-
To provide a listing of Blue Amberol’s catalogued recordings and provide information regarding the music and artists on those recordings. Helpful to researchers in assessing early recordings.
-
Includes all known original Edison recordings—both direct and dubbed—that appear on Blue Amberol cylinders between the years 1912-1929. Since Blue Amberol was the sole American cylinder producer during this time, the majority of the vocal recordings are in English and were usually recorded by American musical groups (although a few examples of British series pieces are included in two pages). These recordings include vocal and instrumental works of classical, popular, folk, and various other genres.
-
Two sections. (1) “Regular Series.” (2) “Concert Series,” covering years 1912-1918 only. Both sections are organized in ascending numerical order by catalogue number. Each entry provides the Blue Amberol catalogue number, release date, master source, recording location, and recording date, performer names, group name, work title and composer. Five appendices: (1) A Preliminary Listing of Noncommercial and Private Blue Amberol Issues; (2) Amberols Reissued as Blue Amberols; (3) Discs dubbed to Blue Amberols; (4) Disc Recordings Issued Only as Blue Amberols; and (5) Vocal Group Personnel. Indexed by title and artist (group and individual).
-
The appendix containing information regarding the personnel of vocal groups that frequently recorded with Blue Amberol Records is information that may not be generally accessible otherwise.
