Billy Murray - Under the Anheuser Bush (1904) 

This has such good sound because this 78 rpm record was handled very well and has Billy Murray singing in his typical clear voice, you are bound to get good audio.

Ikr? Today's music is nothing but complaining and ranting!

Yeah better than most but not all. You literally just look at the top chart hits and say modern music is trash. Which I do agree, a lot of it is. Maybe actually try to look for some underground music and you’d realize that you’re completely wrong.

concordo querido, meu pai que o diga(I agree dear my father who says so.....)

Which goes to show corporate music goes way back

@@aileen9553 oh shit, someone better tell the Beatles and the Rolling stones and Led Zeppelin and Radiohead

only the world record age people would remember 1904

You r so right. I love this kind of music ❤

***** The gist of my original response was to point out the lack of simplicity and survivability of modern recording technology compared with that of 100+ years ago. Considering that we can still play a century old record, while our modern devices last only a few years, pretty much sums it up. As for records not being available, there is a huge collectors market today centered around the acquisition and preservation of these old relics, so there will most likely still be many available far into the future... long beyond the point at which modern storage medium (i.e. CD, DVD, Flash/Thumb, etc) has passed their compatibility or expected expiry... so modern music fans should hope that current recordings are constantly re-saved onto fresher medium, and that electricity and the devices necessary to record and playback digital recordings are still available and abundant, or it's back to Bill Murray and his Anheuser Bush we go... hand cranked. Miley who?

I'm all for progress and anything new, but at the same time believe its important to preserve stuff like this, just as renaissance art has been preserved through the ages. Art reflects the society and time its created in, and to quote Monuments Men, if you a cultures art vanishes its as if that culture never existed.

Welcome to the "Nostalgic Channel", all the greatest music of all time. New! for 2110! For Katy Perry, hit 2010s. For Pink Floyd, hit 1970s. For Nat King Cole, hit 1950s. For Billy Murray, tap for instructions on "listening to music before 1950". Enjoy! All the best. All the time!

Thanks Nucky.

I think this one was a cylinder. Glad you are growing up with great music, so did I!

CatsPjamas1 yes, judging by the way it sounds(pops and clicks)and the length and age ,it probably is. You may think I am trying to sound smarter than I an, but I am not. I introduced this music to the family when I was 5 because I liked 50s music but I just knew it was old. On RU-vid I looked for "old music" and I bumped across the 1920s. I have been collecting old records ever since, and thanks to generous gifts and discounts and great finds , I now have about 1000 records from the era ,and some in near mint condition . I have a few cylinders, but not a good player. Me and my dad record them and put them on CD because I love the music and want to bring it back and salvage the great old music. I have never broken or damaged an old record, and hope not to.

I also collect sheet music from back then and I have about 70 sheet musics from back then, along with a collection of pretty much everything from back then, including everyday things like boxes, hats and clothes,books and what they used as bookmarks. I have found perfect condition cards, letters and receipts, business cards ,ads , and lots of other things. I have commonly collected things , like furniture and coins , but the old music is my favorite thing from back then.

@@bilgedastogroup Very Interesting! There was also a drug addiction problem after the civil war. Understandably, civil war wounded veterans would carry their love for morphine into civilian life. At the time, morphine was hailed as a God send for pain. But it started to be marketed in patent medicines, and even over the counter pharmaceuticals Then came heroin, and cocaine. All perfectly legal to buy and use.
