~1,150 shellac records 78 rpm vinyl 78s - $600 Date: 2007-08-24, 7:10PM CDT Hello, I have ~1,150 shellac 78 records for someone's enjoyment. You can have them for a song.....well actually for $600.00, that's ~.50 each (and its buy all or none). I have enjoyed collecting, studying, and playing these. I also have some great books on the history of some of these cats, which I may sell as well. I have played most of the records on a Rega Plannar 78 turntable, a turntable that only plays 78s. I will sell the turntable for an additional 250.00 to the person who buys the records.....which will include an extra stylus, 100.00 value. Otherwise I will sell the turntable for 300.00, but only after the records have been sold. The player currently sells for 500.00, new. Some of these 78s sound better than vinyl, especially on this turntable!! The records offer a broad spectrum of music. Artist include but not limited to: Rosetta Howard, Harlem Hamfats, Tampa Red, Georgia Tom, Light Crust Doughboys, Count Basie, Mischa Elman, Maud Powell, Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, Enrico Caruso, Jean Goldkette, Jacques Renard, Sidney Bechet and his New Orleans feetwarmers, Yehudi Menuhin, Richard Crooks, Marian Anderson, Marcel Grandjany, Arthur Pryor's band, Hans Kindler, Sousa's band, the Original Memphis five, Vernon Dalhard, Six brown brothers, Original Dixieland Jazz band, Earl Fuller's famous jazz band, Paul Whiteman, Carson Robinson, Pinetop smith, Montana taylor, Harlem blue knights, sam cooke, harlim quartette, The four wilsons, BB blues boy king, Charlie Parkers's ri bop boys, Jelly roll morton, bunk Johnson, Johnnie and Jack the Tennessee mountain boys, hank Snow, Elvis Presley, Bull Moose Jackson, WC Handy, R. Crumb and keep on truckin, Louis Armstrong, Hoosier Hot shots, Gene Autry, Gene Krupa, Billy Holliday, Big Bill and his Chicago five, Bob Willis and his texas playboys, the ravens, Hank Williams, Four Aces, the crew cuts, Cowboy Copas string band, clyde moody, grandpa jones, Little Willie John, Hankshaw Hawkins, Bill Haley with the saddlemen, Jack daniels, Eddie Condon, Hollywood flames, the penguins, the counts, Earnest Tubb, Ella Fitzgerald, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Charlie Teagarden, Art Tatum, The 5 Red Caps, Red River Dave, Leonard Feather, Roland Hayes, Josephine Baker, Johnnie Ray, Carl Smith, Bix Beiderbecke, Paul Whiteman, The five Keys, Wingy Manone, Boswell Sisters, Art Hodes Blue note jazz men, Ike Quebec, Pigmeat Alamo Markham, the prophets, ivory joe hunter, and a bunch more.

You get single sided, thick edisons, 10" & 12", foreign country labels and artists. I figure 700 these records are in excellent to mint shape. The rest are in good shape where you most likely will hear some noise. Good Does not mean poor! I am being conservative. Ten are in poor shape that I know you will hear noise. But you be the judge and come view, and play them if you want...before you buy. All records are in either in bound books or in paper sleeves. ALL of them. They have been stored on their edges, not on their sides. You really should check these guys out. Some of the interesting history on these records include: 1. Alma Gluck and her "carry me back to old virginny" was the first celebrity recording by a classical musician to sell one million copies. 2. Tempo records president discovered bother bones and his shadows and eventually he recorded "sweet Georgia brown" which became the harlem globetrotters theme song. 3. I believe Abe Lyman's California orch was one of the first west coast jazz recordings. 4. Art Hickman was the first to incorporate a jazz tone to dance orch. 5. Boyd Bennett and his rockets song "seventeen" was the first rock and roll record created for teenage girls. DJ alan freed coined the term "rock and roll" after listening to this song! 6. Carson Robinson is also known as the grandfather of hillbilly. 7. Original Dixieland jazz band "livery stable blues" was the first recorded jazz record.(almost feel like keeping this record and framing it) 8. The charioteers lead vocalist was Billy Williams. Billy latter went out by himself and became American bandstand's TV show first performer. 9. Many more for you to explore.. You really should check these guys out.
