SIX YEARS in the making, this download-only release consists of 100 tracks – all originally issued on 78rpm discs with a 186-page beautifully illustrated book, stuffed with exotic label shots, incredible photographs, graphics and notes on every track. It's the brainchild of Jonathan Wood, who runs the Excavated Shellac website.
