Tom Storer Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 First I've heard, but the reviews the page links to are all glowing. I might give it a try. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Mike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 My retailer wanted € 59,95 for it - that's what kept me from taking it right away ..... perfect gift for any bassist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Storer Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 My retailer wanted € 59,95 for it - that's what kept me from taking it right away I ordered it from their website for 58 dollars, including postage to France. I'll let you know my reactions when I get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks Tom - really curious how you think it is. That label has a great name, btw - dust to digital ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) glad you mentioned Dick Spottswood, as I just talked to him on Monday - funny, because they had a disagreement about the title, which Dick doesn't like, but I've forgotten what his original was - Spottswood is one of those guys who knows more than anyone about the whole picture of American vernacular music and he's beyond generous with his time and expertise - he should get one of those NEA masters awards - Edited June 6, 2007 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I haven't heard this set yet but Dust to Digital does great work. Their Goodbye, Babylon box set of gospel recordings and Fonotone Records : Frederick Maryland set of the 78's Joe Bussard released (the last label to release 78's in the U.S.) are fantastic documents. These are both examples of how box sets should be done. Wonderful music and an obvious love for the music that comes through in the care taken assembling the entire package. I also highly recommend the documentary they did called Desperate Man Blues, about Joe Bussard and his collection of 78's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about that yesterday, for some reason. For that matter, when did the majors cease new production of 78s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that some of Elvis Presley's Sun sides were pressed on shellac. 78s had a slightly longer life internationally, where it took a bit longer for vinyl to become industry standard. That said, I would say that 78s were dead by the age of the Beatles. Fonotone ceased production, I think, in 1970. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
