The Complete Hit of the Week Recordings, Volume 3

This is the third two-CD volume in an eventual four-volume series collecting the complete weekly output of the Hit of the Week franchise, along with rare test and promotional records from the parent Durium Corporation. Hit of the Week records, made with the patented Durium formula on top of a cardboard surface, were the cheapest and best-selling records at the outset of the Great Depression. This third collection picks up where Volume 2 left off and includes lots of advertising records as well as the 5-minute Duriums. With top-notch production and a 24-page booklet featuring rare graphics, a history of the Durium Corporation by Hit of the Week expert and discographer Hans Koert, and notes on the songs by co-producer and sound engineer Doug Benson, Volume 3 offers the quality and value you've come to expect from the Complete Hit of the Week series.
