Old music, Fun listening.......2007-02-11

Listening to the words of songs from the past lets me see through the eyes of those who wrote and sang them. I can picture the history that was their present. This disc has many songs from the turn of the century when recording was a new science. The quality of the recordings is rough, but I knew this when I bought it. I wanted to hear what they heard. Good historical value

Really great!.......2006-11-29

If this music is your type of thing (and of course, it isn't EVERYONE'S type of thing anymore), this disc is for you. Actually, ALL of the discs put out by Archeophone are fantastic. They manage to find very good-sounding discs and clean them up just enough to sound good but not ruin the music. (In other words, yes, there's some crackle here and there, but at least the music sounds clean and crisp instead of muffled, as can often happen with noise reduction.) If you're interested in more of their CD's, look them up on Amazon or go to their web site (which is the name of the company, plus .com). They've got samples of every track on every one of their discs.

I have almost all of their discs, so I have this review up on all of them.

Living and important musical history.......2004-11-28

Have you ever seen a science-fiction film in which the good guys are tapping into scenes from the past, catching only fleeting, scratchy, and nearly unintelligible moments? Or have you ever read that the past still exists somewhere in the 4th dimension just as solidly as the present exists right now? Well, when we see old photographs, we do have frozen moments from the times gone by. And when we hear really old recordings, we have aural moments, not frozen but flowing out of the speakers, from the times gone by.

All of which leads me to introducing you to two fascinating CDs from Archeophone's series The Photographic Yearbook, "The 1890s, Vol. 1" (ARCH 9004) and Vol. 2 (ARCH 9006).

Holding 30 selections each-some from cylinders, other from early discs-- these CDs give a portal to the past with such vocal gems as "A Hot Time in the Old Town," "Kiss Me Honey, Do," "She May Have Seen Better Days," "Oh Promise Me," and "The Band Played On," along with band renditions of pieces such as "El Capitan," "Anvil Chorus," and the March from "Tannhauser." Among the vocalists are Dan W. Quinn, Billy Golden, George W. Johnson, S.H. Dudley, and Marguerite Newton, one or two of which names might ring a bell with childhood memories of listening to these singers.

Some of these tracks are quite difficult to understand, given the age and condition of the cylinders used. However, their historical value is great, the whole experience a real time trip (and a "trip" in the slang sense also), and of great use to teachers who want their students to hear what recordings were like before rock and rap. So music and history departments, take note!

The booklets are very well done, crammed with the historical and sociological backgrounds to the works. That to Vol. 2 gives some of the lyrics also. Very user-friendly.
