Don't Forget The Salvation Army By Arthur Fields Played On Edison Fireside Cylinder Phonograph
Музыка
One of my favorite Edison Blue Amberol cylinders to play around the Holidays is #3796 "Don't Forget The Salvation Army" from 1919 by Arthur Fields and chorus (with Billy Murray!). Interestingly, the master used for this pressing includes an interesting and unusual anomaly. If you listen to the very beginning of the cylinder you can clearly hear the Edison recording engineer lower the studio recording assembly onto the blank master for a few seconds and then lift it for a few seconds yielding silence and then lower the recording assembly again for the actual recording. It's very unusual for this to have been transferred to this copy of the recording. Thanks for stopping in for a visit and I hope that you enjoy the video.

Thanks for sharing and the into info. I also have this cylinder. I remember the song being used as a TV ad for The Salvation Army in the late 50s, early 60s in the San Francisco Bay area! There were little, I think, soldiers, marching across the bottom of the screen.
Amazing sound quality for a 100 years old record.
What an amazing recording, so clear and crisp. Thank you for your introductory remarks. How interesting that the engineer took some time to activate the song. I'm sure that this recording sounds as good as it did the day the Edison company packaged it 101 years ago. None of my 2 minute Edison cylinders sound as clean.
Another piece of recording history there,including the bit at the start of this particular record,many thanks for sharing,and a very Merry Christmas and and even better 2021 to all...
A beautiful horn.
Wow ❤
