A while back, a friend of mine sent me a newspaper clipping of a story on Joe Bussard. He probably is one of THE first record collectors...starting in the 1950's and gathering all the primo early records on the 78rpm format. He would go from house to house throughout the south looking for records. His efforts probably saved many a rare sides from going to the dump as the 78rpm format was losing popularity with the introduction of the 45rpm & 33 1/3 LP. As Youtube came around..he can be seen playing some of his gems in the basement of his home. Through him...I have discovered ALOT of early stuff that I never would have. This collection which originally was released in 1952, was the work of Harry Smith. Joe (I believe) has some input as well. I will put the whole 6cd collection up over the next few weeks.
