This is a crude transfer of an unnumbered, unreleased, directly-recorded BA, made in 1915 in the Ford Auditorium, Dearborn, Michigan, by the Ford Motor Band.

 

Ten private recordings were made in total (1915) and a complete set is located at the Edison site.  Henry Ford was known to have given personal copies of these to local schools and a few of these remain “in-the-wild”.  However, this recording has likely been heard by few today.

 

Another private recording session occurred in 1925. Some of those unnumbered pressings remain “in-the-wild” but several became numbered, cataloged and released BA’s.
