There's some cool stuff in this new batch. Nothing klezmer, but a good amount of Greek/Turkish/Ottoman music mixed in with the thousands of American discs.
As someone interested in early recording industry history, I love this project. still holding out hope that they eventually release klezmer test pressings that no one has ever heard in 100 years
