 | SeverlyWarpedRecord Member since Oct 2020 210 Points | I made this thread on the 45 forums, but I thought it would be an interesting subject for 78s also. What are the most common 78s you find at thrift stores, auctions, antiques stores, classified ads, etc.? Where I live, 78s are more common than 45s, and the most common 78 is ‘The Tennessee Waltz’ by Patti Page. |

 | Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25322 Points Moderator | Harry Belafonte's "Mary's Boy Child" is in nearly every heap of 78's I buy and in one case there were 2 copies of this awful 78https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/rca1022 Edited by moderator on 14th Mar 2021, 10:17 PM |

 | xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | In the U.S., it's anything post-ww2 by Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Patti Page, or Doris Day. One of the most common may be Bing Crosby's "White Christmas". |

 | j.monk Member since Sep 2017 167 Points | I think that here, in France, it's Anton Karas' "Harry Lime theme" on Decca. The record appears on every single lot you can find, on the list on every single seller, sometimes even several times. It's haunting. Edited by moderator on 14th Mar 2021, 10:12 PM |

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | No wonder then that Discogs lists 104 different versions of Anton Karas' "Harry Lime Theme"! 55 of these are Shellacs. |

 | fantasista Member since Feb 2015 435 Points | I couldn't name the individual titles, but in my area, post-WWII box sets of Lawrence Welk 78s are abundant. 78s in general are uncommon in the city where I live, though, probably because it was literally a small village until the population exploded beginning in the 1950s. |

 | Tane1976 Purplevinyl Member since Feb 2017 39 Points | New Zealand, has to be anything by the Andrews Sisters and/or Bing Crosby. But one I see a lot is the Victor Sylvester Orchesta covers of the 1940s. 1950s - I see heaps of Belafonte, Frank Sinatra 3 coins in the fountain and Red Ingle's let me in - all 1950s |

| Bamboo Member since Apr 2019 372 Points | I am steadily building up many copies of "Fats" Waller's 'My Very Good Friend the Milkman' - also that (in my opinion) very over-rated tune - 'Skaters Waltz'. I mean, how many different versions of this were made ? I must have all of them ............... many times :( .................. and yes, 'Harry Lime Theme' ...............

 | Scratchy45 ● In Revived 45s, disinterred 33&1/3s, saved 78s Member since Jul 2011 782 Points | The Harry Belafonte disc is also common in my more limited experience of 78-piles - along with plenty of Mantovani, David Whitfield, Harry Secombe etc. items from the 1950s. Continuing the seasonal theme of the Harry Belafonte disc, in 1940s-biased collections this one seems to crop up again and again (and I know this is not the featured side)  Edited by moderator on 27th Jun 2021, 6:59 PM |

| SeverlyWarpedRecord Member since Oct 2020 210 Points | Even here in Canada, Mantovani and David Whitfield are dirt common. It seems that their terrible music infests every pile of 78s around the world. I see many people saying Harry Belafonte too, but I have been looking for 78s by him for a while and I have only found one. |
