Complete Wolverines: 1924-1928

From the producers of "King Oliver, Off the Record," comes the definitive reissue of the Wolverines!
Famous for its ground-breaking reissue of King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, Off The Record has collected all of the titles by the Wolverine Orchestra--including the two often-missing Jimmy McPartland sides, and the electrically-recorded sides by the Original Wolverines, featuring McPartland and two other Wolverine alumni and reissued them in stunning new transfers!

Off The Record engineer Doug Benson and researcher David Sager have combed the collecting fraternity and have come up with the best available copies of all the Wolverines and Wolves-related titles. Doug Benson made all-new transfers, carefully chose playback speeds, and applied as little filtering as possible, to provide the most alive restoration of the Wolverines and friends yet! David Sager, whose highly-regarded notes for "King Oliver" garnered a Grammy nomination, has penned a fascinating, informative essay on the Wolverines, with a new spin on their importance and place in jazz history.

Included in the set is a lavishly illustrated thirty-two page booklet, chock full of rare photographs--a few of them unpublished--and rare artifacts: news articles, ads and record labels. Designed by Archeophone's Richard Martin and Meagan Hennessey, the booklet is alone a delight to the eye!
