This is great, I have been a recording hobbiest since a kid in the 60's. I adored the RIAA and recording technology..now RIAA is evil, but I love seeing recording tech and (utube)tech hitting me in the face as I picked up a new book on tchaikovsky at my local library, first book I ever read on artists I only lightly listened to before. Tchaikovsky, the man and his music. by david brown.
One of Tchaykowski's gems that are so dear to me, vocal renditions included.
Your remark on correct speed of early 78rpms /Caruso and others/ is very important, as important is the speed itself; non-correct may affect and chage musical material. Thank you.
Oh, I never saw a blue-shellac record! (I have a red-shellac one - for Pablo Casals' Cello Solo - and yellow shellac one - from some 'Kiddie record' stuff), Thank you for Posting This. (This time, also for this stuff's visual pleasure :-) )
I have only one record of Primrose, a famous tune called "Londenerry Air", accompanied with Sidonie Goossens(Harp). Anyway, Thank you again!
How about playing some jazz records on that?

@CoolDudeClem I have 1000's of jazz 78's but don't post them because of copyright issues. If I get 3 warnings, all my postings will be deleted.

A beautiful recording! It is unfortunate that it is not played on a less distructive turnnable......that metal needle is a killer!
