]]> Comment on Collecting Blues: Collecting Fragile 78 R.P.M. Records in a Fragile Economy by Jason http://blogjerrysmolin.com/2009/07/16/collecting-blues-collecting-fragile-78-r-p-m-records-in-a-fragile-economy/#comment-566 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 21:30:18 +0000 http://blogjerrysmolin.com/?p=4697#comment-566 I’m 18 and have been collecting records of all kinds since I was 6. I own a 1927 Victrola 4-3 and a 1918 Edison C-150, and although it is awkward sometimes possibly being the youngest 78 rpm collector in the entire US, the payoff is wonderful-I get bargain prices for records that would otherwise have high prices (since dealers take pity on the fact that I’m a poor college student) and I get 78s that I will cherish for a lifetime.

]]> Comment on Collecting Blues: Collecting Fragile 78 R.P.M. Records in a Fragile Economy by Joe Wood http://blogjerrysmolin.com/2009/07/16/collecting-blues-collecting-fragile-78-r-p-m-records-in-a-fragile-economy/#comment-361 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:52:07 +0000 http://blogjerrysmolin.com/?p=4697#comment-361 I am 32, and have been collecting 78s for 2 years only. I have a pretty decent collection of prewar blues, some postwar, that fills about 2 milkcrates.

Some of my faves are Tommy McClennan (3 discs) Lightnin Hopkins (6 discs) Blind Willie JOhnson, Lemon Jefferson, Joe Williams (2 discs) Peetie Wheatstraw (2) and Yank Rachell (2) with Sonny Boy Williamson 1.

I also have many Carter Family on Victor, and 2 Louis Armstrong from 1927-28, which are very dear to me.

I always thought it was strange that I am so young, and yet prefer these old discs over cds, mp3s, ipods, or even albums. Something about the sound of an old somewhat scratchy hissy 78 from the 30s. I love the hunt also, going to flea markets, thrift stores, estate sales. It is something of a quest. I also have learned so much about music, history, culture, and value.

I am so lucky that I stumbled across these old shellac records one day when I was at a garage sale. That started me on a great pastime, which I can enjoy with my 3 kids.
