The song on this cylinder reflects the Jim Crow era with the unfortunate and offensive title of this duet "Nigger Loves His Possum". From January 1902 until 1912--that is, between the manufacture of the rare brown wax cylinders and common blue ones--the Edison Company employed the "Gold Moulded" process. Master metal molds (moulds) were formed from the original recording, and melted wax was fed into the working mold whose grooving was in negative. These were called "two-minute" cylinders though performances may not last exactly two minutes. An estimated 8000 different titles were issued on black wax with total production running into the tens of millions, yet they are rare due to fragility and proneness to fungus.
