Thanks for having a look at my auction. In this auction you are bidding on a set of nine Oxford Disc Records from around 1905 (Oxfords were made through 1909). Now 107 or so years old, you can expect the sound to reflect that age. All play with varying degrees of hiss and are VG- or so from the table below. These are records you buy for the historic value and antiqueness rather than the quality of sound. Still it is interesting to listen back over 100 years to the dawn of the recording industry. The records are:

#4523 Ada Jones "Call Me Up Some Rainy Afternoon"

#19503 Vocal Quartette, Male Voices "Let Me Call You Sweetheart"

#3023 Henry Burr "Jesus Lover of My Soul"

#673 Male Quartette "Where Is My Wandering Boy To-night?"

#549 Helen Trix and Dan W. Quinn "Whistling Mike"

#518 Vocal Quartette, Male Voices "Nearer, My God, To Thee"

#3754 Stanley and Burr, baritone and tenor duet "Beyond The Smiling and The Weeping"

#3908 Violin, Flute, Harp Trio "The Herd Girls' Dream"

#3416 Baritone Solo (Coon Song) "The Parson And The Turkey"
