Shellac Stack No. 313 visits again with an old friend, JiHoon Suk, as we explore rarities and oddities from his collection of classical and operatic vinyl pressings made from original metal parts. From Edvard Grieg (himself!) to Joseph Joachim, Pablo de Sarasate, Enrico Caruso, Louise Homer, and Nellie Melba, it’s a fascinating and entertaining glimpse into a corner of the 78 rpm world we don’t often explore on the Shellac Stack.
