Edison 4-minute cylinder…Let Us Not Forget: A Message to the American People “

Only a handful of recordings made by Thomas Alva Edison during his lifetime are included in the record catalog. One such recording features a speech he delivered to the American public after World War I and is now considered the most recognized example of Edison’s voice among collectors. Remarkably, Edison, who invented the phonograph, had never permitted his voice to be recorded for public release until this moment. He felt this message was important enough to make an exception to his usual policy. The cylinder, numbered 3756, is in excellent condition and captures the authentic voice of Thomas Edison. This rare recording is a must-have for any serious collector.
