OWNER(s):
TIMESPAN: 1930s-1960s
MISC NOTES: Wilcox-Gay is one of many brands of blank recordable discs that the public bought in order to cut "instant disc" recordings on cuttting machine/playback turntables, so they could quickly listen to what they'd just recorded. Although mostly used by amateur enthusiasts at home -- some commercial audio studios also used them as "reference discs" so that their clients could go home and review what they'd recorded.
MISC NOTES: Info captured from disc label as seen on YouTube. Evidently this audio was recorded by Stan & Rachiel Freeland who had penned a poem and sent it in for Haglund to read aloud on his radio show. That broadcast was then then recorded onto an acetate "instant disc."
