I was given some jazz 78s by a terminally-ill man. They had been much loved by his father. I began to research them and also to buy them from country op shops. I love their history, their physicality, their labels, and their sound.

chrisfinch 10th Apr 2015		78 RPM Walter Kingsley - I'd Climb The Highest Mountain If I Knew I'd Find You / The Prisoner's Song	http://www.78-records.com/78s-labels-columbia.htm COLUMBIA AUSTRALIA Columbia has been represented with their own subsidiary in Sydney since 1905. Miller [M] provides information on catalog numbers: it appears that the first release under the Made in Australia indication is in July 1926 with the dark blue label, catalog number 0517. Therefore, this record must be 1926-7, one of the earlier Columbia records made in Australia?
