Making its first high-minded and forward-thinking move in recent memory, Universal Music Group has donated 200,000 master recordings to the Library of Congress. A boon to the Library's 3 million-strong collection of recordings, the discs and tapes, from the 20's through the 40's, will be digitized -- many for the first time. We foresee an exhibit at the Smithsonian: "For the Record: The Last Time Major Labels Consistently Released Good Music."Universal Donates 200,000 Classic Recordings to Library of Congress originally appeared on Switched on Tue, 11 Jan 2011 15:50:00 EST.
