Enter none other than the person widely regarded as the most prolific inventor in history - Thomas Alva Edison and an invention which would change the history of sound recording - the phonograph.
Below is what was considered the first recording of a human voice meant for playback.
Mr. Edison spoke into the phonograph and recited the first stanza of childrens favorite "Mary had a little lamb" to test his invention. This was back in 1877, making it second audio recording to be successfully made and played back and whats more exciting is the fact that it is mindblowingly clear! Just listen!
"The first words I spoke in the original phonograph. A little piece of practical poetry. Mary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go."
Now this is how you make history!
