It is worth noting that The Mocking Bird is a Whistling Novelty.

As may be seen from the illustrated labels, this particular disc was printed at least twice, using two different label designs. The earlier version would be the B-side label, which fills in the top portion of the shield with gold, leaving a black logo showing through. The A-side version outlines the top portion in gold and switches to a gold logo against a backdrop of black.

It is worth noting that tboth Rust in the Complete Entertainment Discography 2d Ed. and the Online Discographical Project list a different disc under Emerson 7113. I have not seen a copy of the proposed alternate, so I can only report the conflict. The proposed alternate is If I Only Knew Where I Stood With You b/w There's Someone More Lonesome Than you, both by Sam Ash and dated to c. Dec. 1916.

The original version of this disc, identifiable by the NYC Harbor scene label was credited to the Metropolitan Military Band on both sides and had no comp credits on either side. The illustrated version retains the Statue of Liberty on the left hand side, but deletes a colorful steamship and tug. It also provides the previously omitted identity of the A side composer. The matrix numgbers are unchanged.

Per Allan Sutton's Emerson Records discography, this was originally released in January, 1921 and relisted in July, 1925 which probably explains the variant labels.

89mm (3.5039"). Would have been 89.5mm (3.5236") before pressing, where it shrunk by about 0.6%, or 0.5mm.
