W.B.lbl 20th Feb 2024		Also . . . wouldn't the label size at this point be a shade over 3.25"? That's presuming the pressing ring is 1.25" (31.75 mm). Their "Jukebox Classics" series of the '50's and '60's would appear to have been the last to have used the traditional 3" label size.



W.B.lbl 24th Mar 2023		Would've loved, in that set, to see at least one Led Zeppelin or Crosby, Stills And Nash . . .



chippe01 29th Jul 2016		George - These were put out around 1988 or so - they were meant for jukeboxes, though I don't know how a jukebox could handle these as they are supposed to be played with a lightweight cartridge and many discs just are not flat. From the box, it says from the original master tapes, so I don't believe they were mastered from Digital. You can hear tape hiss on many of the sides. Zabadak - if you can find them, yes, they are expensive. Single discs can go for about $20.00 to $40.00 on Ebay. There were 2 box sets issued at the end of the 80's with 25 discs each. I did find Volume 2, the complete box set on Ebay and paid almost $380.00 for it. Volume 2 was issued in 1989, according to the copyright on the enclosed card. It's again, 25 discs of what is supposed to be 50's music, but there is some 60's stuff in there as well. My initial comment was on a single disc I purchased from the Volume 1 box, and that disc sounded very good. However, the 2nd set, which I purchased in it's entirety, is a bit of a disappointment. They are all on colored see thru discs, and a couple are pure black. They are vinyl, and were not pressed very well. Many of the discs are bumpy and some are off centered a bit, not from the spindle hole, but the playing surface itself. On some discs, in addition to making the tone arm jump, it also rocks back and forth. This can't be healthy for the stylus, especially considering the added weight. To get some of the discs to play, I had to apply excessive weight to the cartridge, above the rated maximums for both my Ortofon 2M Mono 78 cartridge and my Shure 78S cartridge. The Shure cartridge handled the biggest problem discs a little better because I could apply slightly more pressure. Again, the sound is hit and miss with the discs. Some sound very nice and some sound too harsh. I could play them with either a regular stereo cartridge/stulys (Audio Technica AT95) or with the specialized "78" cartridge/stylus combos I listed before. I obtained better results with the mono cartridges because on some discs there is a kind of flanging between left and right channels which is very distracting - the worst offender being Good-Bye Cruel World with the constant cymbal throughout the song. I am recording the entire set with the 78 cartridge/stylus. On most of the tracks you can actually hear the tape hiss, and there is virtually no crackle or ticks and pops, but some discs do suffer from slight ticks and pops, especially at the end of the records. I will catalog them here once I finish recording them all. I have done 20 sides out of 50 so far, then I need to scan the labels. I really wish I could get my hands on the 1st Volume, but there's only 1 up for sale on Ebay, and that person wants $1,000 for the unopened set.



zabadak 25th Jul 2016		Are they expensive? :erk:



George Slv 24th Jul 2016		Mastered from digital? No doubt



chippe01 24th Jul 2016		This particular Rhino Reissue disc sounds fabulous. Very good 78 pressing on clear-colored vinyl, with double-sided hits. This is from the first volume of 25 discs put out in the late 80's.
