The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Yes folks, another very specific thread. Has anyone ever come across a commercially made cylinder where someone recorded a quick message before or after the song on the dead wax?

That was fun and interesting.

I have a record where the owner jokingly said "This Record was made by Jay West" then the real announcement came in. I will have to find it and put on the North American Phonograph Company youtube channel.

Then there’s people who recorded over commercial recordings...Whomever Frank Embree was, he did this to many records back in the late 1890s
