Greybeard Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Some of the oldies might like to visit and listen to some of the old 78 recordings available on this site http://78records.cdbpdx.com/ They're straight conversions of 78s to mp3 and a few are a bit scratchy, but there are some real gems on that list of over 3,700 titles. Loads of Jazz, Rythm and Blues, Swing etc. etc. Look out for Louis Armstrong's 'Mac the Knife', and Little Richard's 'Lucille'. This guy still has 2500 more records to process so who knows what might turn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
