Description
A fascinating history of the world's rarest 78rpm records is revealed in this book. Before the advent of digital music, the 78rpm record was the primary format for music consumption, but it has since become a highly sought-after collector's item. The story of a small group of obsessive record collectors, who are racing against time to preserve these fragile discs, is one of preservation, loss, and art. These collectors are on a mission to ensure that the music of the past is not lost forever. They are driven by a passion for the music and a desire to preserve it for future generations. The book delves into the history of the 78rpm record, from its heyday to its near extinction, and introduces the individuals who are working tirelessly to digitize and save the blues, country, jazz, and gospel records that have shaped the music we hear today. From the early days of recording to the present day, the evolution of music formats has been shaped by a series of innovators and collectors. This book tells the untold story of one such group, and the impact they are having on the music industry.
