This one is not an AA meeting, so if you need one pick a different episode. This is an interview conducted by an unknown AA member with James H a member of the Oxford Group (and AA) at the time Bill W was also a member. He was 90 years old at the time of the interview and is described as the last surviving member that worked with Bill W within the Oxford Group in the 1930s.
This was a phone interview recorded in Feb of 1996 and it had one of the nastiest hums I have yet had to deal with in a recording, I was able to remove it and clean it up but the recording does sound slightly hollow and as a result and you may need to adjust the volume a bit as it progresses.

This is credited as Bill W's First Recorded AA Talk in Little Rock Arkansas in 1947, the quality of the recording is pretty remarkable. I have no idea the location or event but from its tone it does not sound like an AA meeting, but Bill speaking about AA at a gathering.
Lois W is next speaking at an Atlanta Roundup Al-Anon Luncheon held in July of 1982. Lois was 91 years old at the time of this speak, she died in 1988 at 97 years old. Lois talks about Bills drinking, his inability to get sober and her hope he would. It is also great quality recording, there is a bit of pomp at the beginning and end.

Chuck C from Laguna Beach California speaking at Recovery Atlanta in December of 1980. Chuck was sober 35 years at the time of this speak and he was one of the more popular speakers around back then. This is a very good quality recording for as old as it is.
He became sober in 1946 and by the time he passed away in 1984 at 39 years sober he had given hundreds of speaks all around the world. The book - A new Pair Of Glasses - was a transcript of his speak at a mens retreat.

Frankie L from Baltimore Maryland was sober 32 years at the time he gave this speak on The Traditions. I have no information about where or when this was recorded but he does mention attending meetings with Bill W, so that gives a little context for the time he became sober. Hes also a pretty intense guy, but maybe passionate is a better descriptor?

Ester E started AA in Texas in 1943, her story was in the 2nd edition of the Big Book titled Flower of the South. She got sober in 1941 and passed away in 1960. This is a collection of four different speaks by Ester, the first is about 30 min long and the next three are about 5-10 min, I have no idea where or when they were recorded.
They are in various states of listen ability the first being the best, and I moved the worst one to the last position. I was able to clean up the overall recording quality pretty well on all but the last one it had a very bad hum and removing it left the last recording sounding a bit harsh and hollow.

This is Dr Bob the co-founder of AA telling the story about his first 14 years in AA. It was really interesting listening to him talk about that "notorious trip to Atlantic City" and the importance of service. This was recorded in 1949, the end if this speak (about the last 6 min) is a bit of Dr Bobs last talk in 1950. Repost from 2018.
There are no where near as many recordings of Dr Bob as there are of Bill W and the ones that are around are generally fairly bad, this one had a nasty hum, but it cleaned up really well and is one of the best I have heard of Dr Bob.

Sackvilel M from Dublin Ireland got sober in 1947 and passed away 1979. He was the author of the story in the big book called "The Career Officer". At the time of this speak held in Huston Texas at an unknown time he was sober just over 9 years. He tells his own story and the story of how AA started in Ireland, he was its 6th member. Good quality for an early recording.
