ABSTRACT
A 5 ½-inch American record produced by Henry Waterson between 1914 and 1919; the recording and pressing were done by Columbia. The records were lateral cut, with a playing time of one minute and 45 seconds; they sold for $0.15. A new record player was designed for the Little Wonder record, but standard phonographs could also accommodate it. Artists were anonymous, and the records had no paper labels (title and number were etched into the central area). By July 1915 the sales list showed disc numbers up to #183. The discs offered good reproduction of dance music and vocals, at a selling price of $0.10. [Blacker 1983/3-4 to 1986/4 is a label list; Rust 1978.]
