Excavated Shellac: An Alternate History of the World's Music
by Dust-to-Digital
supported by 47 fans who also own “A Better Cure: A Brief History of the Okeh Laughing Record & Its Progeny, 1904-1946”
This set is a real feat. I feel like a better person after spending time with it. If you’re a physical media purist on the fence about paying for a download that part of you wishes was an LP box set, just do it. I don’t know what I expected of this PDF, but it’s amazingly detailed and lovingly, expertly researched with flawless graphic design. Jonathan Ward is a hero. Give him your money.

Excellent guitar. Kinda trance-like and spiritual feeling. Happy to support these ladies and a local Portland label.
