“Over There” by Arthur Fields and Peerless Quartet 1917

“Over There” by Arthur Fields and Peerless Quartet 1917 Lyric Record (Vertical) 5109 The label on this unusual record is what originally interested me in the record. Below is some information on the short lived Lyric Record made by the Lyraphone Co. Of America. The first mention of this record I can find is in the September 1917 Talking Machine World. And, Lyric Records were introduced in 1917 so the date makes sense. 5109 Over There Arthur Fields. Baritone, and Peerless Quartet Good-Bye Broadway, Hello, France, Peerless Quartet This record has an odd thing on both sides. The music on both sides is about 3 minutes long. But, at the end there is about a minute more of empty grooves with no sound. I don’t have any idea why that is the case, but I did read that Lyric 10 inch records could be up to 4 minutes long which is longer than lateral 10 inch records that are limited to about 3 minutes. So maybe they made all their records last 4 minutes or something odd like that. I tend to like World War I records and Over There was recorded by a lot of singers, including Enrico Caruso, and it was used in many fund raisers for the war effort.

OF AMERICA: An American firm, first advertising as the Lyraphone Co., 220 Fifth Ave., New York, in 1915. In July 1917, by then renamed Lyraphone Co. of America, it had the address 12-14 W. 37th St., with a factory at 31-45 Steuben St., Brooklyn. It was located at 117 Mechanic St., Newark, New Jersey, from August 1919 to early 1921. With the acquisition of the American Piston Ring Co., Lyraphone moved part of its operations into that firm's factory at 704 S. 11th St., in May 1921. The company produced three labels, Lyraphone, Lyric Record, and Lyric. It also sold a circular gramophone with a rubber tone arm. Lyric Records were announced in July 1917, vertical cut, in 10- and 12-inch sizes. A thousand titles were available by September, including material in 17 languages. Most of the offerings were popular songs and dance music, but there were some classical items. Mario Rodolfi sang "E lucevan le stelle" on #7102. And in 1919 the president, M. J. Samuels, announced that the visiting Sistine Chapel Quartette (from the Sistine Choir of the Vatican) would record for Lyric Records. The label name was changed to Lyric, and the record label was redesigned, around 1919. It was identified as lateral cut.
