A much more typical 78rpm record dig. I was contacted by some friends who had a box of 78's for me. This is a pretty typical 78rpm record dig... and that's ok because a bad day of junking records is a good day.

As a collector I usually looked past the “too bad a shape” records as well… that all changed when I got a wind-up. They can still perform decently on a mechanical reproducer, and I certainly don’t feed the good 78s to it! If they’re cheap/free and the music’s actually good, I’ll gladly take a beater copy.

This is GREAT advice! I will mention it in a future video. I don't encourage the playing of high-grade discs on wind-up machines because experience and science both agree that it will damage them, however records that will sound rough on modern equipment can sound really good on a spring motor machine.

@@MarkAtnip Well of course they will, records of this time were for high society types and you would pay $1 for the record, play it a few times, then throw it in the bin. They were made to be disposable because that's the only way they knew how at the time, and what they knew was just you play it a few times until it's gone bad and that's just the way it was. That's why if you ever go bottle digging in old trash dumps in the woods you might come across many broken record shards.

I've been a record collector for 50 years. Ended up with 7000. Equal numbers of LPs, 45s and 78s. Time spent looking through records is never wasted. I always had about 30 or so songs or records that I was continously looking for. The real treasures were the ones I'd run across while searching for what I wanted. 😀

Even picking up a box of 78's that I don't think I will like can still provide enjoyment and some surprise additions the collection. I try not to judge people based on how they enjoy their collections, but our styles are very similar, so I think you are doing things the right way! : )

Ross Bagdasarian (more commonly known as David Seville, creator of "The Witch Doctor" and subsequently "The Chipmunks"), made a screen appearance in 1954 with Alfred Hitchcock in "Rear Window". He portrayed the composer whose enchanting music saved "Miss Lonely Hearts" from committing suicide. It is said that Bagdasarian was fond of the "Gene Carroll Animal Records" and strived to mimic them. The Gene Carroll Animal Records usually had a dialogue between 2 or 3 animal characters and was followed by a pertinent song. In the late 1940's, Carroll used a technique in which the 10-inch master disc was cut at 45 RPM but was intended to be played back at 78 RPM, making the human voices sound like cartoon animals. The actors slowed down their speech during recording achieve the effect. Bagdasarian achieved his effects entirely on recording tape.

For me doing something like this - digging through "barn-find" 78s - is at least half of the charm of this hobby (the other half being playing them and discovering new songs or artists), because you never know what you're gonna find - as you've successfully proven with your Patton record! Concerning 12:18: I think "Blues" doesn't pertain to the style of singing which was popularised by African-Americans, but rather to the dance of the same name. It is danced almost like an even slower waltz. (The description would fit the composition "Stormy Weather")

Other than a few scarcities by Ken Griffin (whom my Grandfather listened to frequently) the organ recordings are very cheap, as few people collect them.

The comment above is quite correct! If you haven't played a vinyl 78, do yourself a favor. The audio quality is BETTER than that of 45's and LP's from the era. This is ESPECIALLY true if they are clean. That much groove and audio information going under the needle every second creates some amazing sound!

Those instantaneous discs (Presto, etc...) often have commercials and recorded programming on them (when they come from radio stations). There is a good chance there are some unique recordings among them. See if you can identify any of the content and check if it has been preserved/archived.

Glad you aren't just tossing the rejects. I started out on mostly trash before I was a teenager. Now, almost 45, I am rather picky. I also love many of Fred Waring's early 30s records. Some of them are actually in "hi-fi." Victor phased this out because the high frequencies wore out too quickly. I also love early 40s Gene Krupa, especially with Anita O'Day. Killer drums, killer band. Also plenty of good sweet tunes from the band.

There were 1950's vintage promo 78's made of vinyl, but other of the records marked "unbreakable" are made of poly styrene. They will have a more traditional thickness with a square-cut edge. Mercury 78's were famous for this. If a 78 is made of vinyl, it will probably thinner and more flexible. The poly styrene 78's will be alot stiffer and will break if flexed too far.

Sambas - better if Brazilian recordings over American dance band collectors (Mambo's are another one, but jazz bands playing them are good). Thin RCA Vinyl - have a Hot Lips Page Let Me In - very cool Herbie Fields is ok, the Savoy's are better jazz. Cugat earlier Victor's are not bad, like the Congas, and if Miguleto Valdez is singing it is worth it. Too bad the swing bands are in poor shape. I still enjoy them, Kay Starr is one of the best of the 1945-55 era singers. I've been through this a hundred times myself - and yes this is a common batch of recordings. Rex Stewart Big 8 would be the one I would buy of all these. Finally - great information

Greetings! Yes, a 3 mil will do the job. If the disc in question are the post-war repressings of pre-war material, they are going to sound GREAT! If they are original post war 78's, they might sound a little better with a slightly smaller stylus (2.5ish) but it isn't going to make that big of a difference to most ears. (just trying to be as thorough, as someone will point out that post-war grooves are often slightly smaller)
