WHAT ARE THE TRUE LOST RECORDINGS??
This is what is purported to be the rarest record of all, with only one copy known in existence.
It is "Zulu's Ball" by King Oliver and The Creole Jazz Band.
A wonderful record...but it has been reissued on LP and CD many times.
What about all the great dance band, personality, comedy, jazz and blues records that have never been reissued, either on LP record or Compact Disc?
Such as the other record shown above:
"Sally Lou" by The Hollywood Dance Orchestra, shown here on Perfect 14300

TOAST OF NEW YORK
COMPACT DISCS
This is the short list of material that we've either toasted ourselves or acquired from others. The individual pages for various subjects and sub-subjects contain the full title listings, etc. All discs here are for TRADE Only, not for sale - no cash can be exchanged for any of these discs.!
The idea here is to SHARE music from a sadly neglected period of our musical heritage.
Many of the bands and performers you will see listed here have never been properly reissued. The only way you can hear this wonderful music is in a 78 collectors' listening room...if you are lucky enough to know such a collector.
TOAST OF NEW YORK is about sharing and making the music of the past available once again.
