Had to look up what that is
Blue Amberol Records are made of blue celluloid around a plaster of paris core, and play for 4 minutes at 160 rpm.
Well hell that is just enough room for old Rock n Roll tune
I have a lot of old audio stuff but no way no how in my bucket list are was cylinders.

yeah, the youtube is a way to enjoy the cylinders. as for the tunes on them, carefully digitized versions are important as a way to propagate them and avoid playing the fragile objects.

My cat has been researching audio cylinder technology. I often find him in the bathroom making claw marks in the toilet paper roll and spinning it around and around while dragging his claws over it. He is his own worst critic though. After he writes one of his symphonies on the toilet paper, he will then decide it isn't good enough and unwind it on the floor before angrily ripping it up. Such is the way with all temperamental geniuses I hear.

I have the idea that if the Grand Canyon was decoded as though it was a gigantic record groove, it would be some kind of revelation
