520 1 $a"Like any profound technological breakthrough, the advent of sound recording ushered in a period of explosive and imaginative experimentation, growth and competition. Between the commercial debut of Edison's "talking machine" in 1889 and the first commercial radio broadcast three decades later, the recording industry was uncharted territory in terms of both technology and content." "This history of the earliest years of sound recording follows the story from the earliest efforts to capture sound to the fight among wire, cylinder and disk recordings for primacy in the market, to the growth and development of musical genres, record companies and business practices that remain current today. All told, it is the story of how a novel, expensive idea was developed into a highly marketable commodity." "Appendices list popular genre recordings made between 1889 and 1919. A bibliography and index accompany the text."--BOOK JACKET.
