RECORDS: THE NEXT BIG COLLECTIBLE presented by John Tefteller

The Association for Recorded Sound Collections presents the following program from its 2014 ARSC Annual Conference at Sheraton Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina on Saturday May 17, 2014:
RECORDS: THE NEXT BIG COLLECTIBLE
presented by John Tefteller, Private Collector and Dealer
As someone who has bought, sold, and avidly collected records worldwide since 1975, I am at the forefront of what could be a growing hobby, or the last vestiges of a dying musical collecting format.
In my presentation, I will trace the history of record collecting from the 1930s to the present day, with a focus on past trends, current trends, and what the future holds. Having recently spent over $37,000 for one 78 rpm record, I offer a unique perspective on where record collecting has been and where it is headed into the future.
I will also cover record collecting from the point of view of historical preservation and what these sounds from the past could mean to future generations. I have strong feelings on reissues and how to best pass on the music we all love to a much younger audience.

As a 34 year old man I hope to continue the mission to find and rescue rare and forgotten 78’s. I’m the past two years I’ve found a lot of pre war country and late 30’s / early 40’s Blues. They’re still out there! It just requires alot of patience and alot of dusty digging.

How ironic is it that even with my quality Bose computer speakers, the videos of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections have such poor fidelity?.

Man I loved this! I could hear Mr. Tefteller talk all day. Some notable people also seem to be sitting in the crowd there, I saw Dick Spottswood and Chris Strachwitz. Would have loved to attend this would I have been old enough.
