You could try sending a message to EMI Archive Trust to ask about their 78rpm transfer service. I couldn't get the form to send, but the email address is info@emiarchivetrust.org.


The following are held by King's College Sound Archive in London (based purely on a listing I have of just the catalogue numbers)... although they were quoting me £20 per side transferred last time I asked. I've asked my contact there if they are still doing transfers.

They also have HMV DB 5838... but could that be a typo, since there was no DB series, as far as I know? So maybe they have these two:

25….Thinking About The Wabash – Joe Loss & His Orc. HMV BD 5838
