How did a Wisconsin chair company, producing records on the cheap and run by men with little knowledge of their audience or the music business, build one of the greatest musical rosters ever assembled under one roof? Paramount Records was founded on a modest proposition: produce records as cheaply as possible, recording whatever talent was available. Over its lifetime, the label would become a race records powerhouse, its sound and fortunes directly linked to the Great Migration. By the time Paramount ceased operations in 1932, it had compiled a dizzying array of performers still unrivaled to this day, spanning early jazz titans (Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller), blues masters (Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Son House, Skip James), American divas (Ma Rainey, Alberta Hunter, Ethel Waters), gospel (Norfolk Jubilee Quartette), vaudeville (Papa Charlie Jackson), and the indefinable other (Geeshie Wiley, Elvie Thomas). Paramount would also directly influence the style of Robert Crumb and countless other 20th century artists and illustrators, through a series of hand-drawn ads promoting its releases in the pages of the Chicago Defender. The Rise and Fall wonder-cabinet gives equal status to page-turning narrative and new scholarship; original and newly created graphic art; industrial design; and compelling analog and digital music experiences. Volume One contains the following. 800 newly-remastered digital tracks, representing 172 artists 200+ fully-restored original 1920s ads and images 6x 180g vinyl LPs pressed on burled chestnut colored vinyl w/ hand-engraved, blind-embossed gold-leaf labels, housed in a laser-etched white birch LP folio 250 page deluxe large-format clothbound hardcover art book 360 page encyclopedia-style softcover field guide containing artist portraits and full Paramount discography Handcrafted quarter-sawn oak cabinet with lush sage velvet upholstery and custom-forged metal hardware First-of-its-kind music and image player app, allowing user mgmt of all tracks and ads, housed on custom-designed USB drive Dimensions: Length 18.5″/ Width 16″/ Height 5.75. THEY ARE NOTED DUE TO RECENT PROBLEMS WITH BUYERS. I KNOW IT IS A LOT, BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL ALLEVIATE ANY PROBLEMS LATER. 3 With records becoming more popular in the last few years and pressing plants working many hours to meet demand, it is literally impossible to check the condition of every single record thoroughly. Not all records will come out entirely flat; there may be a slight rise and fall to them. Keep in mind, THEY ARE NOT “WARPED”! A warped record means it may sound a little distorted or be unplayable. Review the item description carefully. It’s not my problem/responsibility if you don’t understand. 13 Records/sleeves graded “Near Mint” means there are minor imperfections ex: minor corner dings, creases, splits, etc. Not a perfect copy. If for some reason you want extra secure packing (ie double boxing), it will cost extra. Wait for updated invoice before paying If you receive record and the are dings or creases on jacket or ripped sleeves, double boxing might be a good idea. I won’t be held responsible for damage and there be no compensation. Not my problem if you might be incompetent or colorblind. Is not able to redeem a gift card or coupon.
