ACTIONABLE OFFENSES - INDECENT
Description:
The commercial recordings on this CD are the only known copies that Comstock's men missed. They were preserved by long time Edison Recording Manager Walter Miller and are now in the vault of the Edison National Historic Site. Scarcity and suppression have kept them silent for a century. They were stories told readily in the bar; yet they became legally actionable offenses when fixed in wax and played on a phonograph in that same bar. Brace yourself. Just because they are from the Victorian era does not mean they are tame by today's standards far from it. At 60 pages, the CD's oversized booklet stands alone as a work of its own merit. It features several full length articles, complete transcripts of all the recorded material, selections from the 1893 convention of phonograph dealers, and extensive footnotes. Plus the usual attractive design and previously unpublished illustrations you expect from Archeophone. It may be indecent but it sure is classy!
