The High Priestess of Jollity & The Southern Singer brings together the complete recorded output of two early stars of the vaudeville stage: Clarice Vance and May Irwin. Though prominent on stage—and sheet music covers—both had very short recording careers, with Irwin's output totalling 6 sides and Vance's 15. This set presents these 21 recordings for the first time and tells the story of these two remarkable women. The package includes a 32-page, full-color booklet with biographical essays on each of women and a bounty of photographs and lush illustrations

The Complete Hit of the Week Recordings, Volume 4 (2 CD set)
$31.99 |
|
| Now available: The fourth and final volume of The Complete Hit of the Week Recordings, Archeophone's celebrated series chronicling the full output of the Durium Corporation, which issued, every week for some three years during the Great Depression, the hottest hits of the moment on a cardboard medium lacqured with the patented Durium compound. The records featured major artists of the day and were sold at newstands for 15 cents apiece. Volume 4 features 59 tracks and includes a 24-page booklet that follows the narrative of the Durium Corporation as they moved their focus from the weekly releases to the more lucrative business of producing advertising records, before eventually folding in 1934. |
