Diamond Disks were not terribly popular and were eventually phased out in 1929 in favor of the more popular conventional 78 records, which could be played by many different Brands of Phonograph . Edison refused the use of electric recording until 1927 . Electrically recorded Diamond Disks have a superb sound quality and a distinctive bass. IDENTIFYING DIAMOND DISKS The Diamond Disks can be easily distinguished from early 78 records, as Diamond Disk records are approximately 1/4 inches thick. All Diamond Disks have an Edison Records label. The sound quality is notably clearer on later electrically-recorded Diamond Disks than on any contemporary conventional record. Earlier Diamond Disks have more surface noise; these can be identified by their black Embossed labels, compared to the printed labels on later discs. The discs made during World War I are of the lowest sound quality due to shortages of high quality Shellac at the time. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
