2022 At 78 RPM-Part 51

My goodness, this is a lot of music. I'm trying to clear out the download folder for the end of the year coming up in a couple of weeks, and there's a lot of music to get through. As usual, it's all courtesy of the good folks at The Internet Archive. They offer these and many more old scratchy 78s as part of their Great 78 project, an attempt to save the music on these fragile old discs before they all disappear. Well, I don't think they're ever going to disappear completely, but they do have a point. Most of these records have disappeared from the wild and are tightly help by collectors, and that kinda limits the access to these great old tunes. Not all collectors are sharers like I try to be. Many of them are hoarders, and what they have is theirs and they don't want you to hear it. The Archive has been able to acquire hundreds of thousands of these old 78s, and they don't just put them up on a shelf, they record them and make them available on their website. It's a great place to go do research on an artist, look for some old song or check out the discography of some obscure label. You can easily loose a few hours just searching through their vast collections. Each month for the past year, I've downloaded all their new stuff that fits into the Christmas genre, then cleaned it up a little and shared it here with you. I've found some amazing stuff, and I think you'll find plenty to enjoy in this, and the 50 other collections that preceded it. Have a go and enjoy!!
