LA Times: Brown Wax Preservation

Post by Polyphone »

John Levin just shared these articles with me.  I found these records years ago in a little honey hole in the midwest.

It's great to see some national press on the stewardship of preserving brown wax recordings.

Looks very interesting but... all I can see in the links are subscription advertisements.

The USCB Cylinder Archive has been online for years. :|

Nice to see them get a little promoting though.
