I have to agree with Peter! I don't think there is any finer sound on disc from that era than Edison's condensite surfaces. Especially after 1919, when he was able to get the needed material now that the war was over. I think the recording method of sound at the bottom of the grooves, rather than the side, is a plus as well. Not to mention, no changing pins!!!! Bill I agree! I am still often surprised by the supurb sound quality. I even have a near mint copy of Edison Disc # 50001 "Moonlight In Jungleland" & "Below The Mason-Dixon Line" Recorded in 1912 Sincerely, Rick A.
