 | xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | Found 29 mostly Yiddish-language 78s on post-ww2 labels such as Banner, Apollo, Columbia F-Series, RCA Victor International Series, Stinson, and Master [Chicago]. The seller himself had found them several years ago at an estate sale. Some examples:      Edited by xiphophilos on 23rd Aug 2017, 1:57 AM |

 | Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25322 Points Moderator | Just bought a job lot of 45's, LP's and 78's. When I dug through the 50-plus UK 78's, over 40 were dated 1959. First time I've found so many late ones in a job lot. It also shows always go and look, as the person had stated all they had for me to look at was cassettes (which I rejected, as they were all fairly common).

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | At 7.8 oz/record, your 5,027 shellacs weigh ca. 2,450 pounds or 1.111 metric tons, only 167 pounds less than a Honda Civic (source). I hope you store them spread out evenly across your building. I recently read about an American collector who had 20,000 records (ca. 10,000 pounds in weight) and woke up to a strange sound in the middle of the night. The weight had made his house's dry walls crack (source). Made we wonder if I should have stuck with stamp collecting after all.  Edited by xiphophilos on 9th Sep 2017, 2:11 AM |

| Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25322 Points Moderator | That's a lot of weight. The concerning bit is I've only uploaded less than a third of my collection. The majority is stored in my garage in wooden record cubes on a concrete floor and in my front room again on a concrete floor. Edited by moderator on 9th Sep 2017, 4:10 PM |

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | So we are really talking about 7,500 pounds or three Honda Civics. Well, I've heard from someone else whom I met on my estate sale tours that his dad's concrete floors cracked because his entire, large collection was in one corner of the basement. Sounds like you've spread it out a bit better. |

| Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25322 Points Moderator | Seems OK so far. In the garage I placed planks on the floor, then set the cubes on that to spread the weight further. Edited by moderator on 10th Sep 2017, 4:19 AM |

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | Even when I was that K-Tel lad's age, I think I already owned more records than fit in that K-Tel Record Selector. That thing must have been a huge flop. Edited by moderator on 11th Sep 2017, 4:22 PM |

| Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25322 Points Moderator | Put 78's in there and as you flip through you snap a piece off the base of the record. |

| j.monk Member since Sep 2017 167 Points |  But the first, pre-trial pressing, without the "introducing" tagline ! 100 years this year. (Still need to receive it, though. ) Edited by moderator on 25th Sep 2017, 3:49 AM |

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | For sure a nice find, especially since you managed to track down a first pressing from May 1917 with the price note "75 c. in U.S.A." to the left of the spindle hole, as on this video: . The label you shared, as you indicate, is a repress from between 1918-1926. Victor had to add the tagline "Introducing "That Teasing Rag"" on represses because the composer, Joe Jordan, successfully sued the company for copyright violation.

| j.monk Member since Sep 2017 167 Points | Read on Wikipedia and on one of Alan Stutton's books that Victor had to repress the record and change the labels after loosing a lawsuit for plagiarism, late 1917: Quote:
Following lawsuits, Victor changed the label of both sides of the release. The inclusion in "Dixieland Jass Band One-Step" of a strain from Joe Jordan's 1909 "That Teasin' Rag" resulted in a suit for copyright infringement. The earliest copies of the first ODJB disc do not cite Jordan's rag but later copies noted "Introducing 'That Teasin' Rag'".
The one I found is then a first press. EDIT: you edited your message while I was writing mine |
