This is a blog of stories and comments about early recording. Mainly, but not exclusively about early pioneer disc recording 1895 to 1925. After well over 40 years of collecting, interviewing, studying, digging through old notebooks, files, I am starting to put all of this on a blog. I will be adding much here and some of it will be seeing the light of day for the first time. So hoping you enjoy this journey on sound recording. Full speed astern!

One of the funniest old cartoons I ever saw from around 1910.
In the early days of the 20th century. The prima donna was the ruler of the operatic stage. one has to only think of Melba. But in this clever cartoon from around 1910, we have a fight going on between two great soprano records. One of the records is the great Louisa Tetrazzini and the other the witty Mary Garden. While these two Titans fight it out on the library table all the other records flee for cover.
