Excavated Shellac: Strings
14 outstanding compositions from the four corners of the world played on stringed instruments and recorded and released 78rpm records circa 1920-1950. Featuring fiddles, shamisen, charango, Paraguyan harp, Indian vina, Lebanese oud, Persian violin, Vietnamese moon guitar, and more. All previously unreleased, carefully transferred and mastered and presented with detailed liner notes.
Jonathan Ward is a young 78rpm collector and music researcher who has amassed an absolutely incredible collection of rare 78rpm records from around the world. Generally sharing these through his well-known blog, Excavated Shellac, Ward's one of a kind collection is showcased for the first time on Dust-to-Digital's vinyl imprint, Parlortone. None of these tracks have appeared prior to this release either on Excavated Shellac or on any CD or LP compilation of which we are aware. The Excavated Shellac archives are hosted on WFMU's Free Music Archive, and are essentially an (inter) national treasure.
