Here is a REAL favorite Edison Diamond Disc record from my collection. This is the delightful and very difficult to find late electrically recorded Edison record, "I'm Wild About Horns On Automobiles (That Go Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta)" by Jack Dalton and The 7 Blue Babies. Jack Dalton is, of course, Jack Kaufman who recorded under both names for Edison. Gosh, I searched for so many years before finding this example in near pristine condition. This record definitely did not sell very well probably because of two reasons. Edison records were relatively very expensive and the record buying public in 1928 was becoming more interested in radio entertainment which was free. The second reason is that this record was likely not popular with the ladies of the late 1920's who would consider it rubbish. The ladies back then, as today, would still have a good deal of impact on what comes into the home, right guys? Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this delightful recording and, as always, I thank you for stopping in for a visit.
