Alix Lukos - Clap Hands (Edison Blue Amberol cylinder)

Описание к видео Alix Lukos - Clap Hands (Edison Blue Amberol cylinder)

Alix Lukos sings "Clap Hands", with a backing band, on Edison Blue Amberol cylinder. The recording was issued just before the First World War and the last verse refers to the heightened tensions between Britain and Germany, and in particular the threat posed by Germany's navy, which had been expanding rapidly.

These early Edison Blue Amberols were superbly recorded. The later American ones (after 1915) were dubbed from Edison Diamond Disc masters, but this 1914 British Amberol is a direct master. I have carried out some restoration, such as declicking and dehissing.
