***************************************************DETAILS ABOUT ITEM**********************************************
THIS IS A ONE OFF 78 RPM ACETATE OF TRADITIONAL AFRICAN MUSIC. RARE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT AS IT IS AN ORIGINAL ONE OF A KIND. MOST LIKELY THESE ARE FIELD RECORDING MADE IN THE 1950'S OR EARLIER BEFORE MAGNETIC TAPES WERE INVENTED. HERE IS SOME INFO ON ACETATES FROM WIKI:
They were widely used for many purposes before magnetic tape recorders became common, This relatively bulky equipment, and the bulky discs, were hauled to remote locations such as Yugoslavia (see Milman Parry) or the Mississippi Delta (see Archive of American Folk Song) by ethnographers, linguists, and musical researchers. Substantial collections of these recordings are available to researchers at academic and national libraries, as well as museums.
IT IS VERY LIKELY THESE ARE THE ONLY EXISTING DOCUMENTS OF THESE RECORDINGS. I WISH I KNEW MORE CONCERNING THE FIELD RECORDING TRIP. WHERE IT WAS MADE BY WHOM ETC. VERY INTERESTING MATERIAL HERE. THIS RECORDED IS A VERY LONG SINGLE PERFORMANCE EXTENDING TO SECOND SIDE. WITH CHANTING POSSIBLY PERFORMED ON THE LITHOPHONE AN INSTRUMENT MADE OF LARGE ROCKS THAT ARE TAPED WITH OTHER ROCKS. TRADITIONAL UNINFLUENCED BY ANY COMMERCIAL CONSIDERATIONS. THESE ARE AMAZING RECORDINGS MOST PROBABLY RECORDED IN THE FIELD IN THE 1940'S OR EARLY 1950S. I BOUGHT SEVERAL OF THESE ON EBAY SOME TIME AGO NOT KNOWING WHAT QUALITY TO EXPECT. I MUST SAY THESE ARE VERY FINE RECORDINGS. PLEASE WRITE WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY INFORMATION YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THESE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE.
