TPS 060 - Μουσική του λαού - MUSIC OF THE PEOPLE - Part 2

(Greek music recorded in N.Y.C from 1920's -1950's from 78 RPM Shellac)

Selections by a man called warwick

Back in the summer of 2023, we received a message from a kind lady in Southern Ontario. She told us that she had inherited a collection of 78rpm shellac records from her late father, who was of Greek descent and had a deep love for music.

While we don’t typically collect 78s—since the format is difficult to use in clubs, fragile, and heavy to transport for a mobile setup—I was still intrigued by the idea of exploring music from this era and this unique culture. So, I decided to take a road trip and see where my curiosity would lead.

Long story short, I came home with a large collection of Greek 78s. Now, with eager ears, I was ready to hear what I had blindly purchased. The beautiful labels sparked my curiosity—many of them were from New York City, dating from the mid-1920s to the early 1950s.Finally we had time to record our favourites from this collection of dusty crackley magical deep moody bluesy recordings
