      Not a proper digitization, though. A proper record transfer is a direct line transfer with your turntable hooked up directly to your computer.

    That label design, with the broken lines may have been an early strobe disc to help set the speed, which should be about 80 rpm, for Columbia records

    Somewhere in my hoard of 78s I have Climax no. 80 ('Barber of Seville' Overture, black & gold label, also by the Climax Band) and Columbia no. 133 ('The Man Behind the Gun' March, unidentified band), but there is something special in the very first disc record made by this once great company. Thank you for making it available!

    What a wonderful find! The quality of these early Columbia/Climax recordings is amazing, especially since they manage to get a good sized orchestra in there, when, for other companies, vocal with piano accompaniment, was more usual. A while back I uploaded a 'Climax' 'The Wedding Of The Rueben And The Maid' by Harry MacDonnough, which again, has good sized orchestral accompaniment.

    I have lots of Edison recordings, including Mr. Edison "Let us not Forget"; Ted Roosevelt; President McKinley on brown wax, and stacks of brown wax cylinders;; President Woodrow Wilson; Florence Nightingale; Berliner discs; Zonophone 7" discs, etc.. No idea what 2 do with them.
    Thoughts?

    I can remember having to change the needle every 12 plays!!! A pain in the ass
    for a 5 or 7 year old kid!!! Needles came in packs of 25! Mid 1950s. I also had
    a state of the art RCA 45 RPM phonograph! Vinyl so sucks!!!

    I've never seen a video of this record, I was aware of it's existence though. You had it running way too fast.

  • @digitalmetadata1
    @digitalmetadata1 6 років тому

    Sounds fast. I suspect it should be running closer to 68 to 72 rpm.

      It is single sided. Practically all records were single sided until Columbia devised the "Double Disc" record in 1908.

      IS THAT COLUMBIA 'PHONOGRAPH' OF THE SAME VINTAGE OF THE DISK? YES, IT'S CHARMING TO SEE AND HEAR THE ORIGINAL DISK BEING PLAYED ON IT. I'M NOT A 'COLLECTOR' OF PHONOGAPHS. BUT I STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT THIS IS AN EARLIER VINTAGE MACHINE. SHOULD IT NOT HAVE AN EXTERNAL HORN TO BE HISTORICALLY CORRECT? THE CRITIQUE IS UTTERLY CORRECT ABOUT NOT PLAYING ESPECIALLY RARE SHELLAC DISKS ON PRIMITIVE PHONOGRAPHS SUCH AS THIS. WITH EXCEPTIONS, THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE PLAYBACK SYSTEM WAS TO WEAR (NOT MALICIOUSLY) THE PLAYING SURFACES. ONE SUCH EXCEPTION WAS COLUMBIA'S MARCONI-VELVETONE FLEXIBLE DISK (1906). THEY HAD SUBSTANTIALLY LESS NOISE. THEIR PATENT FOR IT PRESAGED THEIR EXQUISITELY LOW NOISE LAMINATED DISKS 20+ YEARS LATER. FOR VARIOUS REASONS, IT WAS A COMMERCIAL FAILURE. TO APPRECIATE THE BRUTE FORCE OF WHAT YOU SEE BEING USED IN THIS DEMONSTRATION, PLACE YOUR OPENED HAND (FACE UP) WHERE THE NEEDLE (CACTUS OR STEEL) SHOULD BE LOWERED ONTO THE DISK. THEN LET THAT NEEDLE HIT (IN OUNCES) YOUR FLESH. AFTER DAUBING YOUR BLOOD AND TREATING THE WOUND, DO A COMPARABLE PROCEDURE WITH A
      CONTEMPORARY CARTRIDGE. DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES WITH VARIOUS SIZES AND SHAPES OF DIAMOND STYLI,
      WITH FORCES MEASURED IN A FEW GRAMS. MAKE ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR HOW MUCH OF THAT GROOVE IS TRULY LATERAL OR SOME OTHER VECTOR. WHICH WOULD YOU PREFER TO REPEATEDLY DO TO YOUR SHELLACS? ALSO, USING A MICROPHONE TO REPRODUCE THE SOUND OF AN ACOUSTICAL SYSTEM NECESSARILY ADDS THE ACOUSTICS OF THE ROOM (WHICH INCLUDE NOISES MADE BY THE CHARMING OLD MACHINES) TO YOUR PLAYBACK. BECAUSE ANY NEW DIGITAL MASTERS MIGHT EVENTUALLY ENABLE RESULTS EVEN BETTER RESULTS THAT WE CAN NOT NOW HOPE FOR, SUCH TRANSFERS MUST NOT BE DONE WITH ANY FILTERING, NOISE SUPPRESSION, ETC. IMAGINE IF THE METAL THAT WAS USED TO PRESS THIS DISK SURVIVED INTACT AND WAS USED TO BYPASS ALL OF THE INTERVENING PRIMITIVE EQUIPMENT. THEN YOU WOULD BE UTTERLY ASTONISHED BY THE FIDELITY OF WHAT THEY WERE RECORDING, WITHOUT ELECTRONICS, 117 YEARS AGO. YET ANOTHER SOURCE OF PLAYBACK SANS NEEDLES AND OR STYLI MIGHT
      BE THE NORTH KOREAN AND OTHER BRAINTRUSTS' INCREDIBLE EXPERTISE WITH DIGITAL (I.E. FACIAL
      RECOGNITION) TECHNOLOGY. THEY, PUTIN AND TRUMP COULD DEMAND RESIDUALS FOR THESE AUDIO
      RESURECTIONS. AND NOW, LET'S THINK ABOUT MAGNETIC AND OPTICAL RECORDINGS...
