3-CD set, with book-length liner notes that have been transcribed into

Waxing the Gospel: Mass Evangelism and the Phonograph, <br><br>
1890-1900<br><br>
is a groundbreaking exploration of how tradition and technology
merged in three distinct areas of recording: commercial, celebrity, and
vernacular. Waxing<br><br>
the Gospel presents performances by the earliest studio pros, records by
evangelists Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey themselves, old recordings
from<br><br>
a Victorian camp meeting, and more than a dozen sacred treasures made in
the parlors of ordinary people experimenting with their own phonographs.
The book-length<br><br>
essay chronicles the incredible detective hunt that identified a cache of
mystery “homemade” cylinders from 1897, recorded at the annual Methodist
camp<br><br>
meeting at Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Incredibly, in the collection was
found the first and only recording made by blind hymn-writer Fanny
Crosby. Some of<br><br>
the selections include the earliest recordings of “In the Sweet Bye and
Bye” (from 1890!), “Rock of Ages,” and “The Hallelujah Chorus.” Also
featured is<br><br>
the newly-discovered earliest recording of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” by
the African-American vocal group, the Standard Quartettea wax cylinder
literally<br><br>
saved from the trash can. The compilation, released by Archeophone
Records, includes a prologue by noted folklorist Joseph Hickerson, an
extensive essay<br><br>
by Richard Martin, artist biographies, disco graphical information,
historical notes and full transcripts of the recordings, full-color
photography (captions<br><br>
presented in the braille version), and 102 remastered selections from the
1890s on three CDs.<br><br>
