The Edison Male Quartet recorded this selection four times for release on Edison 2216. It is not clear which version is represented by this entry:

First version was released on Edison brown wax cylinders in 1898.

Second version was released on moulded black wax cylinders in 1902. First pressings have no information pressed into the cylinder rim, but just a faint patent notice, Edison's signature and catalog number etched into the space following the last grooves. This release, which has the title, etc, in bold white at the end of the cylinder likely dates to sometime after August, 1904.

Two additional recordings of this selection were made and released on Edison 2216 in November 1907 and September 1908.
