Notes

Issued by the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation to commemorate the installation of Edison in the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at NY University, New York City on June 4, 1961.

Advanced copies are accompanied by a letter from the Edison foundation (Harry L. Cherry)
These performances have been electronically transferred from the original Edison cylinders and Diamond Disks by revolutionary process. This remarkable approach brings to listeners an extraordinary and overwhelming experience never before heard.
