Not that I see a ton of them these days, but I sadly almost never look at 78s. Sort of scared I'll fall down the rabbit hole of having to buy those heavy kraft sleeves, build special shelves, start wearing tweed clothing, etc.
@Rich - Same here, I bypass them (but love collections on digital/CD or vinyl comps). I have a friend who does not collect 7" in the same regard, the rabbit hole. Maybe someday, it is for sure a loving venture to fall into.
@Rich and Otis ALL of my 78s are FREE stuff. I have friends at record stores and they'll call me and say we are goin' out of biz so come grab these 78s and I do. :-)
@MB - In 1996, my stepmom's parents threw out a 78rpm collection, over 500 platters, free. Took them down to a local shop in Reno, Recycled Records and donated 'em. There was some great stuff in there, I think they made a buck or five.
My brother and I did terrible things to a stack of 78s my mom had inherited from her mother. A lot of it was organ music and marches. We used to play them on our cheap portable record player, do things like lay a 7" record over the top of one so that when the needle hit the edge of the top record, it would be a locked groove loop. I remember once we left it playing, forgot, and it was still playing hours later.
@MB - I made the mistake of not eating pre-show the past two weeks and going 4 hours. Gonna run across the street and get a pizza. Back in 20-30min. Carry on my waywards platters son.
