Comments and Reviews


Pridesale 11th Sep 2021		For some reason most of my Columbia Black 10in discs were probably re-issues or otherwise later production which is why the earlier labels both appear 'larger' - there seems less information and a bigger typeface too). Was it only the acoustic recorded that got 80 Speed with the electric ones changing to omit it ? Makes sense seeing the full B Side sheet music , that it was a ragtime tune

xiphophilos 10th Sep 2021		Actually, the British Columbia records from the 1920 all say "Speed 80", as far as I know, although from what I have read, they play best at 78 rpm.



Pridesale 8th Sep 2021		Help in dating this. 80 RPM, which is a little unusual for a Black Label 10in Columbia Eccentric indeed, described as a One-Step, is available on CD and LP Compilations. Cannot find a reference to the A Side, which I could not clearly read off the label, which is a Fox-Trot ,
