Description
Offered here is a rare Columbia '20th Century' 6" cylinder record that plays for 3 minutes. It was made extra long to allow up to 3 minutes of play during a time when the standard cylinder records only played up to 2 minutes. These were a pretty big deal in 1905 and the cylinder players that played them were very high end. But when Edison introduced the 4" cylinder that played 4 minutes in 1908, these were all but forgotten.
Only 189 different titles were issued during the short life of these cylinders.
This one is 'Annie Laurie', a baritone solo by David Bispham, catalog number 85078 (Sep., 1906). Included are the original case and correct lid. See photos for details.
These are quite rare and almost impossible to find in this condition.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
