This makes us think of Airstream trailers and martinis. Check out this sneak peek of The Rise and Fall of Paramount Records - Volume 2 due out November 18! Like Volume 1, this comes from Third Man Records and Revenant Records. Audio restoration and mastering by Airshows David Glasser and Anna Frick, 78 transfers and mastering by Christopher King; and co-produced by Alex van der Tuuk. Volume 2 spans the final 5 year period of Paramount Records (1928-32) and includes hundreds of artists including Charley Patton, Skip James, and The Mississippi Sheiks (to name just a few). Not to mention all the extras included with the set: ‘Volume 2’ contains six LPs, a sculpted metal USB drive with 800 songs and 90+ original hand-drawn ads from the Chicago Defender, a large-format hardcover book telling the labels story via new writing and original images, and an illustrated Field Guide with biographies and recording information for each artist represented in the set. It is all housed in a streamline case of polished aluminum modeled after a portable phonograph in 1930s American Machine Age Art Deco style. Find out more about this amazing project here:
