It's nice to be able to say I can contribute a 78 now and again...

...As I've started taking the time to go through them when I see them in a charity shop.

(You never know... there may be an Elvis Presley in there, or a Gennet or Vocalion blues 78 that can fund my vinyl for me for the next five years :grin: - Although none have turned up yet :sad: ... Also have have been able to find the odd rare vinyl 10" lurking in them, like my Sidney Bechet And His Blue Note Jazzmen one, or the one I found yesterday - purely because it looked interesting - Arthur Smith: "Fingers On Fire" 10" on MGM)

But yesterday there was a big box of new stock in one of my favourite little secret charity shops - must have been someone's complete collection - and in there was what must have been a complete collection of Patti Page 78s - I'm not acquainted with this artist yet, but they'll probably be there in a month or so, if I decide to go back for them -

... but I did snag a Les Paul: Nola/Jealous, and another one which was just intriguing to me: Mabel Mafuya And The Junior Rockets: Phakhamile / Dumaza, on green Troubadour label, which, it appears is a South African disc.

(I'll be entering it in a bit)
