Wanted to Buy... Edison Amberol 4 minute black wax cylinder record #473 Titled : My South Polar Expedition

Looks like The Amberol Gods are not kind to me on this one.

Well, it’s quite rare and extremely expensive. Most of us don’t have a spare lying around. I have a disk version of it, and it’s actually only mildly interesting.

It’s probably up on YouTube as well as various other online sources, so you can check it out before spending big bucks to acquire a copy someday.

Yes I've heard it and I know it's expensive but I still would love to possess a physical copy on cylinder. I'm still hopeful someone will want to sell one and I'm always looking elsewhere.

P.S..
I sure wouldn't handle it like Donna Reed is!

Yes! Good enough for now. I had no idea. Thanks.

is that a two-minute or a four-minute?
