Commentary

Ce jeton servait à cette société d'édition musicale pour faire payer l'entrée aux chanteurs amateurs désireux de se faire graver un disque qu'ils interprétaient et avec lequel ils repartaient. C’est ce qui s’appelait une “audition”.
This token was used by this music publishing company to charge entry to amateur singers who wanted to have a record recorded, which they performed and took home with them. This was called an “audition.”
