Off the Record Presents: Joe Bussard

In the second installment of Off the Record Presents, we make the record-collector's version of the pilgrimage to Mecca vis-à-vis Joe Bussard's wonderful basement! Owner of one of the finest collections of prewar country, blues, and jazz records in the world, the late Mr. Bussard was one of the most famed and accessible names in the 78rpm world for generations.

    He made me appreciate the music on 78’s more than ever before? His collection was second too none. Not even the US National archives has, what he had. Miss you Joe Bussard. 1936-2022.
