See the catalog listing below for all available wax cylinder albums and special offer bundles. 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.
