 | Jock_Girl ● A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Didn't buy - but was given a collection of about 100 78s from my father-in-law. Amongst the goodies: The Olympics - Western Movies - Reo 8265 (Canada) - 1958 The Bell Notes - I've Had It - Reo 8326 (Canada) - 1959 I don't think either appeared on 78 in the USA Amy Edited by Jock_Girl on 24th Oct 2015, 2:35 PM |

 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3723 Points Moderator | Hadn't been out in a while, and was getting a little twitchy... Wasn't that great in terms of anything new in the bins, but I did manage to find a superb copy of Stevie Wonder's Innervisions on vinyl (I see the entry for that has incomplete set of scans... so I'll put some up in the coming days - although don't let that deter anyone from doing it themselves -) So I decided to avail myself of the opportunity to take time in the classical vinyls... in particular I was seeing if I could get examples of the most favoured classical labels (early stereos) just as much for reference as anything. I managed to find three quite rare classical albums of this kind too... which was quite a good return on the time invested I thought! First one is Belshazzar's Feast (Walton/Bell), on Columbia red half moon label, which has that all important SAX catalogue number prefix (SAX 2319) Then a Dvorak - Rostropovitch HMV white label-with gold rim and text. (ASD 358) And finally one that really got me excited (I know, excited about a classical album... what on earth is going on with me?!!)... An Elgar selection on HMV red half moon label featuring Sir John Barbirolli, Janet Baker, and Jacqueline Du Pre (ASD 655). But it wasn't just the rarity or the label, I quite fancied experimenting with getting Cello music on vinyl, and you can't beat our Jackie! (I did pass on a Decca SXL prefixed: "The Firebird" (which I was very torn about, as even though it was completely knackered - torn sleeve, deep scratches etc. a Popsike search revealed it goes for £400+ in mint... but then sometimes you have to just let these things pass and see sense) However, the Elgar one really raised an important question for me, as on the reverse, it appears to have been signed by Jacqueline Du Pre! The question is about provenance for such signatures on any album found in a record bin, second hand... How do you know, let alone establish, if it's real? I searched for examples of her signature online, and it matches the couple of examples I've found, but still I am incredulous. Many people write all kinds of stuff all over album sleeves and labels, and it's not unknown for fans to just write the names of their idols over and over again on them (before either growing up or getting a restraining order!)... I'm thinking that this being a classical album and artist, this may reduce the likelihood of fan scribble, as opposed to Beatlemania for instance... and that as it looks like a felt pen which hasn't properly worked to begin with (The "J" is there but very faint), this may speak to it's authenticity as surely a forger might make it too perfect. I know this won't do much value wise even if it is real, being that it is classical, but I am genuinely over the moon to have what could be Jacqueline Du Pre's sig, and probably wouldn't want to sell it anyway now! But there have been other records I've seen out and about that also apparently have the artist's "signature" on, which I've just passed on as I tend to think I couldn't trust it, and how do you prove it anyway? This must surely be a concern others might have. (I'll be adding these albums soon too!) Edited by moderator on 3rd Jun 2018, 3:27 PM |

| Jock_Girl ● A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Picked up a small handful of 78s on Friday -- but some really interesting ones nonetheless. First -- two 1950s releases on a Canadian version of the German Telefunken label Telefunken Canada Given some characteristics of the label and the record itself, these appear to be pressed by London in Canada Next up is an autographed disc with signatures from band leader Mart Kenney, vocalist Art Hallman, and band member Bob Gimby, who would go on to great fame in the 1960s Bluebird B-4689 The most interesting is my discovery of an unknown Canadian release of the first recording by Matt Monroe. At the time he performed as Al Jordan, and recorded as a nameless singer for an el-cheapo label that released 78 rpm EPs of cover versions The Tops Hits of the Month Record Club This release also clears up a lot of mystery about the Canadian Cameo and UK Solataire labels Finally we have a 1948 London Canada release of a re-recording of Lili Marlene by the artist who did it first, Lale Andersen Lale Andersen Not too shabby for $1 a piece Amy |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3723 Points Moderator | I make semi-regular visits to certain charity shops at key moments in the year... (Timing is important, and you must let a shop "rest" for a while in order to see anything new appear) ...But on Friday I went to a local one and found, one after the other: Best of Derrick Morgan on Doctor Bird, Black Sabbath: Paranoid (2nd laminated Vertigo swirl!  , and McCartney's: Ram album.A couple of days earlier I found a whole bunch of rare hip hop albums too. The Sabbath album had biro drawings all over the front, and Ozzy's picture inside the gatefold had some marker embellishments to make him look like Frankenstein's monster... and the record looked horribly scratched, but, having barely contained my girlish giggling and inane smile at my luck at finding these, I get home and find it plays a treat. ...And all for 50p each!  (Biro comes off laminate with an ordinary pencil eraser, and the gentle application of a wetted finger - no jokes please - I am not yet attempting the marker on the unlaminated inside) |

| mojofilter Member since Jul 2012 1433 Points | I bought the Dirty Work CD by The Rolling Stones. Why? My wife likes the Stones, but is unfamiliar with a great deal of their work beyond what they'd play on the radio, or songs she's heard me listening to. I offered to play her all of their singles, in order, to show where they came from, and where they ended up. So we spent a few hours on Saturday where I started at the beginning and worked forward, until I got to One Hit (To The Body). I discovered that I didn't have a copy of that record, or any iteration of it on CD. I had to go to Amazon and get the album with two day shipping. Now I have all the Rolling Stones singles (not necessarily in their original format). |

| Jock_Girl ● A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Among the 50 or so 78s I picked up this past Saturday was this 12 inch 78 This is an amazing record. The performance just blows me away. The recording is super quiet even though its shellac. Amy |

 | Sundius-Larsen SUBS Member since May 2013 5302 Points | This summer i have been visiting the local flea markets, so far i have found over 120 LP's, 30 7" and 10 78's. I have an idea that i want folk music from as many regions and countries as possible, Most pleasing finds was LP's from the pacific islands, USSR, Albania and Iceland. |

 | zabadak Caddacack oh da ca-caddacack, shy shy skagellack Member since Jun 2010 4135 Points | Ok so I got home in time to check out the Cancer Research shop and their record pricing is always good for a giggle! There was a Dolly Parton LP in there - a Hallmark label one, no less! - and they wanted £9.50 for it! That's nine point five British poundlings!!! Pass!  |

Pass! Our local branch of Oxfam seems to go down that road too! Nothing (no matter how bad musically and condition wise) below £3.99, god forbid if it an artist they have heard from, then it is usually £9.99. Back to topic: today at the local boot I did rather well with about 50 pieces of vinyl including; Millie Small - Millie and her Boyfriends (original Trojan label) + 4 other Trojan releases. AC/DC - T.N.T. (Original Aussie issue on Albert) + a German issue of the same album Lou Reed - Transformer Jimi Hendrix - Midnight Lightning W.A.S.P. - First Blood Thunder - Back Street Symphony Sex Pistols - The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle 10" Buddy Holly - Listen To Me The Doctor Who 25th Anniversary Album Marc Almond - Mother's Fist... Most a £1 each with one or two costing £2.00 |

| sladesounds Turning rebellion into money since 1962 Member since Nov 2009 6556 Points Moderator | Found at the local car boot sale a box full of Reggae, Soca and Afrobeat releases that found their way down to sunny Pembrokeshire. Everything was £1 a piece. Slowly working my way through them but included in the haul were:     Edited by sladesounds on 30th Oct 2019, 12:38 PM |
