The great Enrico Caruso sings "Campane a Sera (Ave Maria)". Victrola Red Seal 88615 -- 12-inch record. This is one of several single-sided 78rpm records that I saved from the garbage earlier this summer.
The audio and the video were recorded separately, then synced together as best as I could. This was to ensure the best possible sound quality of these videos. No mixing or editing was done to the raw sound files. All pops, clicks and surface noise of the shellac are as they appear on the record, and honestly, I'm surprised a recording of this age still sounds so good.
