Comments and Reviews

xiphophilos 27th May 2016		W.B.lbl has now told me that both records were pressed at Columbia's Bridgeport, CT plant. The narrower capital letters 'C', 'D', and 'O' in the "Duet with Orchestra accompaniment" line on my older pics are from a pre-1920 Linotype font (7 point Gothic No. 4), whereas the wider 'C', 'D' and 'O' on the recently uploaded label are from post-1920. Columbia's typesetters continued to use the older types for a long time, some into the 1950s, and mixed different types of the same font as well.
xiphophilos 26th May 2016		Uploaded label variants with different fonts {images 1066289 and 1066290}, so probably pressed at a different time. Take and stamper numbers embossed under the label: A Side: 2-G-65; B Side: 2-E-84.
xiphophilos 8th Oct 2015		B & A Sides: "Barney Google" (after the then popular comic strip) must have been a particular hit of the Hare-Jones duo. They recorded the song also for Edison, Emerson, and Brunswick. B Side in a clearer recording:
