   "I love the things Joe Bussard puts out ╤ he's preserving a lot of  
   corners of music that are precious." ╤ Elvis Costello

   "The Fonotone company ╤ a pioneer in the folk field. The catalog of this  
   company contains many items of interest to the lover of American folk  
   music." ╤ John Fahey

   After spending his early years soaking up the sound of thousands of 78  
   rpm discs, record collector Joe Bussard decided in 1956 to make some  
   recordings of a few guitar-picking pals in his local National Guard  
   unit. Little did Bussard know that his hobby would turn into a 14 year  
   odyssey which would result in hundreds of custom made 78 rpm records to  
   be issued on his own Fonotone label out of his parents' basement in  
   Frederick, Maryland.

   In 2005, Bussard contacted Dust-to-Digital, the record label he had  
   worked with a few years earlier in compiling tracks for the Grammy¿  
   nominated gospel collection, Goodbye Babylon. What started as a  
   conversation about Fonotone Records metamorphasized into a 5 CD  
   retrospective, for which no stone went unturned. Master reel-to-reel  
   tapes, unplayed for decades but still pristine, were remastered;  
   forgotten Kodak slides in old cigar boxes were dusted off and retouched;  
   and musicians of all stripes who had disappeared more than 35 years  
   earlier were tracked down. Their stories, and the story of Fonotone, the  
   last 78 rpm record label, are told here with words, pictures, and music.  
   Take a look, give it a listen, and get a rare portrait of a long-gone  
   America.
