Description
Truscalina Brown (Joseph E. Sullivan)
Silas Leachman, bar; Chimes and piano acc. Self-announced
Victor 1132 (s/s 10” 78 rpm acoustic record) Recorded Philadelphia, Dec 6, 1901, pre-matrix. First “dog” label. No “Patented” under the spindle hole.
V+. A bit noisy at start, 3 scratches which sound 3 or 4 times and one brief needle drop. After adjusting the equalization and using a 3.25 mil elliptical truncated stylus, it sounds fine and clear with remarkable presence for 1901.
Pre-matrix. Recorded when a single metal part, when worn out, meant the take had to be retired. According to Fagan and Moran’s Enyclopedic Discography covering the pre-matrix period, this one, misdated there as recorded Dec 6, 1902, was never released, only take -2 made the same day. This is corrected in DAHR but they give no sales figures and list both takes as having been issued.
Shipping is $ 4.00 to the U.S; elsewhere it’s calculated by the delivery address
