[78-L] Grey Gull 4114 - 1920?

[Dan Van Landingham]

Just what do you mean by "dead wax"?I've never heard that term before.

41512 would be an early Emerson matrix number (some early GGs were sourced
from them, so I understand)....no doubt if you look in the dead wax there
will be a very different number.

I have what is Grey Gull 4004, 'Flanagan in a restaurant' b/w 'Flanagan's
married life', both credited to Steve Porter, as an acoustic recording, and
also what is represented as Radiex 4004, etc.  The label copy on the Radiex
is taken from the same printing plates as for the earlier GG issue, nothing
changed at all.  But the matrix numbers in the dead wax are from much later;
the Radiex disc is electrically recorded.

So if my example is any indication, what you have is a similar item, an
electrical remake of an acoustic recording with the label copy unchanged
from the original.
