GOLDEN WEDDING - EDISON BLUE AMBEROL CYLINDER RECORD

Recorded 1905 by ADA JONES & LEN SPENCER for EDISON GOLD MOLDED brown wax cylinder records. Re-released by EDISON, in 1913 in this format, as BLUE AMBEROL celluloid cylinder # 1871. Celluloid proved to be a more permanent way of preserving the sound than the previous wax cylinders. This song was the first "hit" recording for ADA JONES. I filmed this video as the cylinder record was being played on my EDISON AMBEROLA 50 phonograph with a nickel plated reproducer.

Dear laceup 1967. Because of the nickel plated reproducer that was an expensive option for the first couple of years on the Amberola 50 my machine sounds clearer than if this cylinder were to be played with the usual pot metal reproducers which was the standard equipment on Amberola 50s or Amberola 30s. Thank You for the nice comment.

Yes, the early cylinders had rather loud surface noise. This has only slight steady scratch.
