Recorded in New York March 28, 1929. Released on Edison Blue Amberol cylinder in June 1929, one of the very last cylinders to be issued and one of the very last records to be issued by the Edison company before they ceased the record business in October 1929.

  • What a glorious machine!

    My goodness does that sound amazing!

    Billy Murray never sounded better!

  • @MultiMartiniman Thank you MMM. It is one of my favorite machines, in my home office so I have easy access to it!

  • Thank you, It's an Amberola 1B.

  • Bruce,

    You did a stellar job recording this! What model of Edison Ambrola are you playing this on?

    Bruce

  • @fortbruce It's an Amberola 1B. It is the best sounding machine for playing blue amberols without a doubt.

  • Norman, this is incredible. It's quite an accomplishment to re-create a cylinder and maintain excellent sound quality. Nice shade of blue, too.

  • @EdisonSquirrel Rocky, I can't claim any credit. As previously mentioned, I only made the video with Norman's permission. He has the records for sale. The link to his website is at the end of the video. Bruce

  • Astonishingly good sound,,,,from the cylinder and the Amberola. I'm really impressed. Thanks for this video.

  • Very nice Cylinder, I had recorded a short version, on two minute electrically in 2000. I don't have the money to do what I would like to do with my cylinders like you do, kind of a black sheep in the wierd world of Phonograph collectors. I could make four minute, If I could have four min cutters made.

  • What a feat berlin phonograph works has pulled off!

    And nice sound from your machine. The song is one I don't know, and it's always a treat to hear a "new" Billy Murray record. It's a little "old-fashioned" for 1929, which was consistent with the Edison style, but they couldn't completely keep the jazz out. That band is blowing pretty hot. *Really* hot for an Edison record...

  • @ThePhonoJack PhonoJack, I can't claim any of the credit. I bought the record from Norman and asked him if it was okay to make a video of it and post it. All the credit needs to be communicated directly to him! Bruce
