The Three Bells - Les compagnons de la chanson
Posted by: laceup1967

Video duration: 236 seconds

A 78 I inherited from my great uncle. On English Columbia, record date unknown. Edith Piaf discovered this group and recorded with them in French. This is the English version of the song "Les Trois Cloches" she made with them, however this time without Piaf. What's most astonishing about this recording is that it's entirely 'a capella'.

	LIGHTNING HOPKINS - Lonesome Dog Blues Posted by: laceup1967 Video duration: 166 seconds I managed to score a couple of RPM label Lighning Hopkins. The surprising thing is that they play super clean. Mostly, these 78s came from juke boxes are are usually beaten up. But not these. Enjoy.

$Howlin\$	Howlin' Wolf Posted by: laceup1967 Video duration: 172 seconds "Moanin' For My Baby" This jukebox copy is a litle beat up but Howlin' Wolf murders that background noise.

TITTA RUFFO on Victrola LOUD!!
Posted by: laceup1967

Video duration: 183 seconds

Ruffo sings Verdi's Il Travatore
Titta Ruffo was a baritone at the time Caruso was famous. It was said that he was the "Caruso of baritones" but Caruso was more famous because, well, tenors get all the chics. This is a rare one-sided English-made HMV pink label. For a 90-year-old disc it is LOUD, especially on the vv50 Victrola.

Sippie Wallace - Shorty George Blues
Posted by: laceup1967

Video duration: 194 seconds

Another Okeh acoustic of an early 20s female blues singer. This was recorded October 26th 1923 and, as with the rest of my Okehs, still sounds amazing today. Sippie enjoyed a lifetime of successes and wrote many of her songs herself: a rarity back then. Recorded a Grammy-nominated album with Bonnie Raitt in 1983. And yes, my cat Liba makes a brief appearance.

$Big Maybelle _ Gabbin\$

Big Maybelle _ Gabbin' Blues
Posted by: laceup1967

Video duration: 165 seconds

Yes, it's a quite-common 78 that shows up on all record shows but I thought I'd give the kids a chance to hear something that's not on iTunes. This is some down and dirty, harlem, girl-dissin', yo'mamma etc. that started it all back in the 1950s. This is Big Maybelle's first and biggest hit. Sadly, she suffered from diabetes and after-effects of drug addiction and her fame did not last long.

$Mamie Smith - Let\$

Mamie Smith - Let's Agree To Disagree
Posted by: laceup1967

Video duration: 170 seconds

Smith started the blues craze in the 20's. Acoustically recorded on the Okeh label on October 10th 1921, played back electrically on November 10th 2006. In 85 years it hasn't lost an ounce of it's brilliance. Vinyl still rules! And so does shellac (whatever).
