[78-L] First puzzle disc?

[Michael Biel]

It is fascinating that the Berliner records belonged to the seller's 
grandmother's maid!!  If she bought them new, the maid must have been 
very well paid.  But the records listed -- and most Berliner titles at 
the time, were rather low-class entertainment. 

On offer here are FIVE RARE EMIL BERLINER TRUE GRAMOPHONE DISCS DATED 
FROM 1895 TO 1899. The titles are:

E2148 Soldiers of the Queen 11-8-95 London   Sung by M? Bowell
E6276 Narcissus Banjo Duet 25-5-98 London   Mayo & Hunter
E2195 Little Alabama Coon 12-16-98 London    Sung by Mr Burt Shepard
-3080 Soldiers in the Park 1-18-99 London        Solo & Chorus - no 
artists' names
