Looking for an early motion picture record.
Posted: Sun May 19, 2019 5:24 pm
Hello. Another passion of mine, alongside records, in early film antiques, such as old projectors, nitrate film etc...
But I read about something the other day was a really interesting crossover between two of my collecting interests: 78 records which were used in the earliest days of cinema, as a ay of creating early ''sound films''. What happened was the person was filmed, while at the same time speaking into a recording device, or the person was filmed speaking, and then the person spoke into a recording device at another point. Thus, when the record and film was played back it was like a sound film.
I have seen pictures of such records, but never for sale. Such brands include Cinephone or Vivaphone. I have attatched pictures of such labels.
Out of curiosity, have any members here ever encountered such records? Also, I don't suppose any of you know where I might find one for sale.
Any help would be much appreciated.
