[Phono-L] Edison 82525 question

[PHONOSTUFF at aol.com]

Hi Robert,
 
I checked Edison Disc Recordings by Ray Wile and the artist is Emmy  Destinn. 
The catalog cut-out date is 11/15/22.

Hi  Robert,

Edison had refused with the DDs to put artist names on them at  first.  This 
is kind of odd actually since artist names had been used on  cylinders for 
years.  However, according to Ray Wile's info it was July  1915 when artist names 
began to first appear.  Your record is obviously  from before that based on 
your other observation.  At first, these 82000  and 82500 discs were double 
sided and paired with another song.  This was  up until October 1913 when the 
machines and records truly went  commercial.  For a short time after that these 
were single sided (I think  until Feb. 1914) when they started adding the 
Explanatory Talk on the  other side.  I don't know if it was all of them at the 
time but at first  the Explanatory Talk didn't have a label imprinted - just 
grooves and a matrix  number.  I have several examples of these single sided discs 
and ones  with the sides that have no label  imprinted.

Cheers,
Glenn

A question for the  group:  I just picked up the above listed DD, etched 
label. It has two  unusual features prompting me to ask the group about it. One is 
that it has no  artist info, just Soprano solo with orchestral accomp. The 
other feature is  that it's utterly one-sided, smooth as glass on side two. 
Anyone have ANY idea  what the story is on this record??  Thanks in advance,  
Robert
