesti La Giubba / Marta- M'appari E
7770- Celeste Aida / Je crois entendre encore E+ slight writing on label in very faint grease pencil A

Edit: Guess I may have misinterpreted the meaning of "Bi Acoustic" but I think you get the idea.
