Special Broadcast Of
Vintage Recordings
April 2014
Spring 2014
Nauck's Vintage Records Broadcast April 5, April 6 and April 12 Radio Dismuke is pleased to announce the fifteenth semi-annual Nauck's Vintage Records Broadcast hosted by Kurt Nauck, owner of Nauck's Vintage Records, the world's largest and most prestigious auction house of rare and collectible vintage records. Nauck's has partnered with Radio Dismuke to share with the public some of the rare and exceptional recordings that pass through their doors before ultimately finding homes in various private collections. For these special broadcasts, Kurt generously makes all of the nearly 10,000 vintage records in his current auction available for the program. During the broadcast, Radio Dismuke will depart from its strictly 1920s and 1930s popular music and jazz format and play recordings from just about every musical genre imaginable from the dawn of commercial recorded sound in the 1890s through the end of the 78 rpm era in the late 1950s. Many of the records in the auction are extremely rare and the vast majority have never been reissued in modern formats. One of the things that is special about the broadcast is that it will provide listeners a rare opportunity to hear very early cylinder records played through Kurt's Archeophone - a modern, electrical playback device designed specifically for the reproduction and preservation of vintage cylinder records. Late 19th century wax cylinder records are especially fascinating because very frequently they are the last surviving copies of the recorded performance. In addition to vintage cylinders
and conventional 78 rpm discs, the broadcast will
feature other vintage formats as well including Edison
diamond discs, radio transcription disc, picture
records and cardboard Hit of the Week
records. Radio Dismuke listeners have the
opportunity to hear recordings from a wide variety of
musical genres ranging from jazz and dance band music
to classical, opera, blues, country and even early
rock and roll. The broadcast will air in continuous rotation throughout the weekend of April 5 and April 6 and will be repeated again on Saturday April 12. The Nauck broadcasts provide a
unique opportunity to hear some extremely rare and
historic recordings - a good number of which
have not been available to a public audience in many
decades. It is another example of how Internet
radio is able to provide to a worldwide audience
highly specialized, quality programing that
traditional media outlets are simply not able or
willing to take on.
