| Indestructible
and U-S Everlasting Cylinders is the first new study of these
records in more than five decades. It covers all brands and series
and includes release dates, composer credits, alternate versions,
special-use issues, and other data not found in the old Deakins
and Annand guides.
The cylinderography — compiled from an extensive examination
of the original records, box lids, advance release lists, catalogs, and supplements
— corrects the errors and omissions found in earlier works, and includes previously unpublished information
on rarities like the Medicophone and Singaphone cylinders.
The introductory history is the first fully detailed and properly
documented study of the companies and people who produced these
cylinders. Richly illustrated, it draws on original legal papers,
patent filings, newspaper and trade journal reports, the papers
of J. Louis von der Mehden (U-S Everlasting’s musical director),
and other primary-source materials.
Additional features include a pictorial guide to
boxes, lids, cylinder colors, and rims; a user’s guide; notes
on scarcity and value; and artist and title indexes.
