I like this version by the Club de Vingt Orchestra. In my opinion they are the most distinctive and recognizable dance band that recorded for Edison in the early '20s.
Excellent sound quality, Zefren! That was a tough one, but it really shows Edison's superior acoustic recording results. Some DD collectors think the sound is better balanced than the electric issues at the end (me included) tho I no longer have a DD machine- I play 'em like you do.
@agfamatic91 - I've seen one of the DD machines that T. Edison used personally, and it was mounted in an open, simple cage frame. I think he would rest his teeth on the frame, as it was explained to me.
Well, it's usually said that Edison developed "his" recording process to suit his hearing, but he hated electric-playback machines because he had to blast the volume at terribly distorting levels. Also note the instrumentation on some DDs is a little sparse, and a lot of etched-label DDs have bad surfaces and weak volume. Thus, DDs have an overall unique tone and sound.
i have head storys that edisons hearing was so bad in the end that he had to put his teeth on the horn on his dimond disc phonograph to be anable to hear the record.

Wonderful record! It has a hint of Charleston in it too!
