Weird to see so much music on 78s become newly available all at once. It appears that Boing Boing’s staff has been on a tear finding these sites. Witness :
- 78s2CDs.com, which appears to specialize in Gilbert and Sullivan and Alma Gluck (via Boing Boing)
- Vintage78.com, a site that will make custom tapes of the 78s of your choice (and also sells pre-sequenced CD samplers) (via Boing Boing)
- The 78 section of Open Source Music collection at Archive.org, which includes lots of old Appalachian, blues, and gospel 78 records that have been digitized
- And for bonus points an interview with Terry Zwigoff about “old time music” and collecting 78s. The site that hosts the interview, Old Hat Records, sells CD reissues, including the interesting sounding “Music from the Lost Provinces: Old Time String Bands from Ashe County, North Carolina and Vicinity” (also via Boing Boing)
