As many of you will know, an acetate of this recorded by Buddy in 1956 exists but Buddy himself scratched it deeply in case it violated his Decca contract. In Sunday's Observer newspaper here in England, I came across an article about how scientists have managed to listen to the first ever recording of anything anywhere. It was made in 1860 - 17 years before Edison patented the phonograph. It used the same basic technique as the phonograph. However, rather than recording the sound onto a wax cylinder, it recorded a visual image by scratching lines on a piece of smoked paper. Scientists at the Lawrence Berkerley National Laboratory (somewhere in the USA, I guess) have just used a technology to play recording without touching the surface ... which made me think of Buddy's recording and whether it could be read and converted into digital form.
