Various Artists - Brass Pins & Match Heads

I love these things! This is a collection of old 78's which is a sequel of sorts to the ace String of Pearls comp they put out a while back. This one features tracks from India, Iran, Anatolia, Portugal, Switzerland, Greece, Macedonia, Spain, America and a bunch of other places. It's amazing! The 2nd track by Juan Parras Del Morral is a beautiful piece of Spanish guitar music recorded in the early 20s and it's lovely. The style's obviously vary from country to country but it's essentially a vital album for any world folk archivists. Some of the songs have vocals and others are instrumental. Not sure what else to say about it really aside from it's full of magical moments and if you're a fan of String Of Pearls and want more then this has your name written all over it. Well it hasn't but if you ask nicely we'll write you name on it in thick black permanent marker.
