However, some off the lesser known artists have seen their best releasing on this label.<br /> <br />Where to get them: being out of print for a long time, use all your online searching skills, They are all available on Spotify, too.Ehsan Khoshbakhthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005110975164267813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462627331876782474.post-45441517174617261412014-11-04T00:57:09.509+00:002014-11-04T00:57:09.509+00:00I absolutely adore music from the phonograph era, ...I absolutely adore music from the phonograph era, and my CD collection holds audio from the 1880s through the end of WWII and beyond.<br /><br />A few questions regarding this discog (thank you so much for providing it!):<br /><br />Is this discog complete, covering the 935(?) releases from the CC label? I plan to pick and choose my artists, and if this discog is complete, it makes my work that much easier I'm only interested in certain artists and genres, and only go past my 1945-cutoff if I really like a particular sound.<br /><br />Which of these artists have had the CC material re-released elsewhere? I'm curious as to whether or not there are alternate takes on these collections that do not appear elsewhere on disc; I know that Mildred Bailey's material has been issued on the MOSAIC label, but that 10-disc set is also OOP. <br /><br />Music is like a historically-contextual jigsaw puzzle for me, and each take is an individual piece of the puzzle. It's fun to hunt for rare items, but it can get frustrating when media goes out-of-print. While digital issues are nice (better that than nothing at all, and FLAC/MP3 can sound decent), true album collectors are robbed of the pleasure that comes from handling box set artwork and engaging liner-note booklets.<br /><br />If anyone knows where I may gain access to this material (preferably on disc, irrespective of label), or would be so kind as to steer me towards discovering more material, please feel free to email spragues2828 via Gmail.

As a compiler of jazz programmes here in Germany, (WDR 4)they are valuable both for reference and for programming (for the latter I need to know what the original label was and come up with LC (Label Code) numbers, needed for broadcasting. Anyway, enough of that. Thanks to whomever issues these recordings. The various record companies whose products are used of course have absolutely no (financial) interest in issuing these things themselves. Most are only interested in recordings that can earn their keep within months, not years and years.<br />cheers,<br />andrew carnegieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
