Comment. I don't know how much yellowing is generally acceptable or preferred, but this might be a reasonable case for a colour restoration - example added. I also think it would be nice to get some more context if it's obtainable - what does the "5" stand for? Which of the listed editions is this showing, or do they all have the same cover? etc. etc. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 15:17, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I can colour correct it a bit. I am not positive what the five means, it is on all the versions of the cover I have seen. There are multiple versions, this being the oldest I've seen. It is from 1897 and it almost certainly an original release. Other versions are like this [1]. The only difference is the picture of the singer, and the note at the top "Sung with great success by X" The singers were compensated for use of their image, in effect the singer endorsed the song to help fuel sales. That was fairly common then. I am aware of six different versions, this being almost certainly the first. The sheet music itself is also available at this quality on the commons. —Charles Edward ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 15:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
