Isn't this the "Music" section? It seems an appropriate place to discuss modern sound retrieval methods for certain records.

George P.

Yes, it is. This thread began with Rich sharing the good news of having been able to acquire these wonderful cylinders. His Yankee Trader thread is a separate one that came later.

Is it just the camera or me? They look like purple cylinders. Here I one f my pink lamberts for comparison.

It's just the bright white florescent lighting Ronnie.

Rich Gordon

That's what I thought too, but they sure look purple? Great score Rich.

I'd be loathe to play those, too. They just too dang purty.

That Concert really catches my eyes. Besides Lambert, who else in history produced indestructible 5" cylinder?

Edison and Columbia.

Edison and Columbia 5" cylinders were made from brown wax.

George P.

You get me every time George. I missed Indestructible. We also have Vulcan and Phoenix but as we all know, these are new cylinders.

I never see a black Lambert 5". Any variety in color? Did Lambert continued producing 5" indestructible Concert when its American branch had closed and moved to U.K? Thanks
