Indianola Fox Trot By The New York Military Band 1918 Blue Amberol Cylinder Record

Here is a Thomas Edison 4 Minute Blue Amberol Cylinder Record played on a Thomas Edison BVI, or VI-B, Amberola Phonograph. The song is titled "Indianola Fox Trot" and is performed by the New York Military Band. It was released in 1918. There is one brief flaw from 3:58 to 3:59. Aside from that, the old record is nice - it sounds very clear and very loud. Crank this up and live like they did in 1918!
