#MusicMonday: Berliner & National Gramophone Companies 1890's

#MusicMonday is dedicated to disc albums, also called records and the birth of the recording industry.

"The recorded sound-component of the Berliner Collection consists of several hundred disc albums produced by the Berliner Gramophone Company. These records represent one of the first successful attempts to mass-market and commercially distribute popular sound recordings. All the Berliner discs were produced from the mid-1890s to 1900."
