[quote:1m59rya4]Oldest surviving recordings

Frank Lambert’s lead cylinder recording of an experimental talking clock is thought to be both the oldest surviving sound recording and the oldest surviving playable recording.[2] A recording of a speech by Lord Stanley at the 1888 Toronto Agricultural Fair[3] and a recording of Handel’s choral music from June 29, 1888 at The Crystal Palace in London (the oldest surviving musical recording)[4] are other early examples of recorded sound. These last two sound recordings survived because they were re-recorded onto later formats.[/quote:1m59rya4]

so don’t think it is still around then.

shame though

thanks thomas edison!
