Dismuke's Electrically Recorded 1920s & 1930s Phonograph Records

 
Welcome
This section is devoted to the popular music of the 1920s & 1930s and features streaming Real Audio selections of original recordings from my collection of  78rpm records.  It is my hope that this site will help bring this great era in American popular music to the attention of a new generation of listeners and thereby ensure its preservation and possible renaissance.

A number of websites link directly to this page.  If that is how you arrived here, you might want to check out this website's main page.  I continue to update the site on a weekly basis in my Hit of the Week section.  I also have a 24 hour Internet radio station Radio Dismuke with a playlist of over 1,000 recordings of vintage pop and jazz from the 1925-1935 decade. 

New! All audio files in this section have been updated with new ones taking advantage of the audio restoration equipment I acquired in late 2003. 
 


Enjoy!
