The First Irish Tenor - John McCormick


This is a very special post. This RCA Camden compilation was produced in 1958. The recordings are actually produced from the original 78 RPM recordings. We've processed the LP digitally, we could not help the original pops and clicks from the original 78's. The recordings range from 1912 - 1930. They are timeless. The orchestrations help bring us back to simple times. So, imagine that you're living in the early 20's and winding-up the phonograph with some Victor RED SEAL recordings that you paid $1.00 for just ONE side.
