Re: [78-l] HELP! - Yiddish records info needed...

[Joel Bresler <jbresler...>]

Graham,

I have cross-posted your message to the Jewish Music Mailing list and 
blind-copied a couple of discographers of Yiddish music that may be willing 
and able to assist.

It's not my field either, but Asch records is the label of Moe Asch, a true 
pioneer in the folk recording movement and I believe the forerunner of 
Asch's Folkways (now Smithsonian Folkways) label.

They look like very interesting finds, but I can't speak to their value. We 
just had a long discussion of Isa Kremer on the Jewish Music mailing list 
not too long back (cf the Seva label recording.)

Good luck!

Joel
