For posterity -- a Blue Amberol of Rigoletto by American Symphony Orchestra for only $239.99 (20% off the list price!), plus $18.90 shipping. Plus sales tax in most states. Such a deal.

Because those of us who are really opera fans are interested in a mediocre instrumental medley of music from Rigoletto? I know, it is typical of the period, but…

It is not even the complete recording, which was issued on two cylinders BA3508 and 3509.
I cannot remember what I paid for my copies, but they were part of a job lot and would not have been expensive.
Despite being a serious collector of "real" operatic records, I find these cylinders pleasant to listen to.
