Find Out More About Your 78 rpm Record - Jazz Chat Episode 9

[@professorskippy]

I’ve had so much trouble trying to find old jazz/dance personnel. I had no idea these discographies were on archive, I’m definitely checking them out, thanks! 🐮🙏

[@JazzCrazy]

Glad to be of help! Enjoy - there’s so much to learn from these discographies!

[@sharongoforth1]

Great information, thanks for posting! I have the Brian Rust books you mentioned, but had no idea they are available online. I’ll definitely check them out!

[@JazzCrazy]

Yes - every time I check there seem to be more of these great old books available online.

Great video! Very informative.
Maybe in the future you could make a video (or series) dedicated to the various major record companies of the 20s and 30s. Or recommend texts for further study.
I enjoy delving into the production aspects and keeping track of the personnel associated with the various record companies.

Thanks - great suggestion! I’ll add to my list of video ideas for the future.

Do you know of a reliable list for EQs by every shellac/wax/vinyl label?

[@JazzCrazy]

I don't know of a comprehensive list - I usually use this one as a starting place, then adjust as needed by ear: midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/mixlabls.htm

My father had a massive 78rpm collection - he was a Big Band DJ - how do i find a potential purchaser?

[@JazzCrazy]

When you say massive are we talking hundreds of records? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
