78's archive...

Hello,

I've been dabbling with the Internet archive 78's section that's contributed entirely by archive users. Had to share this with you all:

www.archive.org/audio/collection.php

Some recording are clean but most are as found, which sounds just fine too!

      Hello Rick,

      Thank you very much for the invitation, I'll definitely stick around for the 78’s discussion. Great tribe BTW:)

        I am hoping to get a system together where I can transfer the 78's that I have into digital. At that point I'm hoping to share them with other members of this tribe!

        I travel with my job quite a bit and there are literally TONS of antique/junk shops all around small-town West Virginia so I am browsing these stores and picking up 78s all the time.

        I plan to start the conversions this winter (seems like a nice cold-weather activity).

        Anywho...good having you here. And if you'd like, share a little about yourself and what your musical interest are.

          Okey dokey,

          I'm interested all styles of music but more specifically from both composer and sound design point of view. I got into 78’s as a public domain resource for conceptual sound art project that’s well over due. Firstly, I love to hear the condition of the record and secondly the song’s construction melodies etc. Sometime I hear a melody in the condition like a dust patch or scratch that’s loop worthy maybe. 78’s are a big source of inspiration to me!
