From way back in 1897 this is a favorite Columbia brown wax cylinder of mine, "Sleigh Ride Party", with Len Spencer and friends. With unusually crisp and clear reproduction, this very early cylinder has some nice sleigh bell sound effects and a variety of comedy and song included. I selected one of my Columbia Model 'B' Eagle Graphophone phonographs to play this cylinder. Note how slowly the cylinder revolves allowing a nice long selection unlike later cylinders that revolve at 160 rpm. I hope that you enjoy this very early cylinder with Christmas just around the corner. Thanks, as always, for stopping in for a visit.
