Hi 78 lovers.
I'm Liz and I'm BACK,
with my 1958 Decca record player and its nice glowing dusty valves.
And a big 'hello' to UMG, WMG and Sony Music Entertainment who've blacklisted 73 and wiped away 5 of my clips already - we're just boosting awareness and your sales, so a nice 'thank you' would be welcome!. :-)

I'm glad Dad kept my films on DVD-R, because here they are again....and many more!
Most of these 78's belonged to my grandparents and great-grandparents. They had a wind-up HMV player, and always took it out with them in their old Humber for picnics and holidays.
Dad looked after them for a while, but needed space for his hoard of old vinyl, so I was thrilled to be the new owner of these 'heirlooms'.
I've always loved 40's and 50's music along with the fashions and styles. Cars, clothes, furniture, the dances, you name it...what a great era. Wish I was a teen then :-(

Hope you enjoy listening to my shellac gems. The hissing, crackles and pops too!.

PS: Most of the details I write have been scoured off Wiki, the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and the latest Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide. I'm no music history expert (yet!). If any details are wrong, please let me know.

PPS: On a few really quiet and hissy records, dad's recorded them via his PC and made them a tad better. Otherwise I'd have to give 'em a miss, and we don't want that, do we!.

PPPS: If anyone objects to the tunes I've posted, please get in touch and I'll delete them within good reason.

Hello. I think I am the grandfather you folks have been speeking of. Most of these songs were popular when I was young. I liked them then and still do. I have a good selection of LP albums from the 40's. I would like to post some in the future. Roy

Liz,
We have not met; but, I was led to you this morning. Your profile blurb to UMG, VMG, and Sony "clicked" with me. I thought Sony is BMG. EXODUS 14:14 applies. It is evident that YouTube and Google are not who to "battle." Rather, the ones you name are entities that should be persuaded .. YouTube uploaders are like DJs at clubs or events. Please read copyright data on my channel. The federal judge statement should suffice because even our adversaries submit to reason and common sense ..... or, lose consumers. Jackiej61too has great book she uses for the data to give complete "credit" and references to each upload ..... so people know what and where to buy the items for themselves ; so, she creates customers for products from the recording industry. The federal judge statement should be our foundation.

You have a wonderful channel, Liz! The videos are clean and simple and beautifully produced. Each one is a treat for the eyes as well as the ears. I love the label closeups at the beginning and the slow dissolve to the record spinning on the turntable. It's hypnotic! The snap, crackle, pop and hiss sounds are as warm, friendly and inviting as a roaring fire on a frosty night. From now on 78's my speed!

78rpm shellacs, oh they bring back memories for me. My dad still has a few of them and I hope he doesn't get rid of them either. They were great, along with all the pops, crackles and hisses that came along with them, soundwise. Character is what they had, you don't get that with today's CDs, do you? Seeing that old record-player of yours takes me right back to the days of my good old Dansette, which had exactly the same turntable, pickup, autochanger and 4-speeds as yours.
