For a while it was possible to pay Elwood Edwards to record a short message (https://web.archive.org/web/20080613203307/http://www.makinw...). In 2002, I had him record "Mail classified by POPFile" for my POPFile machine learning email classifier (https://getpopfile.org).
You can listen to it here: https://soundcloud.com/john-graham-cumming/mail-classified-b...
I paid $30 for that. And him saying "Use the source, Luke!"
Ok. I’m glad I clicked those. I know it’s his voice. But still worth hearing.
His voice sounds a bit higher pitched than the famous 90s recordings. I wonder if that's a product of the original recording equipment or format used to store it, or something like that.
This is beautiful. I wish I knew this eons ago!
