Collecting 78 RPM Records
Sunday, March 15, 2009
2 to 4 PM
Silver Spring, Maryland
Members: $10
Nonmembers: $15
Record labels from Neil Gladd's collection of 78 rpm records.
Deco music on CD is fine, but it's more fun to collect it on the original format: 78s! Spend an afternoon with collector Neil Gladd learning about recognizing and collecting 78s from the Art Deco period, and a brief history of recording up to that point. (How many of you knew that the record disc was invented in Washington, DC?) The discussion will cover what labels to look for, clues to dating the recordings (which were almost always undated) and, of course, listening to the music!
Neil Gladd, is a professional musician, and a collector of 78s, popular sheet music of the 20s and 30s, and Art Deco in general. From 1991 to 1998, he worked in the Recorded Sound Section of the Library of Congress, America's record collection!
Space is limited. Advance reservations required.
Location: Walking distance from Silver Spring Metro. Directions provided upon registration
