As I understand it the University of Huddersfield has a visitable (mon/tues) of British Items ( sheet music/ scores / discs / items originated by British artists and artists in Britain or recorded on British labels) The BL seems to be increasing slowly the collections it has. The United States websites have an amount of British material that they have incorporated into MP3 and other sound formats , though it is by no means comprehensive from universities and govt run sources. I didnt know about the Kings College ( Strand or other physical site ?) collection, are they looking to expand their holdings? Quote: danceband91 Re Facebook trading , I am finding actually US based persons are quite keen on British discs of all eras, It is always worth chatting even if no trading is possible in physical format (given FedEx/USPS and present day tariff/import charges) without care and crossed fingers. I find it interesting how the UK majors sometimes used US original metalwork/tapes but recut sometimes to "British" Ears and sometimes just dubbed US discs to UK masters , with or without various audio correction (this mainly in the 1950s ) I think I might be interested to learn how Philips sourced the US Columbia items (from a logistical point of view). Would I be right that the 78 era can be chopped up into Pre WW1 / 1919 to 1939 ,(from Jazz to Big Band) WW2 (Soloists and Swing Era and Vocal Combos) Post WW2 - Crooners and here comes the R and B , Goodbye big Dance Bands ? to 1960 . There was changes in music , and changes in technology along with the arrival of the LP which gave as much change to UK Label marketing as the single did. Quote: Mike Wilson1 take a quick look at my latest collection page as I think I might have a couple of discs from your era , though might not be your interest that you might have overlooked completely
