High Price for Charles Edison Disc

Post by Valecnik »

I'd never heard of this disc before but am also surprised at the price it went for.

Sorry I should pay better attention. :oops:

Too much time working and not spending enough time on the hobby!

Me too :)
I love special records! Especially when I haven't heard of them before.

Paal.

I love any record I haven't heard before but at that price I can hear a lot of things I haven't yet got.

I've actually got a copy of this disc, so was following the auction - had no idea it would sell for such a price. it's an odd recording by the way, the side with charles edison speaking about the ediphone... a little eerie as well, if you've got the speed right, it's almost as though the man is there talking to you.

Thats the beauty of Edison Disc, the realism is striking.
