They turn up quite infrequently here in the U.S. I believe these were done for a few South American selections (that's what mine is, anyway!). These were made at the very beginning of Blue Amberol production and only briefly.

Your recording (BA 1506) is actually a very nice early 4M direct recording that came from a 4M Amberol (4M-513) master from 1910. As you may have noticed, the wider 2M stylus is skipping across the narrower 4M groove. Unfortunately, this is not one from the Mexican 2M wax series that was carried over to a BA. BillF |

yeah... I noticed it after comparing with a video of the same record on an Amberola.  |

Just for interest the early ICS language Amberols were 100tpi as well. They changed to 200tpi later.
Incidentally I believe the 100tpi blue ICS cylinders were the first blue Amberols, the 200tpi music records coming afterwards. The ICScylinders have blue dyed plaster, like the early music records.
