Ah: the BZH. I was given one (which had belonged to his family) by my former therapist. He later gave me a very nice Edison Standard B (ITC version, with original horn), from the same family cache,
I've never seen a Lambert that late! Looks so similar to an indestructible at that point, and that number (589) is right about where indestructibles pick up.
Vogue Records were quite the novelty. The company was only around for a year or two. The problem they had was they couldn't get any major bands or vocalists to sign on because of contract limitations. The ones they did get were between contracts. They do still sound good but be careful playing them on older equipment. Treat them like regular vinyl.
Great presentation as usual you have great knowledge Shawn can i ask you Q i have Let Us Not Forget 3756 blue Amberol Cylinder it's da long version with matching lid in superb condition can you tell me Edison made da short version when was longer version made is my Cylinder rare would you have any idea of value of it thanks very much great video 😀👍
Congrats on your Let Us Not forget. On the long version, there is 2 minutes of Edison speaking, and then the Start Spangled Banner is played. On the shorter version, only Edison is speaking and the Star Spangled Banner is omitted. Both versions were released on Edison Blue Amberol cylinders. Thanks for watching my videos!
Pirating records even in the 1900’s. I have heard of the talk o phone, in one of my books on antique phonographs, by George F. Paul and Tim Fabrizio. Great video.
You have helped the phonograph community in many ways. Your series on the 5000 series in particular. This video is another example. I recently purchased one of these incredible phonographs and had it serviced. In this video, I was able to view the gears on both sides and confirm that they had been re-assembled correctly. Once again, thank you.
S.S. Kresge company was the "father" of Kmart! My father worked at an S.S. Kresge store in the 1950s, I worked at a Kmart in the 1970s and again in the 2010s. My mother worked for Sears, Roebuck and Company from the 1950s until the 1980s. It was years after my mother passed that Sears & Kmart merged, Linking all three historic names. Small world indeed.
