Magnificent Sounds Records is a record label out of Buffalo, New York, and they specialize in rare archival recordings and remastering music from a century ago in a lot of cases.  From this magnificent compilation of Hawaiian music, you can read the promo quote on the label’s Bandcamp site.

“A collection of rare original recordings, unheard for over a century, of captivating Hawaiian steel guitar music that influenced the first generation of Delta blues and country artists, changing the sound of music forever. Ghostly transmissions from paradise, beamed across time from a lost century, carefully remastered and restored with extensive historical notes & rare photos. Most tracks have been unissued in any format since their original release over 100 years ago.”
