Interesting piece on the earliest rescued modern phonographic recordings from Volta Labs (A.G. Bell et al.), beginning in 1881.

The YT page gives access to all six recordings recovered to date.

I think I or someone posted a while back about Scott de Martinville's French phongram recordings (ca. 1860) from FirstSounds.
