Tim Gracyk's book "Edison Diamond Disc Re-Creations" lists several
pairings for this 1052 matrix number:
One record number 50008 has it paired with matrix 1001 titled "No One to
Love", Mixed Quartet
Record #50018 has it matched with matrix 941 titled "Fairest Rose Waltz",
Charles Daab
Record #50021 has the same pairing as #50018
Record #50022 has it matched with matrix 1053 titled "Flower Song", Violin,
Cello, Flute, Harp
"Whispering Flowers" by Reed Orchestra is listed as matrix #2367, paired
with matrix 2048 "Angel's Dream Waltz", Band, on record #50037.
There are some other pairings of these in the 80000 series:
Record 80001 has matrix 1052 paired with matrix 999 "Berceuse-Jocelyn",
Cello.
"Whispering Flowers" is also listed as matrix 939, paired with matrix 1250
"On the Road to Mandalay", Thomas Chalmers, on record 80003.
Record 80022 has this matrix with the same pairing as 50022.
I have #80022, complete with the box that it originally came in. Some of
the earliest Edison DDs were packaged in a flat chipboard display box rather
than in a paper sleeve. These deluxe boxes had a color picture and written
descriptions of the selections on the front.
There may be other pairings, but I didn't find them in a cursory scan of the
book.

Subject: [Phono-L] Edison Diamond Disc Record NumberWanted
I am cataloging my records & have one of the early "etched" label Edison
diamond discs that does not include the record number on either it's face
or
edge for which I have been unable to find a record number. It is:
"The Bloom is on the Rye" Henry R. Bishop, Composer - Tenor & baritone
Orchestra Accompaniment (matrix number 1052) (I've found other couplings
of
this listed as sung by Harry Anthony & Charles Harrison)//
"Whispering Flowers" Von Blon, Composer Band - Reed Instruments (matrix
number as best I can make out 939)
I any of you know the number of this record, I'd like to know. Many
thanks!
