	Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator	Hey 78 RPM kids! I am starting up lists to document the records (as 78s) that were featured in the great 1990s EMI CD Series British Beat Before the Beatles. The set ran for 7 volumes covering 8 years (1955 to 1962). and had a companion book "Hit Parade Heroes: British Beat Before the Beatles" by Dave McAleer with a forward by Marty Wilde. As of today, I've only done volumes 1 and 2, but will try to do all of them, although the 1960 to 1962 sets will be pretty sparse, BUT if found on 78 infinitely COOL! There are some great tracks there, so if you want some super British Beat from the days of the Six Five Special, you need this records! Amy

Member since Dec 2014 252 Points	Hi, Jock_Girl, I don't know really if any of these records from, say 1957 or so, would be on 78rpm shellac, mainly because the record companies were fast adapting to, and adopting the vinyl microgroove(45rpm & 33rpm) single/EP and LP formats. I can picture you covering your ears/eyes and saying "Ooooh I don't wanna hear/see this...!" but its true! 78rpm was being shunted aside back then, in favour of the MUCH lighter(ooh my aching arms!) vinyl formats.

	Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator	Well -- 8 of the 20 tracks on the 1958 volume did show up on 78 .. I'll be doing the 1959 volume next. As for the later one - -I realise no UK 78s will exist, so those if found will be India etc. Amy

I have a couple of Indian-issue 45s on EMI-Columbia. Apart from the fact they were using the same label prefix, DB-xxxx(small x's representing the numbers), they prefaced this with a 45-, which clearly showed that as late as 1968 or 1969 they were still issuing in both 45rpm and 78rpm where by 1960 everywhere else in the world, the 78rpm format was(block your ears, Jock_Girl) all but dead! GASP!

GASP! Disagree Neil! I've got a very big 1960 EMI UK Catalogue, which is very heavy - you can hardly hold it up with one hand - which shows loads of 78rpm releases. There's one on ebay at the moment - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/alphabetical-catalogue-of-emi-records-1960-/271784059754?

The records themselves would cause a hernia if you tried to lift a boxful!

	Trainman Trainman Member since Jun 2014 2559 Points Moderator	That second figure sounds about right. I just checked, 4 pounds 6 oz. (just about 2 Kg.) Priority mail (it's too heavy for surface mail) from the US TO the UK came to right about $ 60.00 US, which is just about 40 pounds UK ($ 75.00 Canadian for Jock_Girl) Edited by Trainman on 12th Mar 2015, 6:31 AM

Amy I know that they are not official (I guess they are now classed as pirated copies) but did you ever come across the Whitburn and Britburn stuff that used to be found in the newsgroups. I recall on the Whitburn side they started posting sound recordings from the 1900s using sheet music sales to come up with "chart" positions.

Ah -- yes -- in fact I have ... not that I EVER downloaded any of it -- except for medicinal purposes Plus there was also a great series that was similar called 'Bubblegum MotherF...r.' That somehow just showed up on my hard drive one day Amy
