Re: You have got to be kidding me.
A "rare" cylinder, indeed... I have the first Beatles cylinder, but wish I had found this Elvis before it sold.

Re: You have got to be kidding me.
There are some guys around who have made very good dubs of popular records onto cylinders-but this is probably from some hobbyist with a recorder

The insanity is the sale price of $226.50... Shawn Borri can make you anything you want on brown wax for under $50...

Re: You have got to be kidding me.
Not one of my records, this one has some mold spots on it indicating that it was probably recorded by some hobbyist, maybe even in the 50's- 70's judging from the spots. I have only made single spirals since late 2011 and double spiral since 2013, so not mine., It would be interesting if they would have uploaded it playing. And yes I make records on my blanks for 35.00 each in the U.S. shipping included.

Re: You have got to be kidding me.
Actually, Elvis took a trip to a time machine, because he heard Edison was paying big money to record big time stars. He wanted to get an exclusive contract with Edison, because he payed a lot more than Berliner. This is the brown wax era, so it was a choice between cylinders and Berliners.
