Database sneak preview

So here, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the first public preview of our database.This has been made possible thanks solely to the hard work and passion of Nick Isserstedt.

14000 shellac tracks and 1200 artist spanning most of the 1920s and 1930s and coverng most of the race recording from the major records labels.

So it is MS Access based. Here is the search page:

Search for artist, composer or song title




 Here are the results on a search for the phrase Jelly Roll:


 Once we find tracks we could use we make them as "of interest" and they ppear on a seperate page. Then we have compiled another list called "viable recordings" which automatically adds tracks of artist who have been dead for more than 70 years. See below:

This then gives us tracks we can check with IP lawyers

This is going to be offline use only at present. When we can raise enough capital we want to put the modules online.

For more information please feel free to contact us at The Jelly Roll Factory
