The Porter Twin Disc Music Box - Music Box Waltzes and Popular Tunes
released in 1982 on LP
recorded July 1982 at Rooster Records, Bethel, Vermont, United States
This album of waltzes and popular tunes is Porter Music Box's second LP, and further demonstrates the incredibly bright and beautiful sound of the world's finest parlor music box. Each Porter music box is a masterpiece of modern acoustical technology and old world craftsmanship, and produces a sound unequaled by even the best music boxes of old. This album, and "Music Box Christmas", Porter's first album, are the only recordings available today of a twin disc music box from a new manufacturer.
The Porter family continues in the tradition of the mastercraftsmen who produced the first music boxes nearly two centuries ago. Their dedication to those high standards of craftsmanship can be heard in the unique musical quality of this twin disc recording. (from the liner notes)

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing theses charming and interesting curiosities. I enjoy music box sound, and an opportunity to listen some tunes I know quite well in a different way (The Entertainer by S. Joplin, Skater's Waltz ("Les patineurs") by French composer E. Waldteufel,...).
