Asch Records Kids T-Shirt

Moses Asch entered the recording industry during the first week in February 1941. Asch Recording Studios opened for business and began recording Jewish musicians singing folk songs from around the world – both in English and in Yiddish. Asch’s first major project was an album of readings from his father’s highly acclaimed book. After that, he met up with Huddie Ledbetter, and Asch wound up releasing records by all of the most prominent folk singers of the 1940s. The label continued until the end of 1945, when Asch left it for a new venture.
