Lucette KORSOFF, soprano Purple IRCC 3100 (Patti label)

$

28

This lot offers soprano, LUCETTE KORSOFF, (mistakenly labelled as by soprano, ADELINA PATTI), performing Manon Lescaut: Eclat de rive (Bourbonnaise) transcribed from Edison Diamond Disc #82009 NOT from a cylinder recorded on June 15, 1895  as stated on the label and  baritone, VICTOR MAUREL performing L'Heure Exquise (Hahn) recorded in 1903 on Purple IRCC #3100.  The disc is in amazing condition with no cracks, needle digs, heavy scratches or heavy surface wear.  The disc looks as though it were pressed yesterday!  This was the "infamous" IRCC release wherein the commercial Edison Korsoff disc was preceeded by a dubbed announcement and concluded with applause.  These International Record Collectors' Club issues are sought-after by collectors today.
