The plan is simple. Put it all here. Music I restored. Music I produced. Music I collected. Starting with the collections. 600 Piano Rolls. 2000 Amberols. 2500 78 Shellac records. Stay tuned.

I’ve decided to start calling piano rolls “records” again — because they are recordings.
Did you know RCA successfully sued to stop other companies from using the word “record” and "recording"?
Another fact:
Claude Debussy recorded 14 of his own works in 1905. But when RCA won their lawsuit in the 1930's all of the tracks lost the ability to be called a "recording" or a "record". Don't worry, I have 10 of the 14 coming to the channel.
What do you think? Do the piano rolls deserve to be called a "Record" or a "Recording"?
