Just over 100 years ago, Emile Berliner invented the gramophone and
disc record. This is the first discography assembled of the first
disc recordings in the United States. It documents over 3,000
discs, which were sold to the American public from 1892 to 1900.
Listings are arranged by catalogue number and cross-indexed by
title, performer, and recording date. The gramophone discs are
valuable research tools in the study of popular culture, providing
objective data about what was offered to the public, and how it was
performed. Since this information has never been published,
scholars may well find new materials. Berliner's successor was the
Victor Talking Machine Company (an ongoing Greenwood discography
series). An introductory essay discusses the earliest years of the
invention and the repertoire appearing on the discs. Their physical
properties are noted and illustrated with photographs of the
records. A descriptive bibliography guides readers to other books
and articles of interest. Another section lists Berliner Gramophone
records that have been reissued on long-playing and compact discs.
This volume will be of interest to gramophone record collectors,
record archives, and music libraries, as well as to scholars, music
students, and buffs.
