Silent Night, Holy Night - Instrumental 78 RPM record played on HMV 102 antique gramophone

This rendition of Silent Night, Holy Night is performed by the Neapolitan Trio under the Victor Talking Machine Co. label. This instrumental rendition of the Christmas Hymn features the violin, flute, harp and bells, with the harp performance by Francis Lapitino. The melody for the song was originally composed by Franz Xaver Gruber. As far as I have been able to research, this particular rendition was take 2 of the recording session that took place on 09/25/1917 in Camden, NJ. The matrix # is B-20698. The Victor Label # is 18389A. The reverse side (Label 18389B) features Various Christmas Hymns performed by Francis Lapitino. I believe this record was released from 12/1917 through 1926. The gramophone this is being played on is a H.M.V C102B. I believe that it is from the 1933-1935 era due to the fact that it has the wooden motor board, metal needle container, and the No. 16 sound-box. This portable suitcase model needs restoration, as there are some cosmetic issues, missing parts, and the auto-brake does not function. Overall, I believe that it sounds good for being almost 90 years old. You can hear the tinny sound-box at times during the peaks (I hear that the 5a soundbox is better). I also need newer needles and a better microphone, as there are times that this maxed out. I don't have the equipment at the moment and wanted to get these videos up before the holiday is past! No copyright infringement is intended. I own NOTHING besides the physical records and gramophone. I am not making money off of this. If anything, I lost time that could have been spent watching The Mandalorian with my dog on the couch. This is classic music that needs to be enjoyed and not forgotten!
