          'Archaeo-Acoustica Fonografia', focuses onthe inception of ancient sound devices together with a study of the earliest years of mechanical recording. I have collected vintage recordings for several years and listened to many a performance resonating in my ears that appear to be attempts to record in a thunderstorm.The emphasis of this book is on the obscurity of the records and history of recording in the earliest days and on recorded repertoire Included is much information on obscure record companies,early recording artists and their repertoire.I have intentionally disregarded the main output of larger corporations because this information is readily available.On the other hand, I have included much information on the formation of early and obscure record companies and of the pioneers and invention of the phonograph.If you enjoy collecting records,or history.This book is for you!
