There's some cool stuff in this new batch. Nothing klezmer, but a good amount of Greek/Turkish/Ottoman music mixed in with the thousands of American discs.
As someone interested in early recording industry history, I love this project. still holding out hope that they eventually release klezmer test pressings that no one has ever heard in 100 years

for example these two tracks by unidentified Greek orchestras in Germany, recorded before WWI, not sure if they're both the same musicians or not. very prominent #accordion with a sound you'd never hear today https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/matrix/detail/2000747381 https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/matrix/detail/2000747380 #78rpm #GreekMusic
