[78-L] alternate take puzzle -- Lyric 4207

[david.diehl at hensteeth.com]

The replacement is probably from about the same time as this Yerkes session:
New York, February-March,1922.
(1000-3) Cutie......Banner 1042, Paramount 20106, Puritan 11106
(1001-1 & 2) Dear Old Southland.......Banner 1044, Paramount 20106, Black Swan 2052, Puritan11106
(1002-1) After The Rain Banner 1042, Paramount 20105, Puritan 11105
(1003-1 &2) Angel Child....Banner 1044, Paramount 20111, Puritan 11111
The original master could have been damaged in the interim or perhaps it didn't dub to their satisfaction.

Subject: [78-L] alternate take puzzle -- Lyric 4207

Just got a copy of Lyric 4207 "At the High Brown Babies' Ball" by YerkesNovelty Five, probably recorded c. October 1919 -- and the matrix seemsodd. Every reference I've seen re this disc indicates mx 12015 (The flipside, "Missouri Blues," by the same group, has mx 12014.) This disc plainlyshows mx 1014-2 for "High Brown Babies'." And it is clearly a different takethan the 12015 I've heard. Also, the label has the word "Lateral," whichlater Lyrics I have do not. Why the unusual mx?? (Does 1014 fit with some known series from anotherlabel or recording lab? Was there an earlier mx series at Lyric? Weremistakes made in engraving matrices ?) Any ideas ?_______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
