For more than thirty years I’ve offered the rare and unusual in classical vocal and instrumental recordings, primarily from the 78 rpm era (pre-1950).  Each year I compile more than two thousand records in an auction list, which provides biographic information about the various artists.  There are also period illustrations in the auction list as well.
