WONDERFUL LABEL AND QUITE OLD ANTIQUE RECORDING!!!! FROM WIKIPEDIA: FONOTOPIA RECORDS OR DISCHI FONOTIPIA WAS AN ITALIAN GRAMOPHONE RECORD LABEL ESTABLISHED IN 1904 WITH A CHARTER TO RECORD THE ART OF LEADING OPERA SINGERS. THE RECORDS MADE BY FONOTIPIA ARE PRIZED BY COLLECTORS AND MUSICOLOGISTS FOR THEIR HIGH TECHNICAL QUALITY AND FOR THE HIGH ARTISTIC MERIT AND INTEREST OF MUCH OF WHAT WAS CAPTURED FOR POSTERITY. THE RECORDS WERE LATERAL NEEDLE-CUT OF THE USUAL KIND, STARTING AT THE OUTER DEGE, AND PLAYING SPEEDS AT OR NEAR 78RPM. FROM THE OUTSET, FONOTIPIA'S OUTPUT WAS DISTINQUISHED BY THE USE OF UNUSUAL RECORD SIZES BEING IN THE 27CM OR TEN AND THREE QUARTER INCH FORMAT AND MOST WERE MADE IN THE EARLY 1900'S AND ARE SOME OF THE OLDEST ROUND RECORDS MADE!!!----------------------------------------_______PLEASE NOTE THESE RECORDS I WILL BE LISTING ARE CONSIGNMENTS FROM A COUPLE OF ELDERLY OPERA BUFFS, AND AS I DON'T HAVE A RECORD PLAYER, CAN NOT VERIFY THIS, BUT THEY ASSURE ME THEY ARE PLAYABLE WITH SCUFFS AND RUBS AND IN FAIR OR BETTER CONDITION. SOME OF THEM LOOK WONDERFUL, SOME NOT SO, BUT MOST PEOPLE COLLECT THESE FOR THE LABELS. I HAVE DOZENS OF THESE I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR SO, SO KEEP ME ON YOUR FAVORITES LIST!!
