Great information ! Thank you for what you say - I think that the Octagonal one you refer to is called 'Common Wealth'. Quite a nice sound to it. I haven't heard of a 'Fletcher' Soundbox before. Interesting.

@@thegramophoneroom Here's a Commonwealth gramophone, though not sporting an octagonal soundbox: ruclips.net/video/ZZHTz-wiIac/видео.htmlsi=I-1QgAUZdgoQzVpm They did make many models, guessing this small portable would be an entry level model. My Fletcher soundbox has a baffle plate behind the diaphragm, with six tiny concentric holes. Surprisingly, this doesn't reduce the volume & its sound is excellent. Correction: It's hexagonal, not octagonal

Thanks very much for the very interesting information. Billy Williams is one of my very favourite performers.

@@thegramophoneroom I like him too & have posted several of his records. A highly prolific recorder in his sadly short life 1877-1915. There's a short Wikipedia article on him giving some bio info.

I didn't know that. Very interesting indeed. Thank you.

Now, thats a long time ago !

Thank you ! Interesting information.

I like this one too. For me, nice to wake up to in the morning and have a first coffee.

Great memories ! Thanks very much for mentioning this.

I didn't know that he sang with his sister. Very interesting indeed. This is one of my favourite songs and I have a few different versions to find and upload in the future. Thank you once again for your comment.

@@thegramophoneroom Know nothing of Nancy Charman's stage career, other than that they made a handful of records together over a short period. I believe this duo was curtailed when Nancy married & went to live in France. Another example of them performing together: ruclips.net/video/lXfZOuDx0oo/видео.htmlsi=hfVeHzGoP_ZpBx4Z

@@tiga4180 Great information and thanks for the link !

@@thegramophoneroom You're welcome. Look forward to a gramophonic chat anytime!

I agree and thank you.

Very interesting indeed ! I am glad that you mentioned the Winner record speed issue. Also, as you say, Stanley Kirkby is always good to listen to. Thank you very much for your comment.

@@thegramophoneroom You're welcome. As a general rule, records from the earliest times can be almost any speed, but many settled to be somewhere near 78 by the mid 1900's. Many Winners were around 78, but a significant minority are, in my observations fast. I posted a 'Jumbo' of C.1910 (Ring Down The Curtain by Arthur Blackwell), that recorded so fast that they needed to use an undersize label!

Glad that you like this one. Thanks for saying too !

Thank you so very much for your comment. I am really pleased that you like this one. 'Glad Rag Doll' is one of my favourite songs.

Thank you for your comment. I really do like your description.

Thank you so very much for your comment. It is really appreciated. I am glad you enjoy hearing them.

Thanks for your comment. Sounds like a perfect evening !

Thank you very much for your comment.

You must have seen so many changes. Time flies, or so 'they' say. I must say that I haven't heard the phrase 'Gee Whiz' since I was a young boy. It is very good to hear it again. Thank you very much for leaving your comment.

Yep; like 40 years ago!

It is my pleasure. Thank you very much for your comment, it is really appreciated.

Once again, thank you for providing the information.

You're VERY welcome!

Very interesting. Thank you very much for the information.

My pleasure!

Hello there. It looks likely that the record was released during 1922. The original recording may have been earlier.

Very interesting. Thanks for the information.

Надеюсь, тебе это понравится. Это необычно. 🙂

Thank you for your comment. I am glad that you like it. Much more to come in the future !

Very glad you liked it. I like it too !

It is a lovely song, as you say. One of my favourites. Unfortunately I don't know where a .wav can be found.

Very pleased to know that you enjoyed this. Many more 78 records yet to come. Thank you.
