It's not Archaeophone, but...

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a FUN disk! It's very accessible. I lose interest in most popular music after Fats Waller, but this really does cover the full 1920-1952 range (emphasis on the 20s, 30s and 40s, though) and each one is interesting and listenable. They actually bothered to restore these, and the sound is fantastic! They have completely eliminated the pops and cracks even from 1920s shellac, which I can attest is hard to do! OTOH, the organization isn't great - "random" about covers it - and the written materials are a bit light. I'd welcome more on the major and supporting artists, the year of each song, how popular it was...you know, context. And of course it's inevitable in a compilation, but I really think they missed some obvious and great ones, like "The Devil to Pay" and "Voodoo Drag." But it's definitely worth the $15 and I am under the evil spell already: I covet their ripping software and have plans to corrupt the local preschoolers by playing this at Halloween ;->"
