Hauling 2000 78rpm records back homePosted by: ryan @ 12:46 am in records & music, vintage finds |
Have you ever come across a moment in life where you’ve asked yourself, “What am I getting myself into?” One of those moments for me was last fall when I hauled back home over 1000lbs of 78rpm records.

Lately, we’ve been playing a lot of American Jazz and Big Band. I thought we’d change it up today and put on this old opera record from Russia.

From the other side of the Decca record we featured a few weeks ago, C’est Si Bon, is another one of my favorite songs sung by Louis Armstrong.

If you’ve watched any period film from the 1930’s that features a toe tapping dance they were probably playing this song!

Tune Tuesdays: Big Butter and Egg ManPosted by: ryan @ 1:18 pm in blog news, records & music |
Suddenly, Tuesday’s just got better.
We’re introducing a new feature on the blog called Tune Tuesdays. Every Tuesday we’ll put up a random 78RPM record to share. I’ve finally finished building my 78 record player system and have been picking random ones to sample and record. Hopefully there will be something for everyone. This week’s tune comes from Harriet’s collection of 78’s I bought back in the summer titled “Big Butter and Egg Man” written by Percy Venable in 1926.

Harriet’s Box of 78RPM recordsPosted by: ryan @ 9:24 am in records & music, vintage finds |
I was born in the 80’s so I never really had the chance to listen to records growing up. By the time I developed my diverse taste in music, CDs were all the rage and my father had put most of his vinyl collection away. Over the years, I’ve become more of an audiophile and decided to begin listening to vinyl records. I purchased my first turntable (a Technics SL1200 MK2) and was floored by the sound. From that point on, I was completely hooked and began to buy lots of new LPs from my favorite artists. After a month or so, I began searching for vinyl on Craigslist and came across an ad for over a hundred old 78rpm LPs for a mere $20.
TWENTY DOLLARS.
At 20 cents a record I couldnt go wrong and immediately called the seller.
