This deluxe hardcover is a greatly expanded edition of Mainspring's best-selling Blue Amberol Records paperback (now out of print). In addition to the complete American series, it's been expanded to include foreign-series, private, and special-use Blue Amberols.

You'll find much newly added information from the original Edison company files and Edison National Historic Site databases — data that hasn't been accessible to the general public, and much of which appears in print here for the first time. Features include:

• Recording and release dates, newly revised from Edison archival materials
   
• Details on remakes, alternate versions, cancelled numbers, and direct-versus-dubbed recordings
      
• Disc takes used in the production of dubbed cylinders — most of them published here for the first time — plus data on the corresponding wax Amberol and Diamond Disc releases
        
• Expanded listings of private and special-use cylinders — including the Ediphone, Kinetophone, and Panama-Pacific records, private issues for Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, and other rarities
       
• Newly added personnel details from the Edison files — vocal group members, accompanists, band vocalists, conductors, arrangers, artist aliases, uncredited performers
      
• Composer, show, and films credits, plus medley contents
     
• Expanded, illustrated introduction covering the Blue Amberol's history and production details; user's guide; artist and title indexes; and Diamond Disc and wax Amberol cross-indexes.
