Perhaps starting 20 years ago some ability to look through the odd obscure antique shop resellers might find something, - there is one near me bought in cheap 78s from auction but it takes time to sort through them and they dont keep things in good order or display. 6) Mis-attributes where the backing band OR the main artist have got noted in the boo, but it is displayed or printed differently on the disc. 7) It might be that items might turn up in australia/canada / US if post war emigrants to the new lands of opportunity took their stuff with them ( or another loss if they didnt ) 8) It is worth looking through old editions of The Gramophone magazine for further information on reported issues.
