- 76-page hardcover book with never-before-published research complete with newly remastered audio from pristine， original 78-rpm discs. Our label’s inaugural release， 2003’s Goodbye， Babylon， included two recordings by a mysterious gospel musician from Texas named Washington Phillips， who died in 1954. After 3 years of combing through various archives and talking with the last surviving people from the Simsboro-area who remembered Phillips， we now know the name of Phillips’ homemade instrument (the Manzarene); when， where and how he died; and many anecdotes about what his life was like. We are excited to share this story in Washington Phillips and His Manzarene Dreams， a new book by Corcoran accompanied by recordings made by Phillips between 1927-29. To ensure a superior listening experience， we tracked down the most pristine original copies of Phillips’ 78-rpm records， created high resolution transfers and had the audio expertly remastered for the best-sounding Phillips reissue to date. Hear the sublime， hypnotic and ethereal music of Washington Phillips in clarity like never before!
