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 :)

:thumbsup:Fantastic I will really enjoy listening to all these old recordings 78s are the best.

Nice one! Had some fun going through this, listening to some of the blues ones. My favourite - "Yo'd Better Watch Yourself" - Little Walter :)

He's still having problems by the look of it, but there's an email contact on his current page.
