somethingvinyl Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I just found some Chuck Berry Chess 78's a couple weeks ago. Paid $4 each but they're in pretty good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmhouses Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 to the OP: I know a thrift store that has honestly about 4,000 78s in store. I'd browse them for you but...fuck that tbh. You should come hit it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice!! to the OP: I know a thrift store that has honestly about 4,000 78s in store. I'd browse them for you but...fuck that tbh. You should come hit it up. Haha, yeah I'd love to do that, too bad it's all the way over in Scotland There's a secondhand store around the corner that carries vinyl and comics, and a selection of 78s as well. The owner keeps the good ones that come in aside for me. Got some pretty good ones there: Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie,... Always around $4 for one record. Mostly jazz stuff, no blues records as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 So I made a blog where I'll be posting recordings from blues and jazz 78s that are in my collection, just for the fun of it.

arem Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I just finished this book about 78 collectors and their whole scene, very entertaining quick read. The consensus is that no one will ever have a collection like Bussard or Tefteller again. Even if you had the money, the records simply don't exist. Anyway, highly recommended. http://www.amazon.com/Not-Sell-Any-Price-Obsessive/dp/1451667051 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 I've read that book. Thought it was ok, some parts were dragging on a bit. Also I thought the focus was a bit too much on the blues genre. As if those records are the rarest of them all, while that's not always the case. They get the most publicity, yes, but there's a difference in a record being valuable in todays market, and it being rare. Those Robert Johnsons for example, go for outrageous prices (this one didn't even sell because the reserve wasn't met, highest bid was $30.100,00 : http://www.ebay.com/itm/161395219608 but in the grand scheme of things aren't really that rare. They pop up quite frequently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pop up quite frequently... That's one of the points that gets made in the book, that the country blues stuff has been arbitrarily made the most valuable by collectors when there is equally rare and valid music from all genres that is less recognized. Not much can be done to change that though, short of one of the major heavyweights collectors suddenly declaring that they are done with blues and that some other style is now the most desirable.

pamfletty Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Are your 78's all original? Where'd you find that Lightnin Hopkins? The Blind Willie Johnson is a reissue, the rest are originals. Got lucky with the Hopkins on ebay. All my blues 78s are ebay scores, except two Sonny Boy Williamsons on Trumpet I picked up in my hometown. The seller's father bought those in the States some 30 years ago, and had been stored in a box ever since. My jazz records are all flea market and 2ndhand/thriftstore finds. I will be posting more jazz as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 ^ Very nice. I found a Sam Hopkins 78 on the Hollywood label. Thought I struck gold. Sold for $10 on ebay, haha.I found some Sonny Boy Williamson 45's for $5 a piece before. They're not great, but I think any record dealer worth his salt automatically puts $20 on SBW stuff, regardless of condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Illinois put me to sleep. Sounds like film score from the 40's to me. Django on the other, while similarly dated in the sound, his playing is so ferocious for the time. Guy would still put a ton of guys to shame if he were alive now.

pamfletty Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Illinois put me to sleep. Sounds like film score from the 40's to me. Django on the other, while similarly dated in the sound, his playing is so ferocious for the time. Guy would still put a ton of guys to shame if he were alive now. Yeah, Django is something else! Check out this rare footage: Django Reinhardt is one of the undisputed guitar jazz masters. Is he the most important jazz guitarist of all time? I don’t even know who else would be in the running for that…. Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian? Django’s pretty close to the top, by anyone’s reckoning. Reinhardt gets extra coolness points for being a gypsy, for possibly being illiterate, and for losing the use of his ring finger and pinky in a fire when he was 18 years old. That fact, of Django’s maimed hand, has heightened interest in his technique, because if nothing else it forced him to rethink his approach to the instrument. In 1939, a promotional film in English was made for Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli and the Hot Club of France. The title of the video is “Jazz ‘Hot.’” It’s possible that the video was generated for a tour of Britain the Hot Club would do that year. The first half of the video is a little introduction to jazz; the second half of the video is a performance by the Hot Club. If you’d like to see Django’s fingers dance all over the guitar with a camera placement designed to showcase it in all its glory, here’s your chance. Stéphane Grappelli, of course, also appears on violin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXKztQaCh24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamfletty Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 A couple of weeks ago, I picked up about a 150 78s, all jazz. After weeks of listening, sorting and shifting (got rid of about 60 records that weren't my cup of tea), I made some new recordings. So, lots of new stuff @ http://bluesandjazz78s.wordpress.com and http://www.mixcloud.com/Bluesandjazz78s: Jay McShann’s Trio, Sister Ernestine B. Washington, Sidney Bechet And His Blue Note Jazzmen, Lionel Hampton And His Orchestra, Wingy Manone And His Orchestra, Johnny Dodds Black Bottom Stompers,... More cool stuff coming up, probably next week or so (or when I find the time): Thelonious Monk, Art Pepper, Stan Getz,... dickcritter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
