Comments and Reviews


Pridesale 5th May 2024		Picked up an empty sleeve in a job lot of sleeves, Pye Group Sales one for Mercury and EmArcy with 148 pencilled on it



dunk78 10th Apr 2023



Madame Streggae 17th Sep 2020		I was given a box type wind-up around 1968 and it came with two 78s: Johnny Ray's 'Yes Tonight Josephine' and Lonnie's 'Cumberland Gap' on shellac, so I assume the punter had a choice between shellac and vinyl. My mother had the vinyl copy.



Redpunk 21st Jan 2019		Using a steel single use needle would destroy the record in short order only a light weight arm with a flip over type stylus or specialist cartridge should be used.



stoutfellow51 20th Jan 2019		This is the first 78 I have come across made from vinyl as opposed to shellac. I wonder what damage would have been done to them with steel single use needles.



Jock_Girl 7th Apr 2014		Although vinyl, they are nonetheless not microgroove and should be played with the regular 78 stylus -- 'green' :-)



Whyperion SUBS 7th Apr 2014		What should I play a vinyl 78 with, a Sapphire Stylus ?



Jock_Girl 29th Mar 2014		These vinyl 78s (Pye/ Mercury/ Top Rank) are truly wonderful sounding and show in every way why 78s are superior in sound to 45s and LPs.



moondog 29th Mar 2014		Early Top Ranks were also on vinyl but I assume because they used the Pye pressing plant.



TheJudge 29th Mar 2014		Pye seem to have been the first, certainly of the big labels, to switch to vinyl. I don't think the other 'majors' followed suit.



hedgehopperray 29th Mar 2014		Came across one of these amongst some 10" LP's in the local Sue Ryder shop yesterday, don't usually stray outside of my 45rpm comfort zone but just found the idea of a flexible (vinyl I assume) 78 interesting, were these just a PYE thing or did other labels do them too?



lorangrecords 27th Nov 2013		The sound on "Faithful" is awful, but I couldn'r resist you the grammo.



lorangrecords 27th Nov 2013



Alan Warby 2nd Jul 2013		"Little Darlin'" reached Number 3 in the NME charts, 31 May 1957. It was also awarded a Gold Disc.



caseellerbroek SUBS 30th Jan 2013		Heard on jukeboxes all over the world at the time, "Little Darlin'" was the top side.
