S H Dudley performs 'The Blow That Almost Killed Father (Parody)' on Victor 35 — an extraordinarily early Victor number, placing this among the first commercial disc pressings ever made by the Victor Talking Machine Company, almost certainly before 1902. Dudley was one of the most prolific early American recording artists; a Victor pressing with a two-digit catalogue number is a genuinely historic document of the very beginnings of recorded sound.

The summary above was written by AI from what is known of the artist and the pressing. It is not a description of this copy's condition, and we have not checked every detail — ask us and we will tell you what we can actually see.
