Who Wants to Learn About Aeolian-Vocalion?

Post by phonogfp »

Thanks again to R.J. Wakeman, there is a brand-new book available - this time on Aeolian-Vocalion. Like his earlier Brunswick, Sonora, and Cheney works, this book will tell you everything you could want to know about Aeolian-Vocalion. The 249 pages are profusely illustrated in color, and include the following:

* In-depth information on Vocalion Records & artists in the Jazz, Race, and Classical genres.

* Compete model illustrated listings.

* Coverage of industry-wide pressures and trends.

* Discussion of cabinet finishes, including changeover to lacquer.

* Details on radio development and electrical recording.

* Information on Aeolian-Vocalion in the UK.

* Patents

* Bibliography

This landmark work on another major manufacturer is now posted on the APS web site and is free to all members. There's a lot to learn - and you'll be surprised when you find out when Aeolian-Vocalion was finally dissolved!

Our thanks go out once again to Mr. Wakeman for the privilege of posting this book.

George P.
