Thanks for looking up the recording, hope u find it. That would be a historic piece of music.
All is beautiful but Ill have to disagree on two things in this thread which are absolutely incorrect. First and foremost the title of the thread itself. Ill have to disappoint you here but Music Archaeology (which I misspelled earlier) has nothing to do with what this guy describes. Even more, unearthing unknown gems, from unknown musicians, once again is totally irrelevant with Music Archaeology - which is a science of excavating archaic artifacts, sound devices and instruments, and other evidence of how ancient music was sung, played and performed, in order to recreate it and understand how that archaic music might have sounded like.
A simple and most popular example of that is the one that changed the western musical world forever - Baroque music, which was the product of deep studies of Ancient Greek texts and surviving scripts, using Pythagorean tuning and Ancient Hellenic scales that were used by greeks who lived all around from Minor Asia and North Italy (Magna Grecia at the time), from Gibraltar to Egypt, from Sparta to Makedonia. Things got interesting when revenging the Persian Empire for burning down Athens to the ground, Alexander realised his fathers dream to invade east and became the first greek who heavily blended hellenic and eastern cultures and music.
As for vinyl collecting, Im definitely going to give it a go once I can afford a Technics MK2.
