Are there any Vitaphone recordings available on CD?
At this time there are no CD’s that exclusively contain Vitaphone material. However, TAKE TWO RECORDS offers a CD with Sophie Tucker which includes otherwise lost soundtrack discs excerpts from “Honky Tonk” (1929). And Rhino just issued a 4 CD set on the 75th Anniversary of Warner Brothers which includes some soundtrack excerpts by Fanny Brice, Jolson and others. Rhino eventually hopes to issue CD’s made up exclusively of Vitaphone tracks, grouped by subject (jazz, hot dance bands, vaudeville, etc.).
