Very early recordings & records Thomas Edison invented the prototype of the phonograph in 1877 which he recorded his voice with which was his reciting Mary Had A Little Lamb. The invention was 1st used as a dictation machine in offices. In the 1890s is when 'photograph parlors' came into being. These were set up in public places and had a short recording of music which people paid 5 cents to listen to.

I wound up finding a couple of cylinders and cylinder cases at a yard sale, but the cylinder was cracked. Still, a pretty cool find for 5 bucks.
