$3.00 box of old 78 rpm records... what did I find?

going through a $3 box of 78's... seeing for the first time in real time.
Let me know if you want to hear any of them.

17:30 If the Arthur Godfrey Is this one What Is A Boy A-Side, and What Is A Girl B-Side. Fetches a lot of money In the UK. Played a lot on the Radio back In the 70's 80's. I have never see a Copy In the wild, and been through Millions of 78's. Very rare here.. The others were quite nice as well. Thanks for sharing.

Good Lord! Great find! And those records look like they are in great shape too! Now some of my records are dated....1902. 1903.

[@sideshowtink]

Lot's of great old labels in that box. The Christmas one alone is well worth the three bucks but there are MANY great ones in there!

You remind me of myself. I love record shopping, & collecting, from all eras. I had to subscribe.

Great historic finds

Frank Crumit recorded Little Wonder as well as full priced Columbia records. His Oh by Jingo is on 10" Columbia from 1920. I suspect he did the Little Wonder version at the same time.

Enjoyed the video! A few years ago, I bought a batch of about 60-70 10" 78s at a yard sale. Found three pre war Blues records in that lot. Sometimes you get lucky. Any good 45s in that box?

[@gordonteats298]

Cool

[@BlackPatti78s]

Nice!

I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but I guess you never know which once-worthless 78 will be used in a movie and suddenly become desirable. Look at that track that ends The Shining. Would anyone want (or at least realize they want) that record if not for The Shining? I admit that's the whole reason it ended up in my Discogs Wantlist, haha. You also got me with the Beatles joke, haha. I had the video going off to the side, but immediately looked over at the screen thinking you found one of those Indian 78s!

After you listen to them, they make a great shellac if you soak the pieces in alcohol. Also, they give off an incredible perfume when you've got a crowd around your fire pit.

[@fedal1928]

Alcohol destroys shellac...

[@robfriedrich2822]

Shellac isn't the main ingredient, it's only the glue that holds all the different powders together.

[@guywalker29]

@@robfriedrich2822 Yeah, and that stuff makes the color of the stain.

That Goldkette “Idolizing” has Bix on it. the best in this bunch.

[@Gennettor-nc8kx]

Indeed.

8:00 was waiting for this... underestimate physic

[@cazkasjmir]

Are you gonna put them on KZbin so we can hear them ?

[@jeffreysantner3717]

Great way you let them just fall. Every record you put on that pile was distracting waiting for them to tip.

[@litoboy5]

Great

[@MrSuperbatone]

I hope you'll give these a WASH before you play 'em! (Use a medium bristle toothbrush & diluted dishwashing liquid!)

[@robfriedrich2822]

3:17 this record is like a drill, it is black and Decca.

[@robfriedrich2822]

5:33 You scare me, when you stack records this way.

9:55 It seems, you have to learn it this way.

You have something against Russ Morgan?

Personal beef with Decca and Russ Morgan

Who doesn't?

[@The_forgotten_two810]

@@Gennettor-nc8kx I don’t I love Russ Morgan mostly from the caretaker but also the records are really old should not be destroyed but preserved for future generations to see

[@anyoutubeaccount]

what do you do with the ones you don't want? 78s are such a hassle all things considered and i hate seeing them broken in second hand shops

[@MrWolfSnack]

You sell them online duh.

[@henrysonnemann2597]

So you bought a Shit load of 78's with not one tune worth listening. I wish you more luck next time.🎉🎉🎉
