Description
I offer up for sale, this 1904 7" BROWN BERLINER One Sided CONCERT RECORD # 1101 The Arkansaw Traveler - Len Spencer (and George Schweinfest).
Brown shellac, 78 rpm, mono, coarse groove, lateral cut, one-sided Berliner Concert Record circa 1904.
In about 1904, a few 7-inch records were released with Concert labels that were usually reserved for 10-inch discs. The "sunken" labels on the Concert Records were brown with gold edging and gold print. On the upper half of the label was the HMV symbol, above which was a note indicating that the record was pressed from a Victor recording for sale and use in Canada only. On the right of the centre hole was the word "Concert" and "Record" to the left. Under the title, performer, and Canadian issue number was printed the company name.
This auction is for Berliner 7 "Concert Record #1101 The Arkansaw Traveler by Len Spencer [and George Schweinfest], circa 1904. Vaudeville style comic sketches - descriptive. The "Arkansaw Traveler", combines clever turns of phrase, ironic elocutionary delivery, sound effects and music to create colorful dialogues featuring itinerant Southerners, auctioneers, circus barkers, and Irish, Jewish or Black Americans.
Condition - this record is 115+ yrs old - shows it's age but plays thru and you can make out the vaudeville sketches - a couple of small chips near the label do not affect playback
