 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3745 Points Moderator | That reminds me... ... the other day I saw a curious item in a cheriddie shop record bin, it was amongst 10" 78s, but smaller... I'd guess it was a 7" 78: A Decca I think (only lingered for a moment) and it was a nursery rhyme or lullaby disc as I recall. As 78s are not generally within my range of interest, just wondered if these are unusual items? this was certainly the first I've ever seen. |

The labels look a little too large too
Which is exactly how Capitol/ EMI in the UK totally screwed up this one http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/10cl568 Amy |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3745 Points Moderator | It was a blue label with silver print, and because it was amongst other normal 78s (that i naturally assumed were Decca), I took it to be a Decca also... Wish I'd paid more attention to it now, and I can't remember were I saw it now, otherwise I'd pop back and get it. It was something very basic though, like Ba Ba Black Sheep, or some such... I remember the label was tiny (with reference to J-Girl's comment regarding label size) it was proportional to the disc size as the right sized label on a 10" 78 is to that size disc (if you follow me); Honestly, couldn't have been more than inch and a half- two inch diameter, as I recall noting how absurd it was... in all likelyhood it propbably didn't have enough space for a "label" in the sense of a brand, and only the colour of the label, and print etched into my mind as being a Decca. Haivng been out and about in the record bins this last month or two, there's been a number of times now I've seen things of curiousity or interest, and I've always not regreted grabbing them after! New Policy: Grab it, if it grabs me!!!! |

The other thing that made me suspicious is that there are a number of reissue box sets with replicas of the original discs for sale on ebay now
So there is, I never knew repro 78s were made:  I can spot a 60s 7" repro a mile away, so I suppose a 78 collector could easily spot these as being repros too. I didn't know these things existed either. That looks amazing. |

Original 78 labels when Mr. Johnson was recording were 3" diameter. These repros look like they blew it up to 3.625" or something.
