They all sound slow to me. Listen to the oboe and banjo.

Try these. I left the 1st Okeh version alone. It seems to be fast enough.
The Edison version has a flat oboe solo, but seems less so when sped up. 
All instruments sound more plausible. Another thing, the scratch pitch 
sounds more normal. I agree the Okeh version has more "plump" to it.
