From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A 175 mm (7-inch) single sided Emile Berliner Gramophone disc record. Made of hard rubber, stamped with the date September 16, 1897. The artist is George W. Johnson, the first prominent African-American recording artist, singing and whistling one of his specialties, "The Whistling Coon", with piano accompaniment. The disc has no label per se; the information print is impressed into the center of the disc. Berliner Catalogue # 196 Z. From a disc in Infrogmation's collection; plays at about 55rpm, poor balance in the original recording studio, with piano louder than voice.
