The University of California Santa Barbara, has uploaded a bunch of music recordings issued on the Edison label during the early years of the 20th century. The output of the record label was voluntarily released into the public domain years ago.
Here are a bunch of recordings from the 1900s of songs from musicals. Note: They aren't sung by the stage cast, but by the regular singers on the Edison label. Release dates are for the recording, not when the song was published.
I hope someone finds these interesting.
