Jeffrey Taylor and Victrola Favorites this wednesday at 9 pm
Jeffrey Taylor and Robert Millis or the local experimental music group Climax Golden Twins are also great compilers of music of a bygone era and far away places. They collect REALLY GREAT 78 rpm shellac records. This is world music (including america) from the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. They previously released these on cassette and now have made a ‘best of’ two CD set called “Victrola Favorites”, that comes in an extremely handsome 144 page hard cover book full of 78 curio, covers, and needle box pictures.
I like this record so much I am playing the whole thing this wednesday at 9 pm (again thursday at 10am) and have managed to talk Jeffrey Taylor into coming and talking about the process of putting this together.
Not to be missed. Must be pretty good If I am willing to make basically a 2-hour long advertisement for it.
man, that sounds so awesome! it reminds of the american museum of radio and electricity in bellingham, which is now a cool, city-sponsored and funded museum but used to just be this weird hole in the wall shop with old radios and weird electronics from the 40’s and below… they have a low power fm radio station that you can only really listen to downtown that plays this kind of music exclusively. SO GOOD! they broadcast on shoutcast here, and play old time radio dramas on top of the great old time tunes. if folks are in bham ever, they should check the place out: www.amre.us
