Various Artists - Treasures Untold: A Modern 78 RPM Reader [RSD25] (LP)

Are 78 RPM records the next format to make a comeback? For the first half of the 20th Century, shellac 78s were the dominant music format.

Crumb), Gwenifer Raymond, Muireann Bradley, Luther Dickinson, Down Hill Strugglers, Kevin Barker, Michael Hurley, Billy Childish, Devon Flaherty and William Tyler
