Search - Various Artists :: Edison Sound Recordings - (Humorous Songs) Audio CD

As would be expected from the world?s first authentic sound recordings, the tracks on the Edison Sound Recordings - (Humorous Songs) Audio CD are far from Dolby standards. What is delightfully surprising is the fact that there is an amazing level of clarity. We must, at all times of browsing this CD collection, remember that we are listening to audio history here. It has been remarkably well preserved and superceded my own expectations as a sound engineer. The second pleasant surprise is the genuine entertainment value of this CDs content. There is real humor in the subject matter, artistic voice inflection for added effect and an overall aura of accomplished Vaudeville. This collection can be scanned from both a historical and pleasurable distraction perspective. It is evident that certain winning formulas in stand-up comedy - including the type of background music - have survived the test of time. Anyone who has seen Disney?s early Buena Vista cartoons will have an instant sense of déjà vu. This CD is highly recommended, especially for serious collectors of rare audio materials.
