Reversing Into The Future

The music that was recorded on 78' rpm discs, from the 1890's to the 1960's, is rather like silent film.

Vast amounts of both were made around the world and they were universally enjoyed, they embodied popular culture. Nearly as vast amounts of same were discarded and lost before they could be preserved as part of the history of the medium they were part of as popular culture moved on.

But both silent film and 78 rpm records are part of the history of human culture and part of human history, period.

Please enjoy the music in the following link. and words and the music in the following article.
