Hello!
I am new to the discussion- I live in the Los Angeles area and am currently
interested in two types of items of Jewish Music. Can anyone assist with
these
questions? Any assistance is appreciated!
1. Anything on two releases from a small Pittsburgh label called Night Music
Records-they put out two 78rpm sets in 1947-8, one by the Habonim Youth Group
called "Haganah, Songs of the Jewish Underground" and the other called "Song
and Soil" ??
2. Anyone know of sources for American releases of Israeli Folk Music from
the Fifties and Sixties like the Dudaim, Oranim Zabar, Shoshana Damari, etc.
on vinyl? I know that there were records by all the majors and many minor
labels, like Reprise, Capitol, Columbia, MGM as well as a dozen or so by
Elektra and Vanguard. Anyone want to get rid of their (or their parents')
vinyl?
Thanks much! Any info is appreciated!
