Subject: Great collection, confusing titling could be better This is an absolutely great collection. One problem with it, though, is that so many of the shortened titles are so mystifying, making it impossible to track down more info about the songs. Some of the reviews do label a lot of the mystery songs though. It's impossible to be 100% sure of what is copyright free and what isn't. Just because an artwork was created after 1924 doesn't always mean that it is NOT public domain at this point-- if you look at a list of public domain films, you will find many that certainly were made after that date. (MST3K, especially in the early years, always used as many public domain films as possible, and they never went anywhere remotely close to as far back as 1924.) That having been said, the safest thing to do is to stick with 1924 and earlier.recording dates. This shouldn't apply to non-monetized videos at all IMHO, but I didn't make the copyright laws. ;) - January 6, 2020Great collection, confusing titling could be better

Subject: Lovely! But beware copyright... "Me And The Man In The Moon" by L'orchestre Des Ambassadeurs was published in 1928 and does not fall within the public domain (after 1923), so it will be claimed on YouTube or Twitch. - May 12, 2019Lovely! But beware copyright...

Subject: GREAT MUSIC The titles make little sense, Just off the top of my head maybe 90 or 95% of these are in the public domain. The music is certainly better than anything on 2017 radio. The music on 2017 radio is not worth the cost of registering a copyright . It is so terrible. 2017 music should be public domain one hour after publication - July 6, 2017GREAT MUSIC

That said, thank you Gathacol Radio, for this wonderful collection. You probably know of Radio Dismuke. This playlist would fool me into believing of get this wonderful station that features 20's and 30's music, on at present. Forgive me if, one, this is a repeated notice and two, if I'm mistaken. However, I'm 99.9% sure that what is listed by ragfart as "I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate The Cotton Pickers Brunswick 2338-A 1922" is in a fact a much later recording by Mugsy Spanier of the same title, in 1939. Here's a YouTube version of the latter for comparison, though anyone familiar knows the recording quality and style cannot be the former:That said, thank you Gathacol Radio, for this wonderful collection.

Does any one knows if i am allowed to use parts of these songs as samples in my original compositions?



as these songs were published in the U.S. before 1923 therefore do fall in public domain music. - August 5, 2016Thank you for sharing

I suppose we are lucky to even have them in any way, but I am naturally frustrated by not knowing the title of some of the tracks I have never heard before. The one labelled as "afghanis" is fascinating. It seems like such a memorable melody, yet I have been unable to find any info on it.

Subject: Somebody Stole My Gal I am looking to use this song in a short film but I'm unclear as to whose recording it is. I Shazam-ed the song and it popped up as "Somebody Stole My Gal" composed by Leo Wood, but there is no more info about the recording. I would like to obtain official rights to the song (and it says "public domain" but I'm skeptical that this is actually the case that I can use it without any licensing). If the person who uploaded this collection or anyone else who might have more information on the recording "stolmgal" track 111 (03:09 play time). Please let me know! And if you know if "public domain" really means free to use in all replications.

Subject: Amazing Grace is not from the 20s Howdy everyone. This is an excellent collection, but I do believe the amazing grace file is actually a recording of a brass band. A good brass band they are, but I recognize the sound and the recording. Probably one in Germany or America. You might want to have that checked, as the arrangement might not be copyright free.



Otherwise, GREAT! - July 9, 2014Amazing Grace is not from the 20s

However, I would agree with a previous reviewer that more information would be helpful.

Subject: Extremely valuable! I've downloaded this collection of music recently and enjoy it very much. It's great! It contains both well-known jazz standards and some rare stuff. I am fascinated by the Roaring Twenties, and this music allows me to feel the spirit of the epoch. Yes, all these tracks are very old, however, many of them are not just some "museum pieces" - they are highly enjoyable as they are, despite their considerable age. My only complain is that the uploader didn't give the full names of the songs. I'd love to get more info especially since I am still new to jazz and some of these contracted titles make no sense to me.



My favorites from this bunch are: Alexander_Wheres_That_Band, Bennie_Moten_Kater_St._Rag, Washingtonians-Tishomingo_Blues, Hot Mama (!), Dippermouth Blues, Washboard Wiggles, llagoose, onlygirl, Ole Miss rag, nickleodeon, dix1step, Eubie Black's compositions etc.

Subject: Credits for "Sentimental Gentleman from Georgia" amdubin over at YouTube has uploaded a video of this song playing on his Radiola 47 - and it sounds great. According to his posted information:

Isham Jones: "Sentimental Gentleman From Georgia"

Victor 24099 (recorded in Camden, NJ on 8/17/32 in Jones's first Victor session). Eddie Stone sings the vocal chorus.

Commenters add:

"This was recorded at Victor's Camden studio. ﻿ The original master remains nearly flawless, and if you're able, locate a re-recording...hearing it is like walking back in time. The speed and precision of this orchestra is astounding. Do a fox trot to this one. You'll get your heart rate elevated."

"Isham Jones Big Band from 1932 on Victor. Jones recorded primarily for Brunswick from 1924 - 1931, then switched to Victor with a largely enhanced Band, and hotter arrangements. Gordon Jenkins (of Frank Sinatra fame in the early 1950's after Axel Stordahl) is Jones Orchestrator for all the Victor Sessions and this period not﻿ to mention te Full Audio Spectrum sound of the "New" Othophonic Process, which helped to sell this Radiola/Elecrola Combo. Great sound and Fidelity." - August 31, 2009Credits for "Sentimental Gentleman from Georgia"
