Early Elektra Music Clips
 
These selected excerpts offer a chronological snapshot of Elektra in the years 1952-1967, excluding the more famous of our rock signings which belong to a different era and are still commercially available.

To preserve the authentic feel of the period we have dubbed direct from the vinyl pressings. When you hear the occasional clicks and pops, especially from the earliest recordings, you will have an authentic experience of those times.
