I seem to have become an unintentional collector over recent years. I love 45s in particular for the music in the grooves and also the fascinating artefacts they can be. The quirkier the better...

I started to buy LPs and 45s in the early-to-mid 1970s - and kept them - but took a bit of a sabbatical from record-buying for many years.

Since my interest was rekindled, my buying habits and motivations have changed. I'll still buy anything that tickles my fancy for musical reasons, but if the price is right, I'll also buy what's not already on here just to add it.

I've come to rediscover and appreciate more a couple of sometimes-overlooked formats in recent years - 78s and 10" LPs .

Scratchy45 29th Sep 2024		78 RPM Johnny Dee - Sittin' In The Balcony / A-Plus Love	With a mod to freakbeatjames, new scans added from a copy actually in hand - mods please reprioritise.
Scratchy45 29th Sep 2024		78 RPM Pattman - Liebestraum, Part 1 / Liebestraum, Part 2	Scans added. I have to admit I can't see the artist's name without mentally hearing the one-word chorus of Neal Hefti's 1960s superhero theme, suitably amended ....
Scratchy45 24th Sep 2024		78 RPM Reser's Dance Orchestra - Yes, Sir! That's My Baby / Pango Pango Maid	This week I failed to win a very elegant little portable gramophone in an auction. However, in the box of immaculately kept discs that accompanied it, nearly all with variations on the same shop sleeve, I spied and photographed this disc on the UK Actuelle label - a rather striking label I've never seen before.
