[78-L] Philadelphia 1917 and the Liberty Bell

[Glenn Longwell]

Interesting that it's Victor that did the Feb. 11, 1915 recording as the Liberty Bell website says it's owned by Columbia.  I wonder if they were both there recording it. I will add this information onto that page and send this bit of info back to the Liberty Bell contact.

Thanks,
Glenn

Encyclopedic Discography of Victor Recordings resources show that
Victor recorded the Liberty Bell acoustically twice, on Feb. 11, 1915,
(B-15701; three takes); and June 14, 1917, (B-20039; one take). All
four takes are marked in ledgers as "destroy."

Anyone know whether this recording survives?
