Some decades ago I bought in the U.S. a set of discs duly marked as BALKAN 900-A and 900-B:
- the original lacquer matrices
- the negative masters
- the positive mothers
- the pressing stampers
The negative masters are dated 7-16-41. I have never seen the finished product, the record itself.
The music sounds "ethnic", of course, but strangely more Greek than Serbo-Croatian tambouritza.
Maybe Macedonian?
As far as I know, there were three different post-war BALKAN labels in the USA.
Can our list members help with label information? Or possibly with a copy of the record, so that
the whole production process can be shown in an upcoming exhibition?
Much obliged.
Tip of the hat!
Benno
