For more info or to purchase: rivermontrecords.com/products...
The Chicago Cellar Boys have been electrifying audiences in Chicago and beyond since 2017 with raw, invigorating "hot" jazz of the 1920s -- think King Oliver, Bix Beiderbecke, Frank Teschemacher, Clarence Williams, Bennie Moten, and Jimmie Noone. The GOOD stuff. The quintet includes seasoned professionals who have toured and recorded with Leon Redbone and Vince Giordano and been featured in the hit HBO series "Boardwalk Empire."
This limited edition 78 rpm vinyl record features four exclusive performances made just for this EP. You will not find them on any other record or CD.
The audiophile quality of the recording is a marvel in itself; this record would make an excellent demonstration disc for any high-end system with a turntable capable of playing a stereo, microgroove 78 rpm record.
Personnel: Andy Schumm (cornet, clarinet, tenor saxophone); John Otto (clarinet, alto saxophone); Paul Asaro (piano, vocals); John Donatowicz (banjo, guitar); Dave Bock (tuba).
Both sides were recorded in Racine, Wisconsin on March 9, 2019.
Limited edition pressing of 550 copies.

This is amazing, now we know how a 1920s Jazz Age band would sound using today’s recording standards. And cutting the vinyl at 78 rpm is the icing on the cake. Technically modern cutting lathes can work at any speed, but the fact that most modern TTs lack 78 rpm support is perhaps the reason we don’t see many of these around. Great work :)

That could have something to do with 78s being almost exclusively the old lower-fidelity shellac pressings and not exactly "audiophile" by today's standards as well as simply being out of production. I will say I do love 78s in general and not just as retro enthusiasm or as a novelty but both the music is enjoyable and I am sometimes impressed by things like bass response and dynamics given the limitations of the time.

@hyzercreek Жыл бұрын

@@pip5528 They kept making 78's into the late 1950's and the DJ copies were made of vinyl, not shellac, and if you can find one in mint condition the fidelity is incredible. But you have to play it on a fat needle. I have some R&B 78's from the 50's and the sound is staggering much better than 33 or 45 of the time period.

There wouldn't be any inner groove distortion anyway with that Audio Technica microline stylus. I own one of those styluses and haven't noticed any IGD even on my 33's. But your right, at that speed you shouldn't notice hardly any distortion even with a conical or elliptical tip stylus

Stuff like this would have been mid to late 20's. In 1900 you would have had popular light classical of the day, comedy songs and spoken word stuff and vaudeville/ music hall recordings.

Sounds great. Of course, at 78rpm, the dynamic range would be enormous and you'd have other benefits, including high frequency response and stereo separation. The only drawback is the loss of recording time. One could occasionally buy hi-fi recordings on 12" microgroove virgin vinyl played at 45 in the 70s and 80s and the difference was noticeable - transients just punched!

As for recording original 78's, power is the key. My homemade turntable is driven with a 1/4 hp dc motor, and has a magnetic pickup from the 1930's that features a removable needle. This is connected to a Valve amp, homemade, single ended, not push pull, with lots of high tension volts (1,000 volts) available for the transmitting tetrode, to give a huge dynamic headroom. A valve (twin triode) pre amp as well as including a speaker transformer with a modern speaker attached, means the recording path is somewhat attenuated by the frequency response of the output transformer. The setup sound great, even on badly scratched records. This plays the records as they were originally meant to be played.

It helps that these were pressed on vinyl. The last of the 78's that were made from the late 40's throughout even the 60's were pressed on vinyl and in the then new microgroove format. High quality microphones help as well. Also, the stylus we use now for records (and particularly listening to 78's) are far superior in quality to the old "cactus" style needles used on gramophones and record players way back in the day. Mastering at high speeds also accounts for greater fidelity. This is common practice when recording to analog tape.
