Federal copyright law protects sound recordings made after Feb 15, 1972. State laws may protect sound recordings made before that date. 1924 is a meaningless year in terms of copyright on sound recordings if the composition is PD.

I wonder why 1924? If it is all Mozart the underlying works are clearly in the public domain no matter what the age of the recording. Nothing changed in 1924 with respect to copyright on sound recordings (or more properly, the lack thereof).

The predominant opinion is that American copyright protects all sound recordings fixed before 1924 - though I'm not sure of those from 1923.
