This vintage sheet music collection from Edwin H. Morris & Co. offers a fascinating glimpse into the popular music landscape of the early 20th century. Published during the golden age of Tin Pan Alley, when songwriting teams churned out countless hits for vaudeville and Broadway, these “34 Hit Parade Extras” represent the musical zeitgeist of their era.

For collectors, this compilation holds particular appeal as a time capsule of an influential publishing house that played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of early 20th century popular music. The wear and fading on the cover only add to its vintage charm, while the clean pages and secure binding ensure these melodies can still be enjoyed and appreciated by modern audiences. Whether for research, performance, or simply a nostalgic journey through a bygone musical era, this collection is a treasure trove for music enthusiasts and cultural historians alike.
