Journal Article
Greek and Albanian Record Catalogues
2022
Overview
King presents several catalogues and images curated from his larger collection of southern Balkan print items relating to folk music found in his 78 collection from this general region. Most of these were printed in the 1930s till the early 1950s and feature graphics and stylization not dissimilar to their American race and hillbilly counterparts. The somewhat nostalgic images of shepherds playing flute and Greek men courting women wearing fustanella and tsarouchi were meant to appeal to the relatively recent sense of Greek Nationalism after several hundred years of Ottoman governance. It's important to note that most end-consumers would never have seen these catalogues. Instead, they would have been used by furniture stores selling phonographs and discs to immigrant purchasers as well as \"oriental speciality\" shops that catered to Greeks, Turks, and other immigrant communities in urban areas.
