Found ! Oldest recording of human voice

The inventor 'recorded' the song 17 years before Edison, but he was never able to play it back. He wanted to study it. The recording was played by getting high resolution digital scans, and converting them into sound at the Lawrence Berkley, National Lab using equipment used to preserve, and gain access to a wide variety of early recordings.

Heard the clip on the radio this morning...sounded like crap, and slightly creepy, but you could definitely tell it was a woman singing.
