Rex 5146 - better images added, especially of A-side, but maybe not of B-side.

The artist on this record may be Fred Van Eps but I haven't found any way to trace it.

Comment by xiphophilos:

Both songs are from 1914, so the record is probably from the same year.

Per DAHR, "Thanks For The Lobster" was recorded by banjo player Fred Van Eps in February 1914 for Victor but rejected and in July 1914 with the Van Eps Banjo Orchestra and released on Columbia A1593. The Victor Military Band recorded the same title a few days after Van Eps, on February 10, 1914, and released it on Victor 17550.
