This is taken from a one-sided shellac record, pre-1920 I guess. It has the same serial number (2-022016) as a later release, but it says "Chaliapine-Koenemann Revised by Charles J Gaisberg" rather than revised by "Warren-Forster" as the 1921 version does.
I could not record the last few seconds as the shellac is blistered.
I have the original sleeve which indicates that the record was bought at Binns, a department store in Middlesbrough.
The song was played on a usb keyboard, and processed with Audacity 1.3 on a PClinuxOS 2009 system.
It's a 1922 recording.
