Charming and appealing antiquated sound right down to the scratchy background, despite all the broken records it still a smashing find. Perhaps you could play the others but get a digital recording that you can play more often.
It really is a nice sound, scratches and all; it's really quite surprising just how pleasant it is. What really strikes me is that we're listening to the last vestiges of the echoes from these ghosts playing a hundred years ago.
Recording them digitally is a pretty neat idea. I'll need to see if I can find something that has a little more depth to it than my phone; I'm sure I've got a microphone around here somewhere.
A few years back (at least 10) I spent the better part of a couple weeks digitising and uploading all my CD music into ... the cloud (insert dramatic music). I haven't bought a CD since. I've always had a difficult time keeping up with new/modern music - with only a few exceptions I find I don't like "new" music until it's at least five years old.
I guess I'm really going for broke with these records being at least 80 years old. I want to rent out a hall and have a 40's styles dance with these records as the music.
We had a 78 rpm Victrola when I was just a kid. My folks bough a HiFi (mono) vinyl set up and I got the furniture that the Victrola was in. It was my liquor cabinet for probably 15 years :)
My brother and I shot most of the '78s. They break like a clay pigeon when you hit them with a 20ga shotgun shot :)
The guy in Oregon cleans up the recordings (some are still pretty scratchy) but they are wonderful. The blues have changed, of course, but this is what the players in the 60s listened to.
What a find!! I cannot believe that you got the Vogue ones, all of those! Can I just say Wow? I know some people don't like the sound, but, the scratchy sound and the recording is just like I see in the movies.
It is perfect.
This was truly an exciting box opening! I wish you lots of luck in finding more! Enjoy!! I think even the cat likes it!
For the one who was packing this box of vinyl, I would have pulled out his hands and inserted it where the legs grow from ...
You can't do that.
As a child I was curious and ... I took apart the old gramophone to the last screw ...
Now I really regret it, but nothing can be fixed. In the attic there is only a body ... :)
I congratulate you on your good purchase. What else can I add :-)
Very aptly put. I'm still shocked that he thought packing them like that would be a good idea. At least he's refunding the share of the records that were damaged.
You know, I've taken things apart as well, but so far an entire gramophone has not been one of those things. I might need to do some repairs soon; if I do, I'll take some pictures and post them for you in memory of your past fun. :)
Children do not understand the value of many things. For me, the gramophone was just an interesting device and I wanted to know what it consists of ... :)
This is very cool, I will wait for your photos, I wonder what it will be :)

I buy a CD and calendar per year from a guy in South Oregon. Blues tunes from before WWII. It's nothing short of great.

That hurts me to read now, but up until several weeks ago I wouldn't have cared at all. Probably pretty fun to do. :)
It was great fun. My grandparents gave us their 78s, too. We got pretty good at throwing them and shooting them!
Thank you @ewkaw and @qurator!
My pleasure :)

This was the first time I have even seen those type of records from Vogue. I'm thrilled! They will be going on my wall, for sure.
And yes, the cat is impressed. 😃

wow such a beautiful collection. so sorry for the damage, but seems like you manage to over through this with some creative ideas :-)
Yep, I'll figure out something. I might even see if I can figure out how to use them as a frame for some negative film!
