Indestructible no. 734 - Dixie - Band

Post by Valecnik »

Released in March 1908, this one seems particularly well recorded. View, listen in 1080p HD. :)

Crisp, clear and with a remarkably silent surface, on a machine which has obviously been very well maintained.

I have never heard an Indestructible played better.

I totally agree, this is a very great sounding record, it actually sounds like a good mono LP recording. Has a very good electric quality sound.

There are a lot of the Indestructibles that sound that good if they've not been damaged or shrunk. It's rare to find any early recording with such a crisp clear percussion section though.
