Sven Väth | "Hot & Melty" hr3 Clubnight (23.07.1994) (Techno/Trance Classics)

[Roger Mexico]

[Catoptric]

I wondered if this should just be posted in "seen on the internet?"

[HighlyIrregular II]

Chicken Attack is good stuff.

Otis - Lover's Prayer
Some people know this song from a Sopranos episode.

[Roger Mexico]

Kuffdam and Plant - Summerdream (Paul Van Dyk Remix) HQ

Paul van Dyk - The Politics of Dancing 2 (2005)

[Catoptric]

I found a bunch of Bollywood movie soundtracks in the garbage. . . This one is probably my first introduction to Bollywood (from the 1998 movie, Dil Se.)



Also, a bunch of 1920s shellac records (that I couldn't just let get thrown away.)

I'll start adding a few songs as I go through them (in case some don't have digital copies online that are available, I might consider investing in a record player and converting them to digital. By this point they should be in public domain.)

I might need this:

List of Challenge records

Bell Records (Pan playing the flute)
https://www.78discography.com/Bell1920.htm


Most of these were sold at 'Sears-Roebuck Company' for about $.39-75 (which is about $7-13.50

Sears also owned Silvertone (along with Supertone?) but sold the Challenge and Silvertone label in 1929 (stock market crash.) The suggested playing speed is 80 RPM (not 78 as is typically referred to.)

I'm going to check whether Internet Archive already has them, but I wouldn't mind donating it to them (much of these weren't found by simply searching for the album, or the musician on the record label.)

https://great78.archive.org/

The existing database:
https://archive.org/details/78rpm

Most all of them other than the more well known ones, aren't listed, so I might be donating them if the shipping costs weren't so damn high ($140 at a minimum for about 10 lbs of disks using their standard shipping box?) edit: Coolparcel shows some options for up to 9 lbs at $around $30-40 for Fedex or UPS Ground (when going to UPS' website showed nothing close to that when estimating 10 lbs.)

These were stored away in Humitex (temperature record) Charts box circa 1950s and used up until the 1990s

Shellac (insect byproduct) disks (circa 1925-50)
Challenge 105 A-B record by Tom Owens WLS Barn Dance Trio
Side A
Kings Head (With Calls)
Side B
The Irish Washerwoman

I could only find the second song and find no reference to Kings Head (it's as if it didn't exist.) The quality of this recording is atrocious, and it seems reminiscent of Thomas Edison's wax cylinders.

The last of them (31 records, all shellac)



Some of these might be seriously lost music (and unfortunately some of these discs are cracked.)


Some might be from the 1930s, though I'll be a this for awhile, so something that might interest those who would listen to this kind of music



I'm going to come back to these, but their are numerous playlists in the search results of specific artists:
