Wax cylinders??

Long before MP3s or vinyl LPs, back in the early 1900's, if you wanted to buy music records you likely bought a wax cylinder record and played it on your wind-up phonograph. No microphones or electronics: no electricity at all - just mechanically acoustically powered music.

Then, as today, a wide variety of music and entertainment was recorded.

Hear what it all sounded like. And enjoy tunes, so old they're "new". Plus, you won't need a phonograph (antique or modern) - these fragile recordings have been carefully preserved for you here on a USB MP3 music flashdrive.

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 Glenn Sage (Tinfoil.com) - not taken from outside sources - and without the need for or use of obtrusive digital filtering, so you are getting "the real thing".

Each album contains over one hour of two-minute wax cylinder selections (except for the Ira Sankey album), includes selection notes, plus a brief history of wax cylinder recording.
