Who is doing this? Will the recordings be available for sale or is
this a personal project for a broadcast? |

Is this restoration from the masters or from scratchy old records? Is
it the whole Dana catalog? |

There is a collector that posesses the entire Dana library still
sealed in plastic. Would you care to share more info regarding this
project? |

I would think that it is from records, since most if not all of the
masters were distroyed by fire. |

Coming later this year and into 2010. All 114 of the Danas will be
made available for sale on cd. The first wave will hit late November/
early December with more editions to follows. Artwork will include
their original album cover. Also coming is the REX collection on
cd. More details to follow as they are made available as well as
where you can get them. |

That is not true. What was destroyed were some new, unreleased recordings when Walter Dana was
living in Florida.

Scratchy old records...you're thinking of 78's, but even those can be made to sound better than new
with todays software. Unless you've actually worked restoring something, you truly have no idea what
can and has been done.
There's a jazz record label in Chicago that has been doing this for years, as in over a decade and
they've had Ceder in England doing the stuff and it's more than quite good.

This is wonderful news!! Johnnie Bomba came to mind, also I know
there is a Dana lp that had Bomba, Adamczyk & Zima on it..Chicagoland
Polkas I believe was the lp title. Frank Wojnarowski has recordings on
78's along with Ray Henry. I also think that Zima first release was on
Dana also.
I was going to say Wally recorded on Dana too, but remembered a good
friend telling me his first recording was on Columbia, he then went to
Amber, then he created Jay Jay. "Janies Polka" with the Polish
Carousels was his first recording (for you polka historians). |

Actually I was thinking about all old records. I know all about audio
restorative software. I'm a musician and electrical engineer so I do
have a brain. Do not assume everyone else is stupid. Jeez!!!!!

I'm glad to hear someone, or company, or heirs to the Dana collection,
are re-engineering and reproducing this collection.
Wasn't Dana purchased by Atlantic Records or Columbia or some other
very big name????????? and the Dana recordings were deeply buried in
record company propaganda (i.e. polkas weren't a money-maker or hip)?
Kudos to whoever it is who was able to get permission from whatever
major record label to reproduce all those recordings. It must have
been a ton of paperwork and money getting that record label to release
all the production rights.
It's fantastical those recordings will be available once again. |

Then perhaps, if you're so knowledgeable, you might think before painting with such a broad brush.
You'd also know what I've said is in fact true‹that the old records can be made to sound better than
when they were new. Tuck your ego away, please.
