DescriptionIrving Berlin - Arthur Fields - Oh! How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning.ogg
"Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning", a song by Irving Berlin produced on U.S. Army time for the Army benefit show, Yip Yip Yaphank (1918). I believe the version used in the show used the opening verse from the Irving Kaufman recording; the opening verse here was probably made for publication.
This is Edison Blue Amberol #3639, which was created using Edison Diamond Disc matrix #6287.
Date
Originally written in 1918, this recording is from 1919.

Not all audio files are "sound recordings". Sounds accompanying a motion picture or other audiovisual work are not sound recordings under U.S. copyright law. Use this template's equivalent, {{PD-US-expired}}, for works that are not sound recordings.
Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
The assets of Edison Records have been transferred to the National Park Service. These recordings may be considered public domain through the donation (this is unclear), or otherwise orphan works as copyright has not been asserted by the National Park Service or any successors to Edison Records.
Sound recordings that were first published prior to January 1, 1924 are in the public domain in the United States. For Edison Records recordings that were published before 1924 and that do not incorporate preexisting copyrighted material, the template {{PD-US-record-expired}} may be applicable.
Note: The restored MP3 versions of the recordings from the University of California Santa Barbara Library are available only under an unacceptable non-commercial license.[1] Unedited raw (.wav) versions were formerly available from that site under a dedication into the public domain; while they are no longer available, those .wav files downloaded before the change in policy (dated June 2009) can still be used freely.
