78 Record Mystery Box Reveal Antique Store Find ~ Holy Grail Maybe???

[@scottchapman7128]

what I love about old records is, it's like I'm time traveling, to a time of long forgot, wish that was possible!

5:00 had this same record, i found it broken in the box i bought from the thrift store a few months ago. tossed it in the trash.

[@mrrgstuff]

Oh well, it was worth a look. I have bought some boxes like that, but I'm looking for 1930s and earlier so if it looks later I tend to leave it nowadays. I do sometimes buy the record just for the sleeve though. Thanks 👍😀

Yeah you lose more than you win lol. I just picked up 600 total in the past 2 days from 2 different sellers and have around 125 keepers. But at least I didnt pay a lot for either!

[@mrrgstuff]

@@ThePhonographStop That's good. I think one of the problems is what to do with the ones you don't want. Can be hard even to give away ... 😕

[@Gerk8]

At least you got an Ink Spots 78. Every time I see an MGM label my brain says Hank Williams! But it’s usually Joni James. 😔

[@ThePhonographStop]

Aint that the truth lol.

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

Definitely that 1946-1953 era I don’t care much for…No good Bop or R&B or Country of the era. at least you got a couple decent ones..and thankfully no Ken Griffin organ solos! And you got a case for your good stuff!

[@ThePhonographStop]

Yes!! And some fun listening at best!

[@luvmyrecords]

Well, at least you have some nice listening. BTW - Gracie Fields was a British Music Hall comedienne who made a lot of great records. "Now is the Hour " is a traditional Maori farewell song that became very important to the UK during WWII. Also, if I may, OKeh is pronounced, "Oh - Kay." Hope you've been enjoying the music these past couple of years (and not playing those records on the machines in the video.)

As she sailed away to America for the duration.

Those were packed in too tight. A lot of the sleeves were damaged. Too bad the sleeves don't always match the record label.
