This is the original 1908 recording of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," performed by Edward Meeker on Edison Records. This is an Edison Gold Moulded cylinder record, #9926. The cylinder is being played on my 1903 Edison Standard Phonograph. Considering that the cylinder is over 100 years old, the audio fidelity is quite remarkable! It plays loud and clear, all the way through, as you can hear for yourself. This cylinder is a significant artifact of both musical history and Americana.

I have to say KEEP THAT CYLINDER! I believe that that is the 1st version and extremely rare, but I could be wrong.
