Steve,  Is this 1925 electric Harmony one that you have in your collection 
or heard about from someone?    If it's the real thing that would be 
amazing.

Harmony seemed more inclined to do their first electric recording for 
vocalists,  as Steve has pointed out.  In '28 - '29 you'll find electric 
Harmony  Hanshaw,  Vallee,   Jack Miller,  Willard Robison,  Jack Hart, 
"The Singing Boys" and some others,  all before there were any electric 
dance band sides that I've seen.  If there are earlier ones,  I hope I can 
find them.
