Comments and Reviews


Klepsie 10th Oct 2013		Since I now own a deck that will play 78rpms I gave this curio a spin. Turns out there are two tracks each side, all unaccompanied piano; A1 sounds classical, the other three sound popular, but I recognise none of them. The pianist was a pretty decent player.



carryonsidney 20th Dec 2012		I have a 45rpm 7" audiodisc equivalent, they are acetates. Audiodisc supplied acetates to [USA] professional music studios generally, they seem to be very common in the 1950's & 60's and then stop? I'm not sure but as I understand it, in the USA if you wanted to ensure your song was copy written you needed to record a demo of it, so you could 'register' the song? As an aside, the 45 I have has had a studio label pasted over the Audio disc you can see it on 45cat here, on the b side which I didnt scan [whoops] its just the plain audiodisc label. Note the 2 holes in the disc, the 2nd hole isnt a 'cutout or deletion" punch, these discs are attached to the machine by 2 pegs when they are cutting the tune, ensures non slip I think.



Klepsie 18th Dec 2012		See also this item on 45cat...



Billy Two 4th Dec 2012		[record=nc798125uk]I've just added[/record] what I think is a similar disc i.e. it's lacquer on a metal base rather than shellac...an acetate. These were privately cut discs, often for home use but also for demonstration purposes. Somewhere (in the attic, to be precise) I have a disc my Grandad cut in the 1930's while he was singing with the BBC radio choir - he apparently had ambitions at one point of being a professional singer, and it was cut to punt round the industry. I guess it's much the same practice that was still in operation well into the 70's, before cassette tapes became the easier cheaper option..



Klepsie 4th Dec 2012		To my untutored eyes all 78s look like acetates in their feel and inflexibility! There's something about this kind of disc here which suggests this is probably a home recording.



Dr Doom SUBS 4th Dec 2012		I've changed this to acetate but now I'm wondering if I should have left it. Does the disc resemble an acetate? I guess all audiodiscs are blanks?



Klepsie 4th Dec 2012		And here's the other 50% of my 78rpm collection, a mystery item for people to get their teeth into. As can be seen it's a 'recording blank' 78 with a pencilled title on one side (hard to read; "Charrington" could easily be "Chington" or a dozen other different names), and nothing at all on the other. Alas, I don't own a 78rpm deck, so I can't give any more clues other than to say that I found this in a US thrift store a while back priced at a quarter, couldn't bear to leave it behind, and had no end of faff getting it back to England in one piece...
