[78-L] very high price for a Berliner

[Stephan Puille]

Obviously, some buyers only saw the incised recording year of Berliner 242 Z and 249 Z, 1894, ignoring the fact that both are "modern" shellac compound pressings. These cornet duet recordings are still listed in my April 1897 Berliner record catalogue. Due to its long catalogue life they aren't much rarer than 1896 or 1897 recordings.
