You are very welcome! I've always enjoyed this rendition of "Button Of Your Overcoat" over any other I've heard. It has a wonderful arrangement and Jack Parker's vocals on Edison records are always a pleasure. Thanks for your gracious comments!
That looks like a dance reproducer on that Edison, which could enhance the vocals too. I absolutely loved the song. And a very beautiful phonograph too. 😊 Thank you for sharing.
Sound quality is impressive. It always seems like it's the singers who suffer the most on these early records, with some lower frequencies missing. But this guy's voice sounds pretty natural!
That's quite a coincidence. My cat is cleaning right now....but he just likes to rub it in and give me that sassy cat look. He's well aware that I lack the flexibility to master his technique.
Where on EARTH do you find the discs and he machines? These is such a hoot. What a treat... Important song in the American Songbook IMHO... Great reproduction considering the time and the method. Thanks for putting this up. Great stuff!!
Edison finally started releasing lateral cut "electrical" recordings in the late summer of 1929, just before his company stopped producing commercial phonograph records (and the last of the "Blue Amberol" cylinders) on November 1, 1929.

For me this is the holy grail of Edison records. 20 years sounds about right. : (
It's actually the holy grail of blue amberols as well, one copy sold for over $3,000

Das klingt für eine Tiefenschrift Platte und einem Phonographen einfach super ! Danke ! LG

john king My cat just sits on my blanket on me trying to eat it but failing.
@DIYPhonophile Thanks so much for your gracious comments!
That sounds like an electric! Sounds very nice!
This machine plays very well. I've never seen a needle head that dropped vertically down like that before. Interesting.
It's a hill and dale recording.

Was this recorded acoustically or electric?
Eric Brown-Bey It is an electrically recorded record as it was recorded in 1929 and Edison stated electrically recording in 1926
