The Peerless Quartet, (known as the Columbia Quartet prior to 1906), was a vocal group from the acoustic era. It was organized in 1904 as the Columbia Quartet. It remained active until 1928 and had many changes of personnel during that time, the one constant being Henry Burr. The group made hundreds of recordings between 1904-1928, including popular versions of hits such as Sweet Adeline, By the Light of the Silvery Moon, Let Me Call You Sweetheart, and I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl That Married Dear Old Dad.

These are old acoustic recordings and won't have the good fidelity that an electric recording would have. This is about as good as they will sound.

Great! Nice to finally see a photo of Arthur Collins. He is recorded on dozens, perhaps hundreds of Edison cylinder recordings. I have a few of them. "The Preacher and the Bear" is a memorable recording by Collins.

Arthur Collins recorded more records than I think you and I could count. He made tons with Byron Harlan, solo and in quartets. He must have had a very busy life!
