"The first words I spoke in the original phonograph. A little piece of practical poetry. Mary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go."
Yeah, I think you're all right, this must be a reenactment and as far as I can tell, the original really was never saved. Oh well, I think we (I at least) learned something new today ;)
@h8cr he has a point since he said the first words i spoke in the original phonograph, to me it dosent seem like he would say this during the first time recording sound, but I could be wrong.
@h8cr Not wanting to intervene, but there is a piece missing; in the very original (heard it on cassette/tape), Edison guffaws after reading the poem :)
It must be a reenactment. He is an old man when he recorded this and he introduces this as if this is a reenactment.

@Lokalaskurar edit: the very VERY original was not saved, pardon my language. But just as the reenactment in 1927, there were early reenactments.

@hotbreeze2
Now I'm proper confused :) it seems this is a recording of the reenactment you mentioned...Nice catch. Any source for the original?

@h8cr the more I look into it, I think this is a re-enactment too.
