Vox Recordings from the SLUB Vol. 2 (Sänger – Liedaufnahmen)

Vox Recordings from the SLUB Vol. 2 (Sänger – Liedaufnahmen)

The SLUB (Sächsische Landes- und Universitäts-Bibliothek in Dresden) was one of the first institutions, who made up a public sound archive on the internet with shellack recordings. As the digitalization began early, there are some parameter which do not reach the standard of archive.org. All recordings are only given as MP3 with 160 kB/s, not all can be heard in full lenght, and the pictures of the labels are often poor. But – they have a lot of rare records which can not be found elsewhere in the web. Everyone can listen to the records on the SLUB website and download them.

In 2016 I have looked through the whole catalogue of SLUB and have downloaded a few thousand recordings. They all are public domain. I present here on my archive.org-account some recordings I have collected from SLUB. You are free to explore the website of SLUB for yourself:

The record maker Vox started recording at the end of 1921 or beginning of 1922 and went bankrupt in 1929. In the meantime they built an impressive repertoire of own recordings. They recorded popular music, but also many opera singers of the time. Some oft them did not record otherwise. Many recordings, especially of the lesser known artists, are rare today (as most of the late acoustic recordings before the invention of the electric recording process in 1925/26).

I have left the SLUB recordings unchanged with 160 kB/s MP3 files (mostly mono), but added my own MP3-tags with discographical annotations. The names of the original files are still left, but I have added an own number which indicates the place in the playlist. The (often poor) pictures given by SLUB for the single recordings of this playlist can be found here:
