[Phono-L] Edison/Dalhart question

Thanks for looking that up for me, Douglas!  Greatly appreciated.  I was 
hoping that someone out there had a copy of Ron Dethlefson & Ray Wile's 2 
volume, 800pg complete listing of Edison Diamond Disc recordings, published 
in 1977.  I think.  When I found an Edison jobber record and contacted Tim 
Graycyk about it, he put me in contact with Jack Palmer and Ron Dethlefson, 
and Ron was kind enough to write me a post card explaining that the 
recording I'd found was listed on page 396 of this compendium of which I 
speak.  Unfortunately, I don't remember any other details about the book(s), 
nor have I ever stumbled across them online.

So does anyone out there have a copy of this work?  It would tell me what I 
need to know.  I'm trying to collect every take of "Baggage Coach" by 
Dalhart that was released.  My DD copy (that Jack graciously sent me as a 
gift) has "10315-B-1-  5" scratched in the runoff, so it seems there are at 
least 2 takes issued on DD alone.  The take I have on my BA 5011 is 
certainly a different performance than this DD Jack gave me.  Can anyone 
else help shed some light on this?

Thanks again,
Robert
