a 10" white label test. MASTER TEST NO. appears at 12 o'clock.
Below it, in light pencil, is: A5816
The line below says artist; below that, selection; below that, date
at 6 o'clock: THIS RECORD IS NOT FOR SALE
The title is a Tin Pan Alley song, "Sunny Weather Friends", ca. 1920. The
singer's name isn't given, nor is the date.
The artist is a tenor and a bit above average. He has had vocal training
and is suited to the concert repertory, but perhaps not grand opera.
It isn't from Victor, Columbia, or Brunswick. There is nothing beneath
the label.
For which company was it recorded? The number A5816 doesn't help me.
