Sorry, but they are "excellent examples" of early recording techniques reduced to low bitrate MP3 files uploaded to YouTube and likely heard over computer speakers. Even the electronic recordings that followed the acoustic horn recordings had a range of 100hz-5Khz, hardly what you're used to hearing post 1950.
