[78-L] early recordings

[Malcolm]

A friend has inquired about possible CDs that have material on them
from the earliest days of recording, c. 1895 to c. 1915. I sent him the
link for the Sooy brothers stint at Victor and he's interested in hearing
about what he's read.
I found the narrative wonderful and educational, as did he.
So what CD would be most indicative of this early commercial period
in our recorded history?
