Description

Volume One (1917-27) chronicles Paramount's improbable rise from also-ran to jazz-blues juggernaut, launching the recording careers of giants like King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Alberta Hunter, Blind Blake, Ethel Waters, Ma Rainey, Papa Charlie Jackson, Big Bill Broonzy, and Fats Waller. 
Paramount simply killed. But more than that, it changed how this country thought of itself. It was the first enterprise of any kind to capture what America really sounded like in the 1920s and '30s - on its street corners, at its fish fries and country suppers, in its nightclubs and dance halls and showtents. In the process, it was profit-minded Paramount - not a preservationist body like the Library of Congress - that inadvertently created the most significant repository of this young nation's greatest art form. 
The ‘Rise and Fall’ wonder-cabinet gives equal status to page-turning narrative and new scholarship; original and newly created graphic art; industrial design; and compelling analog and digital music experiences. 
‘Volume One’ contains the following:- 6 x 180-gram vinyl LPs pressed on burled chestnut colored vinyl with hand-engraved, blind-embossed gold-leaf labels housed in a laser-etched white birch LP folio- 800 newly-remastered digital tracks, representing 172 artists and accessible via a first-of-its-kind music and image player app that allows user management of all tracks and ads, housed on a custom-designed USB drive- 250-page large-format, clothbound hardcover art book- 360-page encyclopedia-style softcover field guide containing artist portraits and full Paramount discography- 200+ fully-restored original 1920s ads and images- Handcrafted quarter-sawn oak cabinet with sage velvet upholstery and custom-forged metal hardwareDimensions: Length - 18.5", Width - 16", Height - 5.75”
