LIFE BEFORE VINYL HAS COME TO THE END OF ITS SECOND SERIES

Music from this series is now available on CD as Phonofossils

When the unbreakable vinyl record hit the market in the 1950s, millions of fragile scratchy 78s were consigned to the dustbin or the junk pile - and with them went three generations of recorded music. Although these records still turn up in specialist shops and at record fairs, the means of playing them has also been consigned to the dustbin and even those players which still still survive in working order do not get the best out of them. With the aid of specially built playing equipment, Adrian Tuddenham guides you through the junk piles to reveal a forgotten genre of music; and pieces-together the lost art of making gramophone records.
