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 

and now sharing with the many curious ears in 2025
via this Raw low-fi mix with some records being almost 100 year old
and to which are of the very first Greek recordings 
ENJOY !! and please share far and wide 
PLAY LOUD !
