Here are the earliest electric numbers in various series:popular-52089light classical-80885classical/opera-82351German ethnic-57025Note that Edison had another operatic series that started at 82500; none of those are electrically recorded, so the electrical 82xxx records are between 82351 and 82360, the last of that particular series.The red star has nothing to do with electric recording. It was a flag to dealers that the company considered that record unlikely to sell well; hence, as the dealer had been warned, unsold 'red star' dealer stock was not returnable for credit, unlike the records not so marked. Curiously, some of the best DDs got the red star treatment.As to the recording quality, well, that's in the ear of the beholder. I have a few of the Edison electrics, and in general they sound quite good, although the earliest ones show signs that the company was still feeling its way with unfamiliar technology. The LP discs, now, really.do. sound inferior, but they were all dubbed acoustically from standard issues and played back with a sonically inferior reproducer.One last interesting tidbit: the sole commercial electric recordings of the celebrated soprano Frieda Hempel were two sides that she cut for Edison in early 1928.
