I have loads of these even some nice 12" 78 sets

@DetroitStars 3 года назад

Most of the 12" 78s I've come across through the years are classical or semi-classical. But, there is one popular vocal artist, Sir Harry Lauder, that I've found many times on 12-inches. Lauder was a Scottish singer and comedian that achieved international success. I'm looking at my copy of one of his big hits, "Roamin in the Gloamin." It's a 12-inch, one sided record on the purple Victor label. According to Discogs, it's the 1917 repress, and what's really interesting is the $1.25 price printed on the label. That translates to about 26 dollars in today's prices. Think about that next time you hear somebody complain about the high prices charged for vinyl today.

@3ld919 3 года назад

Ever run across the old 78's that people used a machine at home to record on? That would make a cool segment.

@Recordology 3 года назад

Excellent question. Most of the time when you get content matched for music by using more that ~3-4 seconds of music, the copyright holder will automatically be assigned all ad revenue from that video - so I wouldn't get in trouble I would just not earn from that video.

@adamrichards3174 3 года назад

There was a short lived 33 1/3 rpm consumer format in the early 30s, and some 16" radio transcription discs were also 33 1/3.

@Recordology 3 года назад

Correct! It took time for 33 1/3 to reemerge in the consumer market.

@olderendirt 3 года назад

I always thought they were bakelite. I learned something new. I used to play old 78s from the early 1900s that were my grandparents. Swanee by Al Jolson and Horses, Horses, Horses were 2 of my favorites. They had 2 that I think were bigger than a 33 and only recorded on one side, but maybe my memory is off about the size. One was Listen to the Mockingbird. I really got excited seeing this video topic today. Some of my old inherited ones are black and rust color swirled together and look really neat spinning. I also remember having some kid records in the 60s that were yellow vinyl. I'm not sure if they were small 78s or 45s. Thanks for all the cool content.

@williamnovak1201 3 года назад

Yes, I have a Victor 12 inch 78 rpm record that I got from my grandmother’s estate. It is Harry Lauder’s “Breakfast in Bed on Sunday Morn.” It has several patent dates on it ranging from September 22, 1903 to August 11, 1908. The interesting thing about it is that it has no “B” side! No grooves, no label, nothing!

Aside from having many 10-inch 78's, I have several 12-inch 78's which are mostly classical music, but I also have a 12-inch 78 of Benny Goodman and his orchestra performing his classic 'Sing, Sing, Sing' which is one of his best tunes and a long one at that which requires both sides of the 12-inch 78. :)

@Recordology 3 года назад

I believe that version is Sing Sing Sing is quite rare!

@shellac4682 3 года назад

There were occasional jazz 12" 78's through the 1930's. With the rise of small jazz labels in the 30's and 40's, such as Bluenote, Commodore, Keynote, Black and White, Hot Record Society and others, the 12" format became much more common because the extra playing time gave the musicians the opportunity to "stretch out". I have quite a few and they are worth hunting down.

@peterking2794 5 месяцев назад

I have 'Saint Louis Blues' ("Concert Version") by Bing Crosby with Duke Ellington & his orchestra on 12" Columbia DX898. The other side is 'Creole Love Call'.

@royalpemberton8724 3 года назад

Check out a label called Rivermont, they have modern stereo vinyl 78 rpm records, all jazz, produced in the last few years, with excellent sound quality. Funnily enough, the other day I found the first release on the Audiophile record label, which was run by the late Ewing Nunn....a 12" microgroove ruby red thick vinyl 78 disc by the Harry Blons dixieland band recorded with a condenser mic in stunning fidelity--mono sound aside you'd find it hard to believe what you're hearing was recorded in 1950! Three full length songs per side; side 1 plays for 9 minutes, side 2 for 8 1/2.

@KoryGilesMusicGroup Месяц назад

I love those old sleeves. I have a Columbia sleeve, circa 1940s or 50s, with a little notice saying that the record was best played with a Columbia needle. Interesting stuff! Also, Pathé was a huge French media conglomerate, not too far separated from American companies like Warner Bros. Pathé started out in the movie business back in France, and then diversified into different countries and industries, including, as you’ve said, a record label. They did have an American film division, but that was absorbed into the RKO film studio in the 1930s. They had also a video game publishing division, several TV channels in France and Italy, and even once owned a stake in MGM. Pathé is still around, and is one of the oldest continuously existing film studios, but it’s safe to say its glory days are over.

@JohnCran 3 года назад

I've been going through the 78's that have been handed down to me and just today came across 3rd 12" 78 which unfortunately was broken (2nd broken one so far). I hope that there aren't too many more. The Australian Archives have a webpage that displays a large number of sleeves that are colourful and advertise all sorts of stuff. I have a number of sleeves that advertise music shops in Ipswich and Brisbane. My family come from Ipswich.

Also a lot of the v-disc were a lot of the regular recordings with the v-disc label put on for overseas shipment. And a lot were destroyed while being shipped from being made from shellac.

@Recordology 3 года назад

The V-Discs I am most interested in were the purpose recorded ones that included special messages to the troops etc. Specifically the ABAEF Glenn Miller recordings made before the band shipped overseas. Another reason why the V-Discs are rather scarce is that they were illegal to own until relatively recently. They were all supposed to be destroyed. None of the artists received royalties. Thankfully some folks stashed them away! They aren't impossible to find - usually run about $35 on ebay.

I know 👌, back in the day, records were very heavy. I knew 👌 that they were made of something similar to shellac 🐚, but I think more on Bakelite. Simply bend one of these records in the slightest way, it will break. Drop it, it will break. Use it as a Frisbee, it will break. I don't know 👌 if the diameter of the record is a matter of better, or for worse. That could, however, mean that you'll have to change your record player's speed. I also understand that more music can be crammed onto a larger diameter record. I'd store those records on end, in their sleeves, not 👎 stacked on top of each other. I'd also invest in those rice 🍚 paper sleeves for these records. They reduce static cling. Your friend, Jeff.

@Recordology 3 года назад

Shellac was what was primarily used. Bakelite was what early record PLAYERS were made out of.

If you were to look at Victor or Columbia catalogs from the 20s and 30s, you might find some listed as you said for classical works, but alot were listed for Dancing. That was the other point of recording on a 12inch. Also, both of what you showed were obviously later ones. The earliest from the turn of the century (meaning 1900), to I believe it was 1929, did not have a lead in groove as it were, you had to gentily nuge your needle into that first groove. The lead in groove was developed when Victor invented the first automatic Victrola in around the end of the 20s. Wich were Electric in the sense of the motor, and maybe a light in the cabinet. But the reproduction was still acoustic. Thats when a 12inch 78 really proved useful, because you could hear an entire classical peice almost uninterrupted as it were, versus before.
