Innovation or Bust: A Short History of Recorded Music

Jonathan Wheeldon

Chapter 2 in Patrons, Curators, Inventors and Thieves, 2014, pp 29-58 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is not the purpose of this book to recount in detail the fascinating but complex twists and turns of the international recording industry since Edison triggered the start of the race in 1877 with his tinfoil cylinder. There are several books which document this very well, such as Roland Gelatt’s early history, The Fabulous Phonograph (1955), or Mark Coleman’s more modern journalistic account From the Victrola to the MP3 (2005), to name just two.
