This recording is protected by state copyright laws in the United States.
Thus, state copyright law governed protection for unpublished works, but published works, whether containing a notice of copyright or not, were governed exclusively by federal law.
If you believe the legalese at the Library of Congress National Jukebox, even recordings made in the year 1900 AD, almost 112 years ago, are still protected under "state copyright laws".
Those include prior federal legislation, such as the Copyright Act of 1909, and extend to all relevant common law and state copyright laws.
Sound recordings made before 1972 are under the jurisdiction of state copyright laws which provide perpetual protection.
