Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 4th May 2021		Thanks for your additional research, fixbutte! I myself have added a link to a Dec. 20, 1917 newspaper ad that lists this record. Here are also Columbia ads from 1915 that mentions the 20th of the month as the usual release date: https://ia800708.us.archive.org/9/items/ColumbiaRecords1915C/Columbia%20Records%20-1915C.jpg https://archive.org/details/ColumbiaRecords1915B
fixbutte 3rd May 2021		Btw, here's an explicit confirmation by the "renowned website DAHR" itself, basically covering the whole interval from 1901 to 1934, though not specifying the 10th and 20th as "official" release days: Appendix A: Matrix and Catalog Number Dating Charts ...Discs were announced monthly throughout most of this period, and the monthly supplement in which the record was first listed defines the official month of release. Columbia (and its competitors) allowed dealers to place new releases on sale a week or so before the end of the preceding month, however, so a “January” release would actually have been available in late December.
Lovinda 3rd May 2021		Thanks guys for making this important issue clearer.
fixbutte 30th Apr 2021		As shown by xiphophilos, new records on a Columbia month list (catalog supplement) were apparently released on the 20th of the previous month, and from September 1917 on there was an additional Mid-Month List with a selection of eight records released on the 10th of the previous month, "to get more business from the 10th to the 20th" to the Columbia dealers, see Talking Machine World July 15, 1917, page 16-17. Accordingly, eight records of the January 1918 Columbia list, including the seasonal "Christmas Morning At Clancy's" record (Columbia A2402), were already released on the 10th December 1917, see The Evening Star, Tuesday, December 11, 1917, page 14: Columbia Mid-Month Records - Just Released. The seven Columbia records besides A2402 from this mid-month list can be identified as A2398, A2399, A 2403, A2308, A2309, A2310 and A5998. Consequently, the other 30 records from the January 1918 Columbia supplement as displayed in the Talking Machine World would have been released on the 20th December 1917. As known from later lists and catalogs, Columbia would have three release days from at least 1924 to the end of 1928: the 10th, the 20th and the 30th. It appears that the third of these release days, the 30th, had not been installed in 1917.
Mike Gann 29th Apr 2021		Advance release for January, 1918 (i.e. released in late December, 1917) I've found several instances in DAHR for Columbia Records where the release date was wrong.
Lovinda 29th Apr 2021		The renowned website DAHR (Discography of American Historical Recordings) has 1918 as release year. Also submitter's correction note's link has January 1918 listed (if searching for cat. number A2397 it'll take you to January 1918 page). However, the edition was still released in Dec 1917, so maybe a question of definition?
Mike Gann 9th Jun 2019		December, 1917 release date found here https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Talking-Machine/10s/Talking-Machine-1917-12.pdf [Thanks! Now fixed. Mod.]
