Title Take Your Time, Gentlemen

When made in 1892, this particular record was probably copied from the master recording by means of a hollow rubber tube running between the master and copying phonograph. For a 'tube copy' recording, it is quite clear and, after a few listenings, the words to this pleasant ballad are fairly easily understood.
