carlwinslow Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Picked these up today. Had an old roommate that loved this guy. Cant seem to find much information about em. They are all on colored vinyl. One set has 3 records. The other has 4 records. I think the colored vinyl has a limited number but not sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanRees Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 What exactly do you mean what are they? My guess would be they are meant for a phonograph and not a turntable, are they extremely heavy? My dad has a few old book sets like that and thats what they are. http://www.discogs.com/artist/309976-Jelly-Roll-Morton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 they look to be records by Jelly Roll Morton. But, I'm no expert. ratbrain, Mourning Wood and Princess Logan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlwinslow Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 I guess I am wondering pressing info. I believe they are 12" 78s. They are not very heavy. And thanks for the sarcastic reply rooksbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yeah guys, stop being dicks. This is easy. Just get the pressing numbers on Jelly fucking Roll Morton 78's from 1950. scottheisel and seamoney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 They made more than they should have. Vinyl was THE thing back then. Like, did they even have TV's then? Even if they did Ward would only let the Beav and Wally watch for 30 minutes so they spent the rest of their time spinning these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
