COMIC RAGTIME SOLOS & DUETS BY ARTHUR COLLINS & BYRON HARLAN VOL. 3
(RECORDED 1901-1912)

 

TRANSFER MADE FROM RARE 2 MIN WAX CYLINDERS.
MIRACLE SOUND FILTERING SYSTEM WAS USED.

 

 

This release includes early Edison 2 min wax, Columbia and US Everlasting 2 min celluloid cylinders.
 

*Ragtime Solos are performed by Arthur Collins
*Ragtime Duets on selections 1 and 3 are performed by Arthur Collins and Joe Natus.
*Ragtime Duets on all other selections are performed by Arthur Collins & Byron Harlan.


The lower voice on these recordings is that of Arthur Collins.
The higher voices are either Byron Harlan or Joe Natus as noted.
These early comic ragtime songs are performed in several dialects: Minstrel, Irish, German and Italian.
The women's role is usually performed by Byron Harlan.
However, we are treated to Mr. Collins' comic falsetto in the "Just Because He Couldn't Sing Love me and The World Is Mine" solo.
This comic song pokes fun at a popular serious song of the period called "Love Me and The World Is Mine".
 

Collins & Harlan were the most popular recording team of the Ragtime Era.
