I'm looking for sites akin to Bear Family, where I can find complete box sets/album reissues of Old-time Music. I have purchased nearly the entire output for Juneberry 78s, but would much rather prefer legal-CDs where possible... aside, are the Juneberry rips from shellac or Document disc? I located a copy of Fiddlin' John Carson's JOHN'S TRIP TO BOSTON, which was unissued AND peculiarly not on his Document reissues - anyone know why it's not even mentioned in the footnotes? Confused me ever since I found out about it, that it's not even acknowledged, as other unissued releases are?

I'm looking for WWII-era music releases akin to the Glenn Miller box set I inquired about here previously. I came across Tomahawk Films, which offers a large selection of Nazi German music, but am interested in any other labels that reissue wartime era music. Similarly, I am also seeking old-time radio in as-complete-as-possible reissues - I DON'T want the mp3 issues I see for sale online, unless it's the only way to gain access to the material. I did come across the Old-Time Radio Researchers, which helps a little for files.

In addition to radio shows, I am also in search of radio broadcasts of live music (1920s -40s), again as whole as possible - I want complete runs, unedited chatter in between songs, and if possible, liner notes - anything to help recreate the realism of an era. Wartime propaganda would also be of interest - I've seen compilations of Axis Sally, Lord Haw Haw and Tokyo Rose, but these were burnt copies. The V-Discs would also be very-much appreciated by my grandfather (1942 - 1949). In order to compile that collection, I think I'll need a discography. I've discovered V Disc Daddy which helps, and I knew of an MP3 seller, but his site appears to be gone now.


In terms of reissues for acoustic-era music, I would like labels similar to Archeophone Records (already a member :)) or Marston Records (would love some of the material, but he only does limited-editions at collector-prices).

Music should be accessible to everyone who wants to experience it, regardless of price. I apologize if anything I request sounds rather blunt - I erased the original post and lost all my initial typing.

Lastly, I also like video footage - would enjoy seeing newsreels issued on DVD, 1900s - onward. I came across International Historic Films, so that's a start. Looking for classic, 1900s - 1950s animation on disc, as well as TV shows. I know of Shout! Factory and TV Shows on DVD, so I might have that base covered.

Thanks for any help! Due to my long-winded typing out loud, I've tried to paraphrase below.

Looking for issuers of the following material:

Acoustic-era music (1880s - 1920s)

Classic TV shows on disc...TSOD may be the only website I need.

Music from the 1920s - 1940s, and onward, I suppose..anything cultural.

Newsreel footage, wartime footage, as lengthy as possible (I have a few WII box sets I watch with my bedridden father, who has dementia and absolutely LOATHES TV vs. DVD due to the commercials, and I don't want to risk redundancy). Documentaries okay, I just want to be immersed in the footage.

Old-Time/hillbilly music, 1920s - 1940s

Old-time Radio, golden age, 1930s - 1950s, and also the 1970s revival, I suppose.

Radio broadcasts, 20s,- 40s. I realize anything prior to the 30s is rare.
