Sprigs of Time: 78s from the EMI Archive

SPRIGS OF TIME is a fantastic and almost unfathomably eclectic compilation of vintage music from around the globe, originally recorded for the venerable English label EMI and now reissued by the musical tastemakers at Honest Jon's. This is the third album in Honest Jon's series of discs documenting the contents of the colossal Hayes archive, a sprawling library of over 150,000 vintage 78rpm discs. Where previous titles have focused on the musical output of a single region, SPRIGS OF TIME takes listeners on a dizzying voyage around the world and features recordings from locations as varied as Indonesia, Trinidad, Bulgaria, New York, and Piccadilly.
