	Edison Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edison Records was the first record label, pioneering recorded sound and an important player in the early record industry.
		In 1913 artists' names began to be added to the records; previously, Edison's policy was to promote his cylinders based on the recognition of composers and the works recorded theron in lieu of the performers themselves.
		Edison Laboratories had been experimenting with disc records for some 3 years, as the general public seemed to prefer them to cylinders.

	Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph
		The laminated surface of the discs also had a tendency to detach from the core material, and surface noise was frequently apparent, which contradicted the aim of perfection that the company was trying to achieve with its recordings.
		Edison recording artists would sing along with a disc recording of their voices, daring the audience to be able to tell the difference.
		Edison made Diamond Discs in ten-inch and twelve-inch sizes; but, owing to the unusual playing length of the ten-inch record, it will only be necessary to make twelve-inch records of compositions of extra length.

		The new Edison Disc Phonographs were unveiled to the trade in July 1911 at the Fifth Annual Convention of the National Association of Talking Machine Jobbers in Milwaukee.
		Before 1914, Edison discs were produced using the so-called transfer process, a laborious and time-consuming procedure in which the pressing was made onto thin resin sheets, which were then bonded in a separate step to the thick, fibrous cores.
		Discs 50001 through 50050 were pressed in small quantities, primarily for dealers as demonstration discs, and as a group are rare today.

		Edison Records continued selling cyliners until they went out of business in 1929, but for the last decade these were simply dubbs of their commercial disc records intended for customers who still used cylinder phonographs purchased years before.
		In October of 1913 the Edison Diamond Disc Record was introduced.
		The audio fidelity was often comprable to the best of other record companies of the time, but they sold poorly as Edison's market share had declined to the point where it was no longer one of the leading companies and Edison had few distributors compared to leaders like Victor, Columbia, and Brunswick.

		Yessler said the earliest records were produced on cylinders of wax and tin foil as early as 1895.
		Edison and others improved on the cylinder, but by 1908, disc technology was moving into the music recording scene.

		The cabinet was available in brown mahogany and Edison Brown, and sported a central flap lid, and two record cupboards set on either side of the motor compartment, with a capacity for 38 records.
		Edison discs are stored in a single record drawer with cards and indices for filing.
		The most noticeable contrast to the P-1 and P-2 Edison portables would certainly have to be the lengthwise opening of the machine, similar to other Prime portables sold under different names.

		1916: Thomas Edison Holding an Edison Disc Record
		Edison introduced Blue Amberol cylinders in 1912 that had better sound than discs when played with the recommended diamond stylus, but he hedged his bets by introducing Diamond Disc records in 1913, that also used the diamond stylus.
		After this the disc gained increasing popularity over the cylinder, until the cylinder finally died in 1925 when superior Orthophonic phonographs using electrically recorded discs became available.

		Edison himself saw nothing ironic about working closely with sound, claiming that he was driven to improve the phonograph until the results satisfied his defective hearing.
		Edison's company eventually made changes to keep up with competitors, even by late 1927 adopting the electric recording process and by 1929 making "needle-type" discs that could be played on competitors' equipment.
		Edison's tone-tests in the late 'teens and the early 1920s were successful because the machines really did sound like the artists who were standing next to the machines.

	Edison:The History of the Edison Disc Phonograph
		The new Edison Disc Phonograph was shown for the first time publicly at the Fifth Annual Convention for the National Association of Talking Machine Jobbers at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 10-13th, 1911.
		Additional advertising for the Diamond Disc was secured through promotion of the Edison film The Voice of the Violin, made in 1915, which featured a Tone Test by Anna Case.
		The early disc issues contained the Edison trademark, Edison's image, the title of the selection, and the composer, all pressed into the glossy fl surface of the disc using a half-tone electrotype.

		Edison cylinders used the hill and dale method of recording (vertically modulated).
		Edison Diamond Discs should NEVER be played on old acoustical lateral cut record players like the old wind up Victrola's.

		Unlike conventional shellac records, the Edison disc was a made of a core material of "molded phenol and formaldehyde mixed with wood flour and a solvent into a heat-resistant disc," covered with Condensite, a phenolic-resin varnish.
		Edison shied away from contracting with popular artists.
		Today, Edison Diamond Disc phonographs in original condition are scarce.

		It is so called because, rather than using the steel needles required to play most disc records of the day, Edison's discs required a diamond stylus.
		Like the early cylinder records, diamond discs were recorded in the "hill and dale" method, meaning the indentations in the grooves went up and down.
		Diamond Discs had excellent sound quality and were considered a premium product.

	Edison:Instumental Selections on the Edison Diamond Discs (1912-1929)
		To modern audiences, this recording is jarringly offensive, but it would be misrepresentative of history not to acknowledge the existence of these recordings and the fact that they were accepted as mainstream popular entertainment and were produced by nearly every popular record label.
		Thus, the foreign language and ethnic recordings served a double purpose: they could be sold abroad to foreign audiences or to immigrant groups here in the U.S. For the immigrant, sound recordings offered a way of maintaining one's culture amidst a larger society, and perhaps offered some solace to those who missed their homelands.
		The Edison label arranged to have "Tone Tests" of the new Diamond Discs where an artist such as Marie Rappold or Anna Case would sing with a phonograph recording of her voice before a large audience.

		Every record, even if thought to be cleaned, is soiled with a wide range of dirts and contaminants, including mold and mildew.
		Contaminants between the groove and diamond stylus or steel needle cause mistracking and are abrasive resulting in unnecessary, excessive wearing of both record and stylus.
		Dry brushing with a carbon fiber brush for vinyl or velvet duster for shellac, acetate and Diamond Discs is all the maintenance necessary.

		Originated by the Edison Psychological Research work, Mood Music is being talked about a great deal just now, and many of us have discovered that our emotional state may be changed through the subtle influence of music quite independent of our will.
		But from ancient times it has been known that dance tunes have the power to make us feel happy, that we undergo both mental and physical transformation under their spell, even if we do not trip the light, fantastic toe, and are content to dance in our minds only.
		The mechanical factors of the Edison reproducing practice have been scientifically synchronized with the microscopic sound-wave undulations, in the spiral record groove on the Re-Creations, as produced by the exclusive method employed in recording at the Edison Recording Laboratories.
