I'm a collector of (mainly) R&B singles. I prefer U.S. music from the fifties and sixties on British pressings. Most of my collection consists of 45's, but I own a few 78's as well and last but not least, there are some CD's in my collection too...
Most favorite artist: Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

telemolendinum 18th May 2013		78 RPM Paul Godwin - Mikado / Die lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow)	The same goes for me. It looks mysterious, as if it came from another world (like more of these old 78-labels). They sometimes are fantastic works of art.
telemolendinum 16th May 2013		78 RPM Julius Patzak - "Gasparone" O, Dass Ich Doch Der Räuber Wär / "Waldmeister" Die Ganze Nacht Durchschwärmt	Inscriptions in the dead-wax: A-side: 5314 1/2 GR B-side: 5315 1/2 GR and both sides: Mechan. Copt. 1935.
telemolendinum 15th May 2013		78 RPM Paul Anka - You Are My Destiny / When I Stop Loving You (That'll Be The Day)	Getalife, you did a good job. You can't see where both images come together. To make one image out of two scans, is easier said than done because of the different lighting of the two scans (as is the case with my scanner). But with a bit of skill..
telemolendinum 14th May 2013		78 RPM Paul Anka - You Are My Destiny / When I Stop Loving You (That'll Be The Day)	My glass board is approximately 22x32cm., so big enough to scan the centre (with it's label) of the 78 RPM. single. Of course the whole disc doesn't have to be on the glass necessarely. In the case of scanning a 78 record-sleeve, I first scan the upper half and after that the lower half. Then I fit them together with Photoshop.
telemolendinum 14th May 2013		78 RPM Paul Anka - You Are My Destiny / When I Stop Loving You (That'll Be The Day)	My scanner is also too small for these large 78's. I solved the problem by 'removing' (with an iron saw) part of the frame (plastic edge) at the front of the scanner to make more room for the 78. To get a sharp image, the disc has to lay horizontal flat on the glass.
