Description

Ada Jones Zon-o-phone 5716 'The Cookbook of Love' / 'All Aboard for Blanket Bay'
10" 78 rpm record, original shellac recorded circa 1905.
Ada Jones was a sought-after soprano at the turn of the 20th century. This is early popular music on a scarce label; quite scarce to find these early discs, pre-1911, with some shine left and produce good quality sound on playback.
Recorded in New York.
GRADE: V



ITEM DETAILS:  Scratches / some grain and groove wear / wear typical of age. Sound is solid with background noise common with 78s. Your playback may vary. The record plays well on my setup. Some EQ helps with the grain, a common adjustment if you are into 78s. See photos and ask any questions.
