Classic Recordings from the 1920s and 30s

This compact disc was compiled from extremely rare old 78s, which have been remastered to produced the best possible sound. However, the listener is advised to approach this CD in its historical perspective realizing that there are some imperfections and noise in the original recordings. These should be viewed as being of minor consequence in view of the considerable musical and historical importance of this project.

Original recordings are from the collections of Richard Nevins, Joe Bussard, Frank Mare, Dave Freeman, Eugene Earle and Don Kent.
