Eighteen months ago, I produced the paper “Brass Band Archive Recordings – a brief guide to recordings of brass bands in libraries, museums and other archives“. As a companion, I have now compiled “Vintage Brass Band Recordings“, which is a a listing of commercial recordings made by brass bands from the era of the wax cylinder to the compact disc. This is essentially produced from the lists of recordings I maintained in the IBEW website. Sadly, time, other distractions, procrastination, and lethargy have prevented me from adding much to the lists in the last 5 years or so – this is particularly evident in the listings of CD recordings, of which more recent releases are conspicuous by their absence. Nevertheless, I hope you find the listings of use or interest. See the link below to download the paper.
