Excavated Shellac: An Alternate History of the World's Music
by Dust-to-Digital
supported by 43 fans who also own “Nightingales & Canaries, vol 1: "Oriental" Women on Record, New York & Istanbul, 1928-55”
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.

The Lost 45s of Sudan (ShellacHead Annual 2015)
by ShellacHead
supported by 30 fans who also own “Nightingales & Canaries, vol 1: "Oriental" Women on Record, New York & Istanbul, 1928-55”
Absolutely amazing compilation. Takes you back to another time and another place. A lot less outside influence than Sudanese music you find in the 80s (not that that's bad), but certainly can hear the threads that run through. Great stuff!
