Special Broadcast Of Vintage Recordings
October 2015




Autumn 2015
Nauck's Vintage Records Broadcast
October 24, October 25 and October 31




Radio Dismuke is pleased to announce the eighteenth semi-annual Nauck's Vintage Records Broadcast hosted by Kurt Nauck, owner of Nauck's Vintage Records, the world's largest and most prestigious auction house of rare and collectible vintage records.  Nauck's has partnered with Radio Dismuke to share with the public some of the rare and exceptional recordings that pass through their doors before ultimately finding homes in various private collections.

For these special broadcasts, Kurt generously makes all of the nearly 10,000 vintage records in his current auction available for the program.  During the broadcast, Radio Dismuke will depart from its strictly 1920s and 1930s popular music and jazz format and play recordings from just about every musical genre imaginable from the dawn of commercial recorded sound in the 1890s through the end of the 78 rpm era in the late 1950s.  Many of the records in the auction are extremely rare and the vast majority have never been reissued in modern formats.

One of the things that is special about the broadcast is that it will provide listeners a rare opportunity to hear very early cylinder records played through Kurt's Archeophone -  a modern, electrical playback device designed specifically for the reproduction and preservation of vintage cylinder records.    Late 19th century wax cylinder records are especially fascinating because very frequently they are the last surviving copies of the recorded performance.

In addition to vintage cylinders and conventional 78 rpm discs, the broadcast will feature other vintage formats as well including Edison diamond discs, radio transcription disc, picture records and cardboard Hit of the Week records.  Radio Dismuke listeners have the opportunity to hear recordings from a wide variety of musical genres ranging from jazz and dance band music to classical, opera, blues, country and even early rock and roll.

One of the highlights of this upcoming auction is a large number of rare non-commercially issued instantaneous records - a few of which will be played during the broadcast.  Instantaneous records are recordings that were cut directly to the disc rather than pressed from a master copy.  Most of those featured in the auction consist of air checks of live radio broadcasts and feature performances by famous artists that have not been heard by the general public since the initial airing. 

The broadcast will air in continuous rotation throughout the weekend of  October 24 and October 25 and will be repeated again on Saturday October 31. 

The Nauck broadcasts provide a unique opportunity to hear some extremely rare and historic recordings  - a good number of which have not been available to a public audience in many decades.  It is another example of how Internet radio is able to provide to a worldwide audience highly specialized, quality programing that traditional media outlets are simply not able or willing to take on.
