Availability
'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!
