[78-L] ethnic recordings

[Francesco Martinelli]

On this subject I strongly suggest the Honest Jon catalogue, 
http://www.honestjons.com/label.php?pid=36067&LabelID=14815, with excellent 
sound due to pristine records that must come from the HMV archives.
I have a fair amout of Turkish and Greek catalogues and I have identified 
many original recordings on the RCA Turkish series. There's a book in 
Turkish with a discography of sorts (Gramofon ve Tasplak by Cemal Unlu), and 
many in Greek.

Hey Mal - As far as I know, nothing has been done post WWII. I use the
Spottswood set Ethnic Music on Records quite often, but it can be
frustrating as it only lists recordings made in the US, which leaves lots of
holes.
I've recently been (especially) into Greek records and have the hardest time
finding information on them, pre & post-war. It does seem like there are
many more reissues of ethnic 78s then there used to be. It's part of what
has helped me to discover how great some of this music is.
I just purchased the To What Strange Place 3-disc set on Tompkins Square
(Amazon Link here - http://tinyurl.com/6hx9npy). Got it in yesterday & have
already listened to every disc twice - highly recommended! The set is very
well done & the notes are nice even though they do not contain the names or
numbers of the original records (I know, along with others here, I'm
probably one of the few who would care for such information).

It sure would be nice to have some of the other styles of ethnic records get
the same "Rockwell" treatment as Hawaiian has - ha!

With the glut of American indie record companies popping up after WW2,
more than a few were geared toward ethnic communities within the US.  Is
there anyone besides the Arhoolie Foundation doing research on American
manufactured ethnic labels, especially the  post WW2 companies? I'd be
especially  interested in seeing info on East Coast labels. Seems like a
rich field for tapping, discographically (or labellographically) speaking.
