The Same as His Faither Was Before Him – Harry Lauder, 4.6 MB mp3 file.

Another Harry Lauder tune. This is the purple-labeled, single-sided 1913 release. Sound quality is pretty good, with a few blips on the high notes.

Beautiful Isle of Somewhere – Evan Williams, 6.2 MB mp3 file.

The Ninety and Nine – Evan Williams, 6.3 MB mp3 file.

A pair of 1914 recordings by the famous tenor singer. According to the wikpedia article I found, prior to his death in 1918, he was the third highest selling artist on the Victrola label.

Bam Bam Bamy Shore – Roger Wolfe Kahn and his Hotel Biltmore Orchestra, 6.2 MB mp3 file.

Look Who’s Here – Roger Wolfe Kahn and his Hotel Biltmore Orchestra, 6.1 MB mp3 file.

Two highly danceable tunes from 1925.

Second Connecticut March – American Band of Providence, 5.4 MB mp3 file.

Another single-sided record, this one from 1902. There’s quite a bit of static, but the sound is pretty good, all things considered.

Angry – Johnny Hamp’s Kentucky Serenaders, 5.6 MB mp3 file.

Oh Say! Can I See You To-night – Johnny Hamp’s Kentucky Serenaders, 6.3 MB mp3 file.

These two tracks cleaned up pretty nicely, with a minor problem: there’s a kind of bizarre stereo effect that sort of ‘wobbles’ from ear to ear on the first one.
