I picked up about 20 Glenn Miller 78s at a charity book sale held by the local Rotary club. All of them are in E+ condition. Price was CAN$2 a piece (US$1.50 or £1.25 or €1.40) Will be slowly adding all of them What did you buy today in 78s? Amy |

 | xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | Found three Iranian Columbia 78s from the late 1920s (the first Iranian 78s in the database) on the estate sale of a retired Methodist minister and his music teacher wife, all in E+ condition. Everything else were classical music or children's 78s. Still wonder how these records made it across the pond: http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/15066 http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/20005 http://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/20010ir |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Nice find xiphophilos I too have wondered sometime how some records end up where they end up. For example this LP which I picked up in a 2nd hand store: Chartbusters: Salute To Eurovision Given that Eurovision isn't well known in Canada and these Chartbusters LPs even less so I guess it like its former owner immigrated! Still doing my Glenn Miller's and have two more Broadway cast sets to do Amy |

 | vocalion red Member since Apr 2016 327 Points | I also wonder about that. Although I know exactly where most of the records in my collection came from, I wonder about the origins of those that I bought that weren't family pieces. Such as, and especially a few of the early Victors. I wonder just who owned them, what kind of record player they were first played on, what kind of circumstances they lived in, stuff like that. |

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | Two weeks ago I ran into my first nest of post-ww2 R&B 78s. There were 15, in a stack of about 200 C&W 78s. I was so excited, I even bought the duplicates that were there of two records. Maybe I should add that finding music by any kind of African American artist in the Pacific Northwest is a rarity in and of itself. |

 | Emmalicious Glad to be gay! Member since Nov 2016 4 Points | An older girlfriend got me into these. I haven't bought any myself (yet) but they are just lovely! Great for an evening in (with TONS of wine!) and a cuddle! :-) |

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | You didn't find these on an estate sale, or did you? I have never even seen a Berliner or a Beka in real life. |

| scrough No picture 'cos I'm not into 45rpm :( Member since Jan 2013 3425 Points Moderator | I've just received 7 78s from ebay that I won as one lot for 49p (that's around 70 cents USA) plus £3 post. No titles or artists were given, but I noticed an Edison-Bell 'Bell Disc' label among them from ~1910, so they had to be worth a bid. Three are fairly common - Peter Dawson, Scots Guards, and Black Diamonds. But the other four are reasonably rare music-hall - Will Evans,Arthur Collins,Tom Wootwell, and The Elliotts. So my luck's been in this week too! Edited by moderator on 3rd Dec 2016, 7:06 AM |
