On "Blues Records" the entry for W.C. Handy suggests that the other Handy sides are on a book "Jazz Records 1897-1942", which I assume is the book by Brian A....
... Brian Rust's book is in its sixth edition, under the title Jazz & Ragtime Records 1897-1942, published by Mainspring Press, Highlands Ranch, CO, who can be...
I love the archive, but have not been able to listen to any of the .ram files in many months. I thought perhaps it was a problem with a new version of...
Hello Greg I think the problem has more to do with realaudio and your own configuration (firewall?) than it has with the archives, maybe you could find a clue...
Found an Italian CD in my collection from 1993 entitled "Scott Joplin Jazz Portraits CD 14518." There is absolutely no information on the cover except for a...
I've just had some disturbing news from Red Lick, a British based music mail order company, who specialise in blues, jazz and old time country. They say: ...
I heard - through the grapevine - that the Rounder/Morton set was pulled because of complaints regarding the poor quality of the transfers - and that they will...
... I just started listening to the Rounder boxed set I received for Christmas, and the quality (so far, through the first half of the first of 8 CDs) is just...
On another list, there was discussion that the earlier Rounder 4-CD set was much better than the complete - and that the material provided by the Library of...
Until someone started to complain about the quality of the new boxed set I had not even considered the issue! I have heard the entire thing from start to...
Well, it is an issue if you have the LP version (the last restored by John RT Davies) and wonder if the new set is worth the investment, i.e. in terms of...
Is this a "Giants of Jazz" compilation? Maybe a track list would provide clues. I rather doubt that 78-l would help much further, since these are presumably...
Hi, Does anyone know how I can get copies of the following 78 RPM records: Billy Murray - Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis Ambrose and his Orchestra - Stormy...
Hi! I am a vintage 78 rpm record collector and just love the Red Hot jazz Site! Hope to meet some fellow members that share the same interests! Please get...
Given the mass of pre release publicity, and the fact that no-one else has mentioned poor sound, I'd think it most unlikely that Rounder pulled the set for...
Yes, a track listing would be necessary in this case. It could also be sourced from a BYG album that came out in the 70s that was of this kind. Or if you...
I appreciate the efforts from the people that replied to my query. Here are the tracks (misspellings I assume reflect Italian, or poor proofreading): The...
The BYG Uncle Dave mentioned would usually be stolen from Biograph, Riverside or London. The noise Mordechai mentions could equally be from LPs. I've put the...
Thanks Michael. On the CD are dates by the year for each composition, but they range from 1898 to 1917 and I thought that these dates reflect when these tunes...
Mordechai, As I said, the liner notes to the Biograph LPs give only a few recording dates, but they also give the copyright registration dates and publishers....
In 1976 and 1977 Storyville magazine #'s 64&69 had 2 articles on New Orleans Jazz cornetist Ray Lopez who had played in Brown's Band from Dixieland in Chicago...
