[David Lennick]

I've heard numerous transfers of some of the Edisons, but the AVs are 
impossibly rare. This ought to be fascinating.

> Now available: Sophie Tucker's earliest recordings on Origins of the Red Hot Mama, 1910-1922--24 tracks in a CD-sized hardback 72-page full-color book. It features dozens of illustrations, many extremely rare-and many of them taken from Sophie's personal scrapbooks. Documentarians Susan and Lloyd Ecker, who have worked for three years amassing thousands of pages of notes and effects and have taped interviews of almost everyone alive who knew Sophie, wrote the extensive notes. Visit our home page to see a promotional clip and hear samples at http://www.archeophone.com or read more about the CD at http://www.archeophone.com/cds/5010. Regular price is $23.99, but it is on sale for the next three weeks at $20.99.
