Not realising of course that someone had already done so.

A recording of someone singing in 1860 has been digitalised into an audio recording again. For the first time in 150 years a woman singing Claire de Lune has been heard. I must say though, I don't think it would have sold many copies if it had been played back through speakers in 1860.

** Earliest ever sound recording **
The first piece of audio ever made, recorded in 1860, has been recovered and played back.
