Comments and Reviews


BigBadBluesMan 8th Mar 2017



xiphophilos 22nd Oct 2015		The label has a diameter of a tiny bit more than 10.3 cm, so your number of 4.0625 inches (10.31875 cm) sounds about right. Mind you, I measured this with an old wooden ruler, so my measurements are more guestimates than scientifically exact measurements. Anyway, from one of your comments elsewhere I see that this label size is equivalent to what Victor used in the 1910s.



W.B.lbl 19th Oct 2015		I presume this is of a 4.0625" diameter label, or if not that, then 3.6875"?



xiphophilos 19th Oct 2015		The A Side, racist title and all, is one of the first recorded blues titles, cf. Nick Tosches, Where Dead Voices Gather (2009): link. B Side: audiofile from the Library of Congress
