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.
