[78-L] First vocal recording of Temptation Rag

[Han Enderman]

Thus all dates in the Abrams files are inaccurate at this point (early 1910), except the
26 Mar 1910 date for mx 04394 by Elida Morris (not 28/3 as misquoted by Steven).
The June 1910 release date confirms that a quick release took 2-3 months from the
recording date. Though it seems they were able to release Christmas issues within
ca. 1 month.

June 1910. as I posted to ARSCList a couple of hours ago:
Tim Brooks gives a release date as from the monthly supplement of June 
1910.  He does not give a recording date for this matrix, but several 
just before it do have dates in late March 1910.  He shows two takes of 
this, an unmarked take which is on Aeritino D 678, Oxford 4396, and 
United A 826, and -2 which is on Columbia A 826..

The "Abrams File" (COLA.TXT btw) gives the matrix for the Collins side as 
4396=2. It cites the
other side of A826 (by Elida Morris, whomever she was?) as  matrix 4394=1, 
having been recorded
on 3/28/1910 (March 28). Given the fact that the two matrices are only 
separated by two...the
Collins side may have been cut the same day (or a day or two later?); this 
in turn would
seem to suggest that the Collins side was cut sometime between March 28 and 
April 1, 1910?!
