The only comprehensive Edison Blue Amberol — now expanded to include listings for all foreign-series releases
and additional private and special-use cylinders.

You will find much newly added information in the American Blue Amberols section. Taken from the original Edison company files and Edison National Historic Site databases, much of this material is not accessible to the general public and appears in print here for the first time.

New features of this edition include:

  • Revised recording and/or release dates and recording locations from Edison archival materials
     
  • Additional details on remakes, alternate versions, cancelled numbers, and direct-versus-dubbed issues
       
  • Full personnel of vocal backing groups; plus newly added details on instrumental accompanists, band vocalists, conductors, arrangers, artist pseudonyms, uncredited performers, and medley contents
        
  • Disc takes used in the production of dubbed cylinders, and data for the corresponding wax Amberol and Diamond Disc releases
      
  • Expanded listings for private and special-use recordings, including the Ediphone, Kinetophone, and Panama-Pacific cylinders, private issues for Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, etc.

Other features include an expanded, illustrated historical introduction; a detailed user's guide; artist and title indexes; and Diamond Disc and wax Amberol cross-indexes.
