EKE BBB Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 This is the most comprehensive study on FH. Published in 1973. Second edition from 1974 available at amazon.com for less than USD 300... a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 There's not much in Hendersonia about his two sides on Edison. Just this: "It has been erroneously assumed that Edison's recording studios were in Orange, N.J. Although his factory and pressing facilities were in Orange, his studios were in New York City at that time. These records are a quarter-inch thick, are vertically cut, and can be played only on an Edison diamond disc reproducer. Those who have such a machine, however, will be rewarded by the finest fidelity of the acoustical era, and by playing times of over four minutes per side." Walter Allen provides additional information on the two sides, including identification of soloists. There's another Henderson book, pictured below, but it has no information about Henderson's recordings on Edison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linger awhiles from some famous collectors left behind collection and is mint, and will be by far my top favorite and most prized disc i plan on skipping over the "deep dig" part- not destroying my brand new diamond. having my reprodcer rebilt by the world expert and it will then not only be the earliest shubert model in the world but the best sounding as well. thanks for quoting that for me theres some henderson edison outtakes on youtube as well- the provence of these i also do not know ALSO IN CASE YOU GUYS DONT KNOW the RED STAR isnt like red stars on white label promos of later era- the red star denotes a DOG- a record that was expected not to sell and was printed in few quanities, and was not able to be retunred for cash or store credit by the dealer. oh wow http://www.harlem-fuss.com/pdf/bands/harlem_fuss_bands_henderson_fletcher_early.pdf Edited May 18, 2021 by chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 :""""following edisons practice, all 3 takes were issued, the differneces are minor""""" oh man so thats why the labels are removed- yeah the discs have take nos behind the labels.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted May 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) My question now is- at what point was, and how did they manage to get the test pressing copied from the Edison archives where it is held, according to UCSB's DAHR archive. It must of been a LONG time ago cause i also have it on my old Fletcher Henderson- 1923 lp.

Very cool, except for the doo-wacka-doo by the trumpets. The alto sax was rather ripe as well. Still, I enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for sharing.
