In mid-1903, sales were accelerating for Edison's louder new-generation molded black wax records
(replacing his individually copied brown wax cylinders).
Also, the Peerless Orchestra had enjoyed a string of hot-selling recordings.
These factors combined to help make this excellent recording
marketed as a "characteristic barn dance" a big-seller for Edison.
As is typical of many of these early black wax recordings,
the capture of the bass is relatively strong
a feature that was essentially lost by 1905 due to "improvements" in the recording process.
