Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music,  six-album compilation released in 1952 by Folkways Records which collects eighty-four American folk, blues and country music recordings that were originally issued from 1927 to 1932. The compilation was put together by Harry, a filmmaker who around 1940, developed a hobby of collecting old blues, jazz, country, Cajun, and gospel records, 78s being the only medium at the time. The Anthology has had enormous historical influence, mostly because reintroduced near-forgotten popular styles of rural American music making them available for contemporaries.

In the 1946-1961 era, some ingenious Russians began recording banned bootlegged jazz, boogie woogie and rock ‘n’ roll on exposed X-ray film. The thick radiographs would be cut into discs of 23 to 25 centimeters in diameter; sometimes the records weren’t circular. But the exact shape didn’t matter so much, as long as the thing played. “Usually it was the Western music they wanted to copy,” says Sergei Khrushchev, the son of Nikita Khrushchev. “Before the tape recorders they used the X-ray film of bones and recorded music on the bones, bone music.” As author...
