I've recovered audio from quite a few of these.  They play along the top of the groove walls.  At best they go up to maybe 2.5K.

Dennis - Actually, this is not true. Victor introduced pre-grooved recording 
blanks by 1931. They were a plastic-like material - I used to have some of 
them. The modulations were not cut but stretched into the record. I 
understand they were self-erasing - I guess due to memory in the material 
itself.-Mickey Clark

Except for the wax cylinder, there was no instantaneous recording medium
before aluminum discs were introduced in the late twenties (well after
1925). Their acceptance was limited due to their heavy surface noise.
Cellulose (later Acetate) Lacquer flowed onto aluminum discs was the first
instantaneous medium to find acceptance in recording and broadcasting
entities, but they were not in use until 1934-35.
