Same 100 years ago as now. If anybody is still laboring under the misconception that we are living under a democracy or even our official founding as a democratic republic, you'd better look up the definitions of oligarchy and plutocracy. The Sherman Antitrust Act was just one of the many trust and monopoly busting pieces of federal legislation that were necessary to break up the fat, greedy, self-serving and self-perpetuating monopolies that were ruining the US economy 100 years ago and which had created the original Gilded Age. The fact that some of these laws are still on the books seems not to matter a whit to the fat corporate owners of this country and its government, all three branches of it. The latest outrage being that the toothless FCC (or, more correctly the corporate shill communications bureaucracy) has shamelessly given over the whole of Murkan media to whoever wants to pay the most for it. Gone are the stipulations that a majority of any local market cannot be dominated by a single media owner. Wasn't that just too convenient for Rupert Murdock and his right-wing politics. It's a crime that our schools no longer teach history, or our younger voting generation would recognize this takeover of the country as a repetition of the plague that befell us a century ago. Maybe if they weren't so personally interested in living like movie stars, professional game players, and corporate fat butts, they'd see that they country is going to hell in a handbasket and all the cash is in Swiss bank accounts belonging to the fatasses who own us.

It was a hostile takeover by the Thomson-Houston Company (they bought up a controlling interest in Edison General Electric's stock). The merged company was under control of Thomson's managment, and renamed General Electric. Edison was allowed on the board of directors, but quit after he realized he had no authority. By the way, I work for GE.

When he needed more cash for his laboratory, he sold out his interest in the company to the fat butts, they dropped the Edison from the company name, and they went on to create one of the biggest cash cows in Murkan history. ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Two weeks ago I was asking on the 78list if the Victor/Gramophone and Typewriter Co. early Red Seal Suzanne Adam Opera Record predated the Columbia Grand Opera record that she did around the same time. Guess what else I found at the Anique/Junk shop, yup the extremely rare Suzanne Adams Columbia!! Pretty incredible. The strange thing is that I don't spend much time anymore out looking for old 78's.

Wow, I've never seen the elusive 16 (ish) Pathe in all these years, and now two stashes show up. Bruce, the records you describe are exactly the same as the ones I just grabbed from eBay last month. Ron Dethlefson has exstensive info about them in his Pathe book, wich I haven't had the funds to grab a copy of just yet (but he told me it's all in there). Dr. K has 2 machines that accommodate these monster discs and can tell you more than I. I transferred the Ca. Ramblers title (Cat. #566) among my stash and sent it to an Adrian Rollini enthusiast in the UK who confirmed that in typical Pathe fashion, the performance is the same as other Pathe issues (always with the pantographing! I swear). Here's what he had to say: Thank you SO much for the recording - beautifully done - you know your stuff I think. Anyway, the California Ramblers were also known as The Golden Gate Orchestra many other names for different record labels. 'Where is That Old Girl of Mine' was only recorded once by them it was under the name of 'The Vagabonds' on June 6th 1924 matrix number 8912-A. The strange thing is that it was not recorded for Pathe at all but for the Gennett Label (Gennett 5529) also released on Edison Bell Winner (4121) Starr 9566 - note last three numbers (566) which correspond to the matrix marks on your disc!!!??? I can confirm that both yours the Gennett are absolutely identical your speed is running perfectly correctly - putting the tune in the key of Eb. That the speed and key match tells me the discs run at 120rpm exactly. I still need to collect all title/artist/number/matrix info on these discs. Work picked up and I've been swamped for a month now.

What type of phonograph would they be playing these 15 3/4 Pathes and Music Service Co. Records on in the early twenties? They do not fit on a regular type Pathe Machine, which could accomodate up to the 14 pathes. Bruce ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org -- No virus found in this incoming message.
