In 1926 Edison attempted to revive interest in his company by introducing a long playing Diamond Disc record. Tripling the standard group pitch to 450 TPI these records could play up to 40 minutes of music, 20 minutes each side. The records were plagued with problems such as skipping and groove wall breakdown. Only 14 different Edison LP Discs were issued before they were discontinued. This particular disc is #30003. It is in near mint original condition. There is no original sleeve for this record. Comes with an Edison Diamond Disc Record Catalog, a catalog on the Edison LP Phonograph, and other literature totaling 6 in number. This particular record was on display in the Larry Donley Phonograph Collection, Union IL and previously from the Clarence Ferguson Collection, Merrill WI.
