$15.00
Item: CD-bwNA
Experience the beginnings of the commercial phonograph industry as the
North American Phonograph Company and its regional companies created
the recorded music America listened to.
The bulk of these recordings were intended for coin-in-the-slot "nickelodeons" or
exhibition purposes, as phonographs were not yet economically practical in most homes.
