78s Collection
78s Collection
Here's a fantastic website with so many 78s to listen to.

They're all on YouTube, too, on the website creator's channel. Here's a nice one called Half-Fast Waltz by Al Trace. It's really awesome how enjoyable it is to hear these old recordings.... incredibly timeless music, fun dancing, and more!

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Re: 78s Collection
That's a nice collection, and a lot of these 78's have really nice sound quality, too, in some cases better than later stereo recordings on vinyl. There were a lot of really classic voices (like the ones above) and bands during this era, as well.
Re: 78s Collection
I am really enjoying this music. I'm finding that it makes me very happy!
This next one is by Kay Brown, who I have never heard of. It is A Kiss To Build A Dream On. I couldn't find a direct recording of this on YouTube, but here is the clip from the movie. (btw, I didn't even know this song was from a film. I have only previously heard Louis Armstrong's version.) https://youtu.be/n_eauxbriDM
and the link to the song on the site, which I find to be the better recording:

Re: 78s Collection
I was seriously jumping to this song, Alabama Jubilee by The Sundowners.

Re: 78s Collection
Those are good ones. Kay Brown has such as sweet voice, and the Alabama Jubilee really moves. 

Re: 78s Collection
I liked this song by Cal Stewart. It's called And Then I Laughed. This is a very old 78, as Stewart apparently died in 1919.

Re: 78s Collection

That reminds me of some kind of laughing song recorded by Rudy Vallee (one of my favorite of the old singers). I can't remember the title, but it came about when Vallee was supposed to be recording a song straight, but couldn't keep his composure, and it was so entertaining they released it as it was.

I like this one a lot. A Little Bit Independent performed by Jimmy Carr (1935)

Re: 78s Collection
Wow, that's catchy, isn't it? I have a bad feeling I'm going to have that going in my head all night.
That's really good sound quality, too, for a recording of that vintage.
