$0.09

Stay tuned for audio files and massive write up....

James Joyce recorded this excerpt from Finnegans Wake in 1929. The disk was recorded by C.K. Ogden with Joyce reading the eight and a half minute passage mostly from memory as his eyesight was struggling under the poor studio lighting. Demand led to subsequent pressings by His Master's Voice and two North American booksellers. This 78 record was issued by the James Joyce Society, NY, NY and distributed by Gotham Book Mart.

All issues of this recording are scarce.
