Whassup 27th Feb 2022		Edison Diamond Disc Irving Kaufman - All The World Will Be Jealous Of Me / Chu Chin Chow (1917)	I think my date of 1917 may be incorrect going on the following information. A second major embossed label design, bearing four circumferential bands and the catalog number, was introduced in March 1919. This style was used for new releases and repressings (as needed) between March 1919 and December 1921.
Whassup 27th Feb 2022		Edison Diamond Disc Ernst Albert Couturier - The Rosary / A Dream (1924)	According to the following information, I’m thinking that this record was manufactured April, 1924. Paper labels were introduced in mid 1921 and used until Edison ceased record production in 1929. The first labels were printed on black paper and resembled the embossed "band" label design. These used the term "Edison Re-Creation" and were used for new releases only in 1921. They are scarce today. The second paper labels were on white paper and these are more commonly encountered. "Re-Creation" was also used on these labels, but only for records manufactured between December 19, 1921 and September 1, 1923. In January 1923, labels began using the term "Edison Record". For discs manufactured from September 1923 through June 1926, a pressing date code was applied to one side of the record. This usually appears above "EDISON" and represents the month of manufacture plus the last digit of the year of manufacture. Thus, September 1923 is "93" and December 1925 is "125" and so on. Again, this is not the recording date or the release date of the title, but the pressing date for each particular disc.
