That might predate U-S product; "Jack Tar" was written in 1906, which is earlier than any U-S personnel involvement I know of, as Albert Benzler was still at Edison, and John Kaiser was at Norcross _I think_, (Sousa's "latest march" in 1907 would have been "Powhatan's Daughter" and 1908 was "Fairest of the Fair".) The old Norcross studio became the U-S studio, though, and they might have been experimenting there with celluloid recording. Bill Klinger is the gentleman who'd know best.

Allen, the core was a pressed woodflour, with a glue binder, and the celluloid was brown, it had no title, on the end, just announced Sousa's Latest March, Jack Tar Played by Hedges Orchestra. I ment it was a U.S record, the sound quality was very good. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org This email message and any attachments may contain confidential information.
