This title features rare and never-before-released 78rpm records from around the world, showcasing intense and hypnotic music centered on reed instruments. The reeds, often made of plant tissue, are known for their malleability and ability to create passionate sounds when air hits them. These traditional instruments are commonly played outdoors for celebrations and dancing, rooted in rural culture. The album, the second in the Excavated Shellac release series, includes extensive liner notes and a booklet by Jonathan Ward. With carefully transferred and mastered tracks, this release also includes three bonus tracks that are exclusive to the CD version. Get ready to experience the rarest of the rare and the best of the best with Excavated Shellac: Reeds.
