ABSTRACT

A one-minute disc made in Germany, sold in 1905 as Baby-Platten for 1 mark (two sides) and 0.75 mark (single side). It was distributed under the Baby name by the Compagnie Française du Gramophone in Paris, selling for 1 franc. The first repertoire consisted of marches, while later issues included waltzes and other instrumental modes. Baby discs, with a diameter 12.5 cm, could be played on any gramophone without the need for extra gadgetry.
