I think to someone like this researcher, who seems not to be aware that these records sold in the thousands, they must seem like rare gems. And that line about perhaps they were playing the phonograph as the ship went down, I think that's the last thing I'd be doing at a moment like that! John Robles

Seems silly to try to "recapture" the old sounds, since the records were mass produced. Surely if the titles can be identified, similar records could be found. Or, am I not understanding something?
