Notes:
"Mark56 Records proudly presents this historical album of recorded sounds produced by the Father of the Phonograph Thomas Alva Edison. These performances have been electronically transferred from the original Edison cylinders and Diamond Disks by revolutionary process. This remarkable approach brings to listeners an extraordinary and overwhelming experience never before heard. These special series of recordings are the first voices and musical sounds ever recorded by man. Therefore, it is with extreme pride that Mark56 Records Gratefully acknowledges its privilege granted by the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation to perpetuate this very important art form, which covers from 1888, the earliest record in existence anywhere, to 1929."
