Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 29th Sep 2017		This record must have been extremely popular. Cal Stewart recorded an older version of "Christmas Time at Pumpkin Center" onto a cylinder for Columbia in 1905. The script is available here. Three youtube videos of the A side exist, and both sides are available on mp3s via archive.org: A side B side
xiphophilos 29th Sep 2017		Thanks for the upload. The interesting thing is that your copy, exactly like the one in the Youtube videos, combines an A side with the later, 1920 design with a B side that still has the original 1919 design (and thus also the letter code IX instead of JX). Both copies must be very early represses.
edlongus SUBS 29th Sep 2017		OK xiphophilos - I added a scan of my copy's B-side, and I tried 2 adjust the scan 2 make it easy 2 read?!?
xiphophilos 29th Sep 2017		A side: B side:
xiphophilos 29th Sep 2017		Could you add the B side too? I notice that the mysterious letter code on the A side has also changed, from IX to JX, and I'd love to see what the B side says. Maybe this will at some point allow us to understand the pattern behind these codes. At this point, Ed, I can already tell you that your version (image 1460878) represents a slightly later repress than normanfeer's labels. Norman's labels list six patents in two lines at the bottom, which is the label style used ca. 1918-1919. Yours list only five patents in two lines and are from ca. 1919-1920. Source: M. Sherman & K Nauck, "Note the Notes" (1998), page 28. (By the way, I've lightened Ed's scan up a bit so it's more easily readable. You may have to clear your computer's image cache to see this.)
edlongus SUBS 28th Sep 2017		A-side label variant added. My copy says 'Descriptive' instead of 'Organ Accompaniment' on the right side. B-side is almost identical 2 what is already posted.
