I have to agree, that Bryan Wright's record releases are really great. I also have several of his LPs, which are fun too.
Another recent 78rpm vinyl release from 2011 is by Nick Lowe with Go 'Way Hound Dog/I've changed my Wild Mind. To my knowledge, that one is still available. And a real great one was recorded last year by the vocal swing band The Stolen Sweets and cut directly on disc with no master tape in between. That record has a very authentic warm sound quality: http://bit.ly/11YrGUS http://www.amazon.com/music/dp/B0085MJLPA The cover I have features the nice slogan: "good enough for your grandmother!" I also have some of the already mentioned 78s by Kitty, Daisy & Lewis. However, their latest ones have an artificially altered narrow-bandwith sound, something I personally see as a big drawback. Their earlier discs are much clearer, yet still true to their style.
