Description
Welcome to my fourth round of auctions of REPRODUCTIONS of rare, early and fun disc records! Over the following months I will continue to list HUNDREDS of titles from 1888 - 1929.
Original discs are copied by using them as a "master matrix", which reproduces the entire disc, as it was loaned to me, scuffs and all. The new copies are pressed in a material which plays just like vintage shellac; they can be played on vintage equipment with steel needles if desired. All discs are single-sided and the backs are unfinished (as shown). Demonstration videos are available on my YouTube channel (DonWilsonLabs).
Description; Rosalia Chalia is one of the most popular of the early operatic sopranos and her recordings are highly sought after. If you've ever been curious as to what it would be like to play a copy on a vintage wind-up phonograph without potentially damaging a valuable disc, this is your opportunity! This pre-dog, Eldridge Johnson Victor is a great example of the numerous improvements that Johnson was able to make in the short transition from Berliners work, and it's also a wonderful song. The original copy from which it was made is unusually clean and sounds great.
Shipping;
Shipping via media mail with tracking is $5 within the continental USA. International shipping is at cost. The buyer assumes all liability for international shipments.
Returns;
My discs are very much handmade, and each is tested. If there's an issue with a disc you receive then I will gladly replace it. I put much pride in both my craftsmanship and the honesty of the description. If a skeptical buyer purchases one disc then I will offer a five day inspection period, if the buyer isn't satisfied with their purchase then I will accept the return (minus shipping).
