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 Then, as today, a wide variety of music and entertainment was recorded.
Hear what it all sounded 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.
