The recordings are public domain, you don’t need copyright permission! And have you emailed EMI Archives? I do have quite a few “wants” but the ones I’ve been after for a while are very elusive. Apart from eBay, Discogs and Music Stack, where else can you buy them online? I have saved searches on eBay, and a wants list on Discogs. Unfortunately I think many of these older and scarcer 78s are just hiding away in people’s collections - many of them probably aren’t internet users. A lot of people just seem to hoard things and won’t share, alas. So maybe you might not see such records until the owner dies! Some people who deal in 78s might not even bother with selling online - I met one at the Birmingham fair on Sunday who I know doesn’t. And people who aren’t dealers might not think such records are worth listing online. Some dealers used to respond to “wants” lists, but I’m not sure if anyone still does.
