This is both volumes of Edison Blue Amberol Recordings

Book One, 1912-1914 Table of Contents

Book Two, 1915-1929 Table of Contents

A carefully researched guide to Edison Blue Amberol Recordings along with descriptions of the recording process and equipment. Includes Original Record Slips and Supplements • Performers • Record Listings • Grand Opera Recordings • Live and Transcribed Recordings • Historical Overview • Amberol and Diamond Disc Companions

Ronald Dethlefson's carefully researched study of the development of Edison's finest cylinder recordings was out of print for many years. We are excited to be able to offer this valuable two volume reference once again.

Author Dethlefson has added newly discovered details and photographs of the manufacturing process and cleared up certain speculation that appeared in the first edition. Also included in these books are reproductions of a great many of the record slips which accompanied the records when new, but are invariably lost today.

Together, these books form a very valuable reference set which belongs in the library of every collector interested in cylinder recordings, whether from the standpoint of manufacturing or artistry. The whole story is captured in this monumental set, and shouldn't be missed.
