Set of two 12" 78 rpm records. One record has a decades old tight star crack that causes some slight umphs. Both records show signs of there century of life, scuffs, needle runs. Records play fine, about V+.
This is a 12-inch 78 rpm soundtrack disc for the "Photo-Drama of Creation" produced by Pastor Charles Taze Russell (of "Zion's Watch Tower") and the International Bible Students Association in 1914. The "Photo-Drama of Creation" is widely credited with being among the very first "feature" films to feature a pre-recorded soundtrack. More than a decade before Vitaphone made the sound-on-disc system practical by recording on 16-inch discs at 33 rpm, the "Photo Drama of Creation" used standard 12-inch 78 rpm discs. It seems someone would sit with a phonograph (or pair of phonographs) at the front of a theater where the film/photo-drama was being shown and play the records in loose sync with the film.
