Currently adding vigorously to my early jazz and swing-era shellac collection, but I enjoy all kinds of music. I also collect phonographs, and always have room for more machines. Music plays continuously at work and home. I am a cell biologist by day, but spend my off-hours collecting, listening, playing and reading about music, records and phonographs.
Added images of labels from a ca. 1926 repressing, with black labels not showing "Viva-tonal Recording" and "ELECTRICAL PROCESS" and only 2 patent dates (1913-1923) at bottom.
This is an interesting record because it combines an early electrical recording with an acoustic one. This was amongst the last Columbias issued with a Flag label, I think.
ODP states December 1938, but Rust states ca. December 1939. However, in "Eli Oberstein's United States Record Corporation", Allan Sutton notes that this latter date isn't possible because the other tracks recorded at the session were reviewed "Jazz Information" on November 24, 1939 (Varsity 8081).
