Audio - Pre-1914
Updated - Saturday, 7 August, 2004
This page of the Vintage Audio section of the website contains archive recordings of songs and speeches from the years immediately preceding the outbreak of war in 1914.
Each recording is titled along with its performer, together with the year of recording. All files are either in MP3 or WAV format; the file size is indicated in kilobytes. Sound quality is, alas, sometimes poor, indicative of the state of the then art of sound recording. Lyrics and the text of speeches accompany many files listed.
