Description
Offered here is a rare 1948 Voice-O-Graph Record created at the iconic Pennyland Recording Studio in New Orleans, dated October 17, 1948.
This one-of-a-kind recording was made on a Voice-O-Graph machine, an early 20th-century device that allowed individuals to record their voices onto vinyl discs. It comes with the original First Class Mail envelope postmarked from New Orleans.
- Recorded at Pennyland, 131 Royal Street, New Orleans, a legendary location in the history of music and culture in the city.
- This particular booth was also frequented by several notable figures, and Tennessee Williams, the acclaimed playwright, is known to have occasionally visited the studio.andit's a reminder of the artistic history associated with the space.
- Condition: The record and envelope show minor wear consistent with age but remain in excellent vintage condition for a piece of this nature.
- I don't know what type of message is on the records because I can't not play it because I read it recommends that is could damage the record. Not sure if it's true but leaving it open to buyer to play it. I hear people do digitalize them to listen to them.
This Voice-O-Graph is not only a personal message or musical keepsake, but also a rare piece of New Orleans and mid-century recording history. It’s a must-have for collectors of vintage audio, New Orleans memorabilia, or fans of Tennessee Williams and the artistic scene of the era.
