Eine illustrierte Geschichte der Tonaufzeichnung.

Vom Parlographen bis zum Mp3-Player, bzw. vom Wachszylinder bis zu Digitalaudio.

Sammler von historischen Tonträgern sowie der zugehörigen Abspielgeräte haben sich im Deutschen Grammophon-Club e.V. zusammengefunden. Recherche, Ersatzteilbeschaffung, Restaurierung, eine Börse (Rund um die alte Musik) und eine Vereinszeitschrift (Der Schalltrichter) ... und auf der Vereinsseite gibt es eine Reihe schöner Label und Kataloge zu Schellackplatten, Werbung von Grammophonherstellern sowie eine kleine Sammlung alter Künstlerphotos und Autogrammkarten. Dazu gibt es über die Galerie auch noch viele Hörbeispiele als *.rm bzw. *.mp3 und eine recht ansehnliche Linkliste rund um das Vereinsthema. [via koewi.log]

»The coin operated Scopitone juke box was invented and manufactured in Paris, France after World War II by Cameca and later in Chicago in the USA. The juke box showed low budget movie clips along with the music of the time featuring popular musicians of the sixties, such as Neil Sedaka, Nancy Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds. It has a facility for moving pictures as well as sound reproduction and is essentially electro-mechanical. In the front there are eighteen filmclips listed in its play selection. Scopitones were exported widely and were enjoyed by many at leisure in cafes, hotels and milk bars. However the complexity of the machinery, the expense of servicing them and the free entertainment value of home television contributed to their demise around 1967.«

Scopitones are the early 1960s precursors to today's music videos. They were distributed on color 16mm film with a magnetic soundtrack, and were made to be shown on a Scopitone film jukebox. The first Scopitones were made in France around 1960, and the Scopitone craze spread throughout Europe (particularly in West Germany and England) before crossing the Atlantic to the United States in mid-1964. By the end of the 1960s, they were gone. [ Scopitone Catalog ]

1877 - Edison made the first recording of a human voice ("Mary had a little lamb") on the first tinfoil cylinder phonograph Dec. 6 (the word "Halloo" may have been recorded in July on an early paper model derived from his 1876 telegraph repeater, but the paper has not survived) and filed for an American patent Dec. 24. John Kruesi built this first practical machine Dec. 1-6 from a sketch given to him by Edison that was made Nov. 29 (not on "Aug. 12" that Edison mistakenly wrote on another sketch in 1917).
