Profile: | David Giovannoni (b. 19 August 1954, Sacramento, California) is an American audio historian, researcher, and collector of early "acoustic era" records based in Derwood, Maryland. After a prolific career as an audience research analyst between 1972 and 2004, David retired from the radio broadcasting industry, focusing solely on his unique record collection accessible online to historians, researchers, and record producers via The Library of Historical Audio Recordings at i78s. Giovannoni is one of the most influential figures in the early recorded medium preservation today, alongside unorthodox and eccentric collector Joe Bussard (1936—2022), who had a drastically different approach but equally made his priceless private collection accessible to fellow music lovers, researchers, and reissue labels. Giovannoni authored liner notes for many archival releases, which got nominated for several Grammys in the "Best Album Notes" category and won the "Best Historical Album" at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards for the Lost Sounds - Blacks And The Birth Of The Recording Industry 1891-1922 2×CD compilation in 2007.
