Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Before disc records, there were wax cylinders that had to be made one at a time--until a man named Thomas Lambert of Chicago devised a method for mass producing cylinders out of celluloid. Here is a found collection from the U.S. Midwest of 22 of these incredibly rare records, all dating to about 1902. It is a perfect cross-section of popular music and performers from the turn of the 20th century, featuring recording pioneers Harry Macdonough, Joseph Natus, Arthur Collins, Steve Porter, and an ensemble called the American Quartet that included members of the Haydn Quartet. There are whistling solos, band pieces, comedy sketches, vocal duets and quartets, and a cornet solo by Otto Mesloh, formerly of Sousa's Band. Classics of the South during the Civil War are here, such as "Dixie Land," along with American standards, such as "The Mocking Bird" and "In the Good Old Summer Time," and the sacred hymn "Lead Kindly Light." You will be listening to the type of entertainment common to American homes 100 and more years ago, filled with awe at the peculiar sounds that our ancestors found gratifying and humorous. Often, those sounds were coarse and racist, and they're all here, blemishes uncensored.

Product Description
A treat for collectorsand an introduction for non-collectors The Pink Lambert gathers 22 of these rare cylindersthe first time Lambert cylinders have ever been commercially released on CDand packages them with liner notes relating the history of the Lambert Company, from the innovation of the celluloid cylinder to the lawsuits that tore the company down. The booklet also includes discographical information and images of the cylinders. And since the songs are all gathered from a single collectionthese cylinders came as a lot of 22you can see what records an average person might have listened to in 1902. A Time Not Long After the Civil War Songs from the war were still much in the popular imagination at the turn of the century, so that's what the recording industry gave the public. Selections included here, such as "Dixie Land "The Soldier's Farewell," "Tramp! Tramp! Tramp!" and "Sing Me a Song of the South," were typical fare for all the record companies of the period. Listeners also wanted patriotic and traditional songs, and again, with numbers such as "War Song Medley and "Wearing of the Green" Lambert demonstrated his desire to meet the public's taste. Bringing the Outdoors Inside The earliest recordsand these Lamberts are no exceptiondemonstrate to us the desire of pioneer artists to move beyond the limits of the medium. They wanted to give us live-action scenes in our own homes in a compact two minutes of recording time. Be warned, however: some of these routines express racially derogatory views. We urge historically-minded people of conscience to sift through this material and be critical of it, while understanding the age that produced it. Remarkable Clarity The wide variety of selections here attest to the innovative Lambert manufacturing process. Pink Lamberts have a brilliance superior to wax cylinders of the day.
