In
the LP realm, the first three pages represent the entire LP collection
of a cappella (choir-type) music - which hasn't been finished yet. Originally
it was thought that this online collection would only encompass
the a cappella recordings of the LP era. But since the project began,
there have been a multitude of collections that have been re-discovered.
For example, there is a complete archive of field recordings that were
done in Russia in various Doukhobor villages. This archive wouldn't
require the hundreds and hundreds of hours in restoration, because that
library would be uploaded only so the songs are not forgotten (and nor
is there any artwork accompanying it). While that particular archive
isn't of the vinyl era of Canadian Doukhobors, it would seem that this
portal is a likely location to place that valuable library - all freely
downloadable. |
