Thread Name: Earliest Commercial Shanty Recordings
Subject: RE: Earliest Commercial Shanty Recordings
So when he is asking for examples of "commercial recordings," we can assume he doesn't want people chiming in with that stuff. OK?

Sorry? it was an innocent question. I just wondered what you were all on about when you talked about commercial discs.

Would the ethnic/folk recordings being made for commercial purposes by people like The Gramophone Company and Odeon from 1900 onwards count as commercial discs?

Or am i just being thick?
