A Phonograph Record - Gramophone Parlor for the 21st Century

The Mp3 files offered on this website represents some of the rarest and earliest titles from this collection. Every record has been digitally reproduced and restored by Meloware. These are NOT copies collected elsewhere from the internet.

Just for clarification, the term 'gramophone' was the original name for flat, disc records. These later became known as 78's, or 78 rpm records. The name 'phonograph' was the word given to Thomas Edison's audio recording machine. Cylinder records were what you played on a 'phonograph'. Flat, disc records were played on a 'gramophone'.

Each recording has been carefully hand-edited. On average, we spend more than an hour of engineering time, per minute of recording, in order to repair damage and get best sound.
Our hope is, that even a trained ear will not be able to tell where our work has been done. These records are presented in the most original form possible.
