A series of great EDISON DIAMOND DISC recordings:
This is probably the longest 10" Diamond disc ever produced, it will trip the auto stop on most Edison Phonographs before the end.
Total playing time is over 5 minutes!
O terra addio - the FINALE ULTIMO of Aida, one of the first Records by Edison of the 83000 series: Around the same time, Caruso and Gadski recorded it (without Amneris and Chorus) on two 12" sides, Ponselle and Hackett did a truncated version on 1 12" , Edison records the finale on a single, crammed 10" Diamond Disk, thankfully with Amneris (uncredited) and Grand Opera Chorus. With Marie Rappold, his choice for the jugendlich-dramatisch and hochdramatisches Fach, and the famous tenor with a strong voice, Giovanni Zanatello, he had two top notch talents from the Met at his disposal:
w chorus, no Amneris
No faceplate on -L

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:
As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.
Quick note on grading:
The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately
When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise.
These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.
Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.
Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.
I charge actual postage plus a small handling fee for packing materials
As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.
If you are in the San Francisco area, I welcome pick-up in person.
I am very happy to ship records worldwide.
Please use the EBAY shipping cost as a guideline.
As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.
Thank you very much, and enjoy these great records!!!
