ARCHIVE

In this broadcast, a sliver of the universe of untold wonders, some one-hit, some undone, a list forever unfinished. Groups before and ahead of their time: Pere Ubu, Playthings, Elliott Smith, Outsiders, Spectres, obscure northern soul; more Nederbeat, Messthetics, Rodney Holmes. Something for everyone.

Claverack resident Michael Wilde presents Mostly Singles, selections from an extensive collection of 45 rpm vinyl — music from the 1950s, 60s, 70s and early 80s, mixed with some 78 rpm selections from American popular song and field recordings from the Library of Congress and folklore archives. Broadcast from the Hudson studio.
