Hello followers of this thread - I'm supposed to put 1935 out today but it's only 70% done, not going to rush it and make it bad.
In the meantime, I'm asking for suggestions from the late 50s, just any music or sounds recorded between 1945 and 1949, not just obvious pop / jazz / be bop / jump blues but soundtracks, experimental recordings, movie clips, interviews, speeches, poetry, and anything else that works as an audio clip.
You can add suggestions on this google sheet - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrCI54fjCioSVuyRLLckVlnuNDGalZaB/view?usp=sharing - or email me at james at centuriesofsound dot com, or just leave a comment here.
