Blue Amberol cylinder recording of Suffragettes March, performed by Liberati’s Band and issued under Edison catalogue number 2413.  Blue Amberol records, introduced in 1912, were Edison’s durable celluloid-coated cylinders, intended for repeated playback and mass circulation. Surviving examples with explicit suffrage titles are uncommon, and examples retaining the original Edison container are scarcer still.
