Aadam Jacobs Collection Project

Aadam's first recording was an AMM show in May 1984. In addition to posting the audio from the show, team member @kliked.bsky.social penned a blog to commemorate this first recording. Check it out.

Another one coming this week. Stay tuned.

The project team will discuss. Unfortunately, we don't always know if the recording is and AUD, SBD, or matrix. Sometimes it is more obvious that others, but at this point, without knowing for sure, we've erred on not indicating the source. We'll review to see if there is something we can do.

No. Hope you continue to follow us and our progress.

Thank you for the article, Chicago Reader! We are excited about the things and sounds to come.

And tens of thousands to go...
