As the title says the former printed paper Sleeve probably after literally a hundred years of sitting in it embossed itself onto the shellac both sides! Actually looks kinda cool haven't tried playing this one yet. Not sure if I should try and clean it off or keep it like this for display
A Pathe actuelle disc, laterally mastered to play on a regular steel needle phonograph. 1920s acoustically recorded jazz. Only one I've ever seen with a color variation like this.
Hello all this seems to be a meme record here? just curious my copy is actually in my “maybe junk pile“ (I think Patsy Clines version is ok?) idk just curious and confused about it being mentioned a lot?
It's a victor orthophonic with a metal diaphragm. I tried taking it apart but I didn't want to break it.
Did end up having to leave it behind because it was cracking in places :(
I only have a couple Indian records and they are by the popular (lata mangeshkar). An older collector I met had a ton (piles and piles) of records that he acquired in India back in the day. He said he went to a bunch of record shops and kept asking for old ones until he scored. I have no idea how he got them back to the states intact. Mine are from the Salvation Army.
I assume it’s some kind of radio broadcast - but I’d like to know if anyone has more info on it. Thanks!
Any idea what machine I would use to play these? Most are made of wood, not sure if they can even be played anymore because a couple are pretty scuffed up from years of storage. They are recordings of my great grandpa (other than the small vinyl which was a gift to him). Please give recommendations on what machine to play them on!
Picked these up at Goodwill yesterday for $2.99 for the lot. they came in a Sammy Kaye binder but none of those records were in it.All in decent shape, just need a good cleaning or two.
I've been given a small collection of 19 78s to dispose of, all shellac I think. I have no idea if they are worth anything as Discogs (my usual port of call) doesn’t seem to be very good for 78s. There is an album, which is pretty worn, with 13 records in it, plus 6 others. They mainly seem to be children’s songs. I’m not really looking at making much money from them (unless they’re worth a lot in which case I wouldn’t want to be ripped off) as I’d rather they went to people who could appreciate them - the Disney one in particular have lovely labels. So I’m looking for any advice on websites or people that would be interested. I’ve attached a few photos to give you the idea of what I’ve got.
I don't really collect 78s but I do like these stickers I found on shellacs at the recycling centre, so I want to take them off for collecting. I found this site cataloguing them, but it doesn't say how to unstick them. I can't find anyone else talking about collecting these stickers (especially without the record attached), and sticker removal tutorials I find are for price etc stickers that you don't actually want.
I tried soaking one record in water for half an hour, as you do for stamps, but that didn't work so I guess they have a non-water-based glue...
It was a great time. Record spinning is The Lonesome Road- Louis Armstrong
I screwed it up more trying to fix it. I don't know how to approach the issue with the ball bearings. At least I still have them and didn't lose any.
