They are not as flexibel as vinyl is but they can bend a bit so it's not that difficult to make a good scan out of the labels. Most people (like I do) has a A4 scanner wich means that the record can only be placed on the glass plate with one end on and the rest over it wich makes the scan blury because it's lifted from the glass plate on one end .. how to overcome this ? One thing I discovered is that 78 records can indeed bend without breaking .. Just get the cover of or open from the scanner and place the 78 record over the glass plate .. you will notice now when you do a scan the whole image will be blury as I said ... Oke, .. What you need is .. One white inner sleeve from a vinyl album or some other large white paper. 2 bottles filled with water (70 CL). Place the record on the scanner. Place the white paper over the 78 .. because we need that white hole in the middle. Then place the 2 bottles of water gently on the 78 in the middle .. gently because we do not want to break them of course. Now do your scan and be amazed how wel placed the label is now onto the glass plate of your scanner. These scans I did this way were added recently ..
