Although wax cylinders were originally recorded acoustically, they have been reproduced here directly from the original cylinders using a digital process that captures all the available sound.

• Each cylinder recording was individually preserved and edited by Tinfoil.com – not taken from outside sources – and without the need for or use of obtrusive digital filtering.   This assures consistently high-quality recordings.

• These digitally preserved wax cylinder recordings have the best sonic clarity available on commercial CDs.   No noise reduction filters are used, so you're getting the "real thing" – and not what someone else thinks they should sound like.

Each volume includes: Shrink-wrapped high-quality CD containing over one hour of two-minute wax cylinder selections recorded digitally directly from the original wax cylinders for the best possible sound. Selection notes & commentary, plus a brief history of wax cylinder recording.

Exception: Volume scIS runs less than one hour and does not contain a history of wax cylinder recording.
