2022 At 78 RPM-Part 50

Please allow me to barge into the avalanche of Christmas vinyl for your weekly infusion of Shellac goodness. This series has been going on since the very beginning of the year, but there's still a few weeks left for me to squeeze in everything in the folder. And the past month was a good one at The Internet Archive, and I was able to add a bumper crop of 78s to the sharing folder. That means you get a huge 50 tracks in the download today instead of the usual 30. The bad news is that 18 of those are from a budget-label collection where they squeezed three songs to a side, so the fidelity leaves a little something to be desired. Many of you will recognize the tracks off of various other records, but they're still worth a listen. That still leaves 32 other tracks about which I have no reservations. There are a few repeats in there that sharp-eyed visitors might recognize. Sometimes I try to grab cleaner copies than I've shared in the past, but I think these are repeats because they came with picture sleeves this time around. I always enjoy sharing artwork with you when I can, so I hope you enjoy that as much as I do. Other than that, there's not a whole lot to talk about here, it's just another great selection of tracks from 78 RPM records courtesy of The Internet Archive. Enjoy!

    1. I think I've buried these collections a bit too much here on Saturdays. But that's OK, they'll find their audience. :) And I just realized yesterday I have to make an extra one, there are 53 Saturdays this year, not 52...

  2. Thanks for sharing these, there are a lot of treasures on 78 r.p.m. discs waiting to be discovered, and there are some real gems here. I knew Ed McCurdy in his later years, he lived in a friend's building here in Halifax, and he was well-known as a folk music legend, so having a Christmas song by him is a real treat, thanks Ernie!
