ANKER recordings from the SLUB (1)

ANKER recordings from the SLUB (1)

The SLUB (Sächsische Landes- und Universitäts-Bibliothek in Dresden) was one oft he 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 cartalogue 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 – with the original SLUB numbers and photos, but sometimes with my own discographical annotations (and MP3-tags). You are free to explore the website of SLUB for yourself:

The record maker ANKER was active from ca. 1905 until the 1920ies. The peak lies before 1914, when the company was sold to Kalliope.
