This Premium is yours for a pledge level of $75 or more.
Fonotone Records: Frederick, Maryland (1956-1969)
We’re going Old-Timey with Jug bands, County Blues & Southern Gospel, and Fonotone (78 RPM only) Records… Joe Bussard
is a collector of old-time American music. He swears off anything past the 30's. Over the years, he has amassed over 25,000 records. In
1956, Joe started a label from his parents basement, and called it Fonotone. He recorded himself, friends, and eventually a young
John Fahey, who recorded some of his earliest music (and only vocals) with Joe under the pseudonym Blind Thomas. Mike Seeger
recorded as Birmingham Bill... and that's just to name a few. In the basement, Joe had a mic, a reel-to-reel recorder, and a record
cutter - essentially a studio and manufacturing facility for his label of 78s. The label lasted from 1956 until 1969, trying to preserve the
old way and the old sound. The records didn’t go far beyond the Maryland border, and many to this day have never heard of
Fonotone. Dust-To-Digital released this 5 CD box set in a cigar box full of photos, 160 page booklet, and a bottle-opener?
A $50 pledge gets you in the running for this Grand Prize.
