JOSIE MILES Sings "Sweet Man Joe" Blues On Edison Diamond Disc Record

[opradan43]

Terrific record. Did not know Bubber Miley ever made an Edison.

Early DD phono.....Is it one of the ones that Brunswick built for Edison?

[MrXnews]

Wow. This is one of the best blues records on Edison and one of the best of Bubber Miley. This is the probably the best version of this song issued.

Can I find this on eBay??

[MusicBoxBoy]

Thanks for your comments. Not sure what you are referring to here but if you are inquiring whether you might find a copy of this Edison record for sale on eBay I would say that anything is possible. Expect to pay a premium price for it If you are competing with others who also see it and recognize its historical significance on Edison and general desirability of the record.

You should put the needle on the 1st groove and not the edge!

After collecting vintage phonographs and vintage disc and cylinder records for more than 20 years I think I know how to play an Edison Diamond Disc record by now. The diamond stylus was lowered on the record exactly where I wanted it and exactly where the manufacturer recommended that it be lowered which is on the "skating surface" near the outer rim of the record. I have more that 7,000 Edison Diamond Discs in my collection and have never damaged a single one. Thank you for visiting.

Very unusual to hear such hard core blues on an Edison Diamond Disc. I see that Edison wasted no time in affixing a red star to this one--a fate shared by all the blues records on DD.
