Oh wonderful - I want to hear Ivy Anderson sing "Rose of The Reo

There is a fair amount of BG on http://www.archive.org both records and band remotes. The quality varies from very good to unlistenable. Unfortunately, one of the main posters loves digital processing. Removes all the record noise along with all the music. He also doesn't seem to be able to discriminate between genuine old stuff and 1950's re-makes. However, there is enough good stuff to be worth downloading it. Better have a high speed line for this although single songs are avaiable via low speed streaming.

Much other stuff on this site including those "educational" films those of us of a certain age were subjected to in grammar school. Try "Command Performance" for a film about how RCA-Victor records were made c.1940.
