Store description excerpt

Step into the shellac era. On the Wax is a hand-built gramophone player for the popular records of 1914 to 1924 - early jazz and classic blues, hot dance bands, saxophone novelties and parlour ballads - the same scratchy 78rpm sound that filled speakeasies and front rooms a hundred years ago, gathered into one calm, fully offline app. Every track is a genuine vintage recording, bundled right inside the app. No streaming, no account, no internet required - surface noise and all. ────────────────────────────── WHAT'S INSIDE - 54 RECORDINGS ────────────────────────────── • Speakeasy & Parlour - early jazz alongside the popular songs of the day (Original Memphis Five, Friars Society Orchestra, Rudy Wiedoeft's Californians, Knickerbocker Quartette, Criterion Quartet) • The Blues Queens - the classic women of 1920s blues (Mamie Smith, Lucille Hegamin, Trixie Smith) • Hot Dance Floor - dance orchestras, novelty bands and concert favourites (Fletcher Henderson, Vincent Lopez, Sam Lanin, Green Bros. Novelty Band, Billy Jones & Ernest Hare) Three curated collections, fifty-four sides from 1914 to 1924 - ready the moment you install. ────────────────────────────── A PLAYER BUILT FOR THE MOOD ────────────────────────────── • Cover-forward "now playing" screen with full transport controls • Background playback - keep listening with the screen off • Lock-screen & notification controls (play / pause / skip) • Sleep timer for late-night, lamp-lit listening • Adjustable playback speed • Light, Dark, and a premium Black & Gold art-deco theme • Your spot is remembered between sessions ────────────────────────────── PLAYS FULLY OFFLINE ────────────────────────────── All 54 recordings are stored on your device after install. Perfect for flights, the subway, or anywhere without signal - nothing to download, nothing to buffer. ────────────────────────────── PREMIUM - ONE-TIME PURCHASE ────────────────────────────── Unlock once, keep forever - no subscription. • Remove all ads • Unlock the exclusive Black & Gold art-deco theme ────────────────────────────── PRIVACY FIRST ────────────────────────────── Works fully offline. No account, no sign-up. We don't collect personal data - your listening stays on your device. Ads are provided by Google AdMob (see our Privacy Policy). ────────────────────────────── ABOUT THESE RECORDINGS ────────────────────────────── These are original 78rpm records first published in or before 1924, digitized by the Internet Archive's Great 78 Project and preserved exactly as they sounded - early jazz, the classic blues queens, the dance bands of the Jazz Age, and the popular songs people actually had on their shelves. ────────────────────────────── PUBLIC DOMAIN ────────────────────────────── Every recording in this app is in the public domain. This is an independent player and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Internet Archive, any record label, artist, or estate. Download On the Wax: 1920s Jazz and put a needle on the wax.
