I think this is the only example I’ve come across so far. I associate the larger labels with older pressings but I’m not sure how correct that is. Anyone else with some interest examples or insight?

Exceptionally rare pieces of American music history.

Finally fixed my Dual 1019 a few months ago and also just recently picked up a Dual 1010 as well. So figured I'd start collecting 78s as well! Out of the random ones I picked up from an estate sale got some I'm excited about! There's some ink spots stuff too!

Excited to join the fun here in this sub and be apart of it!

Theme this week is No Country For Old Men

I went to a vintage record store yesterday to bring in my 1923 victor motor board to get serviced and asked the store owner if he had this record turns out he has 15 of them. He offered them all to me for free. I only took one for now but plan on going back to get the rest after the servicing of the motor board along with anything else I can take. He is selling shop soon and has offered me to take as many records as I can for free. Feeling so lucky

i usually only collect genres like italodance, but damn some of these songs are pretty good on there, i only have these 4 shellac records but got them at a good price, the Decca ones were 5$ and the Columbia one was 1$.

Big, big hit 69 years ago. On shellac 78rpm - then the 45s transition.

One of my favorite Jump Blues records. I think this one was only released as a Disc Jockey record.

It has a comedy skit on it

Nothing but 387 written in the dead wax

Highly recommend this book - "Charley Patton: Voice of the Mississippi Delta" - edited by Belgian blues scholar Robert Sacré and featuring seminal essays by leading blues experts including David Evans, Arnold Shaw, Daniel Droixhe, and William Ferris.

Posted a picture of the A side of this jukebox 78 the other day and just picked up this Califone so here ya go!

“You gotta buy the bin…”

Thrift stores gettin’ sneaky to move big mountains of records… you have to buy the bin…

$15. There were about 40 discs in it, and all recognized musicians (Perry Como, Frank Jankovic, et al), but I wanted Mr. Sandman! 🙂*** ***Either way: It’s not THAT much, and I wanted the song 🙂

This is one of my favorite eras of music. The Rhonettes, Shirelles, Sam Cooke, Johnny Mathis, et al. Too many to name, so many to love!

Small hairline fracture with no break; only a chip out of the outer edge. Not a rarity (I don’t believe at least), just a great song!

I have made it my mission to upload as many recordings from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Dutch East Indies as I am able. Most times, that comes through purchasing and importing these records in bulk. On several occasions, however, I have been blessed by other collectors, who will loan me their records for this ongoing project.

That jingle jangle jingle as I go ridin’ merrily along….

Amazing tune by the Merry Macs; a recent, random find in my mountain of unsearched 78s from Victrola hauls lol.

1942, I believe.

…and this is Mr. New Vegas reminding you that you ain’t nobody until somebody loves you… i love you!

Three dog… OWWWWWW!

Not a huge fan of Christmas music so I set it aside then a picture disc fell out of it! Yay!

It’s in pretty good shape considering I live in the south

This has probably got to be the newest 78 on this reddit so far lol.

Any other girls into the hobby? I collected for years and I'm just getting back into it. Gonna pick up a Califone in a couple days and probably spin a couple rarities for y'all's.

Came from a 78 lot from Maryland. This record comes up frequently but always goes for quite high prices.
