Check out THE CYLINDER MUSIC SHOP! Recordings from 1885 forward. Some sound clips online-- and you know, the sound quality ain't bad!

And check out their CYLINDER OF THE MONTH ARCHIVE, which contains a bunch of downloadable full-song souhnd files.

There is also a pictorial tour of early sound facts and technical stuff!
