Rare Thomas Edison Recording – Blue Amberol 3756 Cylinder “Let Us Not Forget” (Excellent Condition)!

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

This historically important Edison cylinder is one of the very few recordings ever made by Thomas Alva Edison himself. Only a tiny number of Edison‑voiced recordings were ever issued, and this example—Blue Amberol No. 3756, “Let Us Not Forget: A Message to the American People”—is widely regarded as the most authentic and recognizable Thomas Edison recording available to collectors today.

Despite inventing the phonograph, Edison famously refused to allow his own voice to be released commercially. It was only after World War I, believing this patriotic message to be of national importance, that he made a rare exception. This cylinder captures Edison’s genuine voice exactly as it was heard more than a century ago, making it one of the most historically meaningful and rare phonograph cylinders ever produced.

This particular example is in excellent condition, offering strong playback quality and preserving the original tonal character of the Blue Amberol format. High‑grade copies of this recording are scarce, and demand among collectors of early sound recordings continues to grow.

For anyone building a serious collection of Edison cylinders, early American recordings, or historically significant phonograph material, this piece stands as a true cornerstone—an exceptionally rare opportunity to own an original, authentic recording of Thomas Edison himself.
