  • The Black Record: A Selective Discography of Afro-Americana on Audio Discs Held by the Audio/Visual Department, John M. Olin Library. Dain, Bernice, Comp. Nevin, David, Comp. African Culture African History African Languages Audiodisc Recordings Audiovisual Aids Audiovisual Centers Bibliographies Black Culture Black Dialects Black History Black Studies Documentaries Folk Culture Music Sound Tracks The present revised and expanded edition of this document is an inclusive cumulation. A few items have been included which are on order as new to the collection or as replacements. This discography is intended to serve primarily as a local user's guide. The call number preceding each entry is based on the Audio-Visual Department's own, unique classification scheme and is included to facilitate local use only. Washington University students are always welcome to use the recordings on equipment provided by the A/V Department on Level 2 of Olin Library; university faculty may check out recordings for one-day classroom use. Due to the many problems involving copyright, artists' rights, recording rights, clearance of "performances," etc., the discs may not be taped or otherwise duplicated. The material is arranged in four sections: (1) Documentary and Spoken Word--biographical material, speeches, poetry, prose and drama; (2) Folk Music: African Origins--authentic recordings mostly by native performers; (3) Folk Music: New World Roots and Growth--numerous examples of rhythm and blues, game songs, ballads, hollers and shouts, spirituals and gospel songs, work songs and calls, etc.; and, (4) Sound Tracks and Musicals--black artists on the stage and screen.
