Description:
Complete hot recordings by ten 1920s jazzbands with Red Nichols, the Dorseys, Jack Pettis and more. Sound from gramophone records is based on technology and therefore it is a matter of standards. There are standards for rotation speed, size, groove shape, spindle hole, cutting method, etc. Pathe records started in Paris, France, in the late 1890’s. Its first product was almost a copy of the Edison phonograph, playing vertically cut cylinders only, but soon Pathe started its own recording studio and a few years later disc records were being added to the catalog. These used a different speed, several different sizes and a different groove shape from Edison discs. However, when Pathe set up an American branch in 1914, they started to follow some of the emerging US standards. Pathe grooves were still hill and dale with a special shape, requiring a special record player, but a few years later they began to issue "normal" lateral cut records as well. It would take until 1925 before they finally stopped manufactoring hill and dale in the USA1. The first tracks of the present CD were originally recorded just before Pathe made this move. In the meantime the company had introduced a secondary label next to its main Pathe label. This new label was called Perfect and could be bought for 50 cents, whereas a Pathe record sold at 75 cents, the normal sales price for top labels such as Columbia and Victor. Usually Pathe. |
