I find the earlier acoustically recorded records (like this one) seem to sound better than many of the later acoustic recordings. Of course, the greatest improvement in sound quality, was when electric recordings came out in the mid 1920's. Very nice recording, thanks for sharing it with us.
It's just amazing when you find that kind of treasure! For 112 years it's floated around out there and never been damaged! 🤯 Pretty song on the second side. 😊❤
It's incredible how we're able to hear this in more detail than the they could back then. Usually older records tend to sound worse on modern equipment due to how sensitive the pickup is, but when a record is unworn like this it's incredible. I would definitely only use fibre needles if playing it on an acoustic machine.
Frank Croxton has the authoritative voice for this record. Although I do like Frank C Stanley's Columbia Double Disc Record. "Double the value as plain as daylight"!
I picked up a copy of this a long time ago. One of the fun things about it is the style of speaking, excessively noble and formal. Imagine a TV ad for an embarrassing product in which the announcer talks like that.
Acquired a 4 78 album from the 40s with its cellophane raper still intact. Opened it and played them, despite being pristine still a lot of surface noise.
Why not take it to a recording studio and have them play it once to record it all, then put it away for posterity's sake? Then you'll have a good clear sound to play over and over again and enjoy the purer sound in your lifetime instead of depriving yourself of the privilege, otherwise you'll just be probably leaving it to a museum who'll never play it ever, what a waste! after all, one play isn't going to make any difference and the voice on it did say in the description that it would outwear all other records.
When our digital files is gone this will still be there. The danger of losing digital material is underestimated. Thank you, very interesting upload!

My uncle gave me 80 78 RPM records he found in a attic back in the 1970s , they were all brand new and shiny

Such a cool thought. Voices of people who are definitely deceased now forever available to be played

I saw some like that come to recycling but must be shredded
How many 🎤 microphone and what kind of mixing board
What a lovelt aong on rge flip side. Thanks for uploading.
I don't know if they issued records like this in the UK, where I am front.
I've got all three Columbia promotional records (1910--1913-1923), all mint. I think they gave them away to customers who bought a grafanola.
Nice! All the ones i have found in the past were in pretty well played condition.

I already did a digital transfer of both sides.
