About MeEdison Blue Amberol Record of the Moss-Squire Celeste Orchestra performing "You Made Me Love You (Monaco)", Number 23214. The record is cylinder-shaped and made of celluloid (a hard plastic) over a molded plaster core, stored inside a cylinder-shaped cardboard container. The audio recording was engraved onto the celluloid surface and was able to withstand hundreds of playings - as opposed the the wax surfaces on previous types of cylinder record - with only a moderate increase in surface noise. The recording lasts approximately four minutes.

Phonograph cylinders were the earliest commercial medium for recording and reproducing sound. The phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison on 18 July 1877. "Blue Amberol Records" - so named because of their trademark blue colour - was the name for cylinder recordings manufactured by the Edison company in the U.S. from 1912 to 1929.
