College puts 10,000 cylinder recordings online
mainThe University of California, Santa Barbara’s Cylinder Audio Archive has put up a new website with over 10,000 cylinders to download or stream for free.
Today’s cylinder of the day is Billy Murray, ‘He’d have to get under’. Lovely.
There’s also an archive of opera cylinders, formerly belonging to Gordon Getty. Here.
This isn’t new. The UCSB cylinder site has been around for ages. The late critic and writer William Moran’s cylinder collection has been available for a long time.
