Please contact me if you have any old 78’s of the Plehal Brothers on Decca Records. I was looking for the Green Grove Polka and You’re My Darling Coo se Coo.

Comment on Al Jolson: Souvenir Album by The Last Of

I note that most of the people who post here are looking to sell their records for the money. I’m trying to clean out my house, and learning already that what something is worth is only measured by who you can find who is willing to pay for it, so your answers are perfectly valid. However, i have a different question: I look at things like this from the perspective that if you were trapped on a deserted island and needed one to get you back to civilization, could you make one to save your life? And then the question really becomes, what would a person who does see things in that kind of value think of someone who throws it away because it has no value to THEM, ignoring what value it might have to anyone else. I don’t expect anyone to pay me enough to retire on my own island for the records I’ve found - most people then have to go out and find a working turntable, and after that worry about speeds. There aren’t many things left that will spin a 78 RPM record, and I think your method of using a 45 and software to shift the recording speed is brilliant. I have a lot of stuff that is meaningless to everyone else but me - I dont have any need for boxes of these records of artists that generally don’t thrill me. I find them curious for the historic value, but I’ll never listen to them for my own enjoyment. What would you suggest I do with them? Some of the boxes got wet; in some collections maybe one or more in the stack has been chipped or cracked - can I ease my conscience and get rid of them? It’s obvious from what youv’e done here that SOMEBODY has at least one copy of the sound itself - it’s not like I’m going to risk throwing away the last exmple of Al Jolsons - or somebone else’s - work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Comment on American Songs to Sing by Regine Toma

Thank you for the songs. Tonight I thought about the song we had to learn by heart when I attended school in Germany. It was in our Englisch book and I didn’t remember it fully. I was glad to find it posted, it is like meeting an old friend after many years.

Comment on RCA Victor 10-1561: Mario Lanza, ‘Be My Love’/’I’ll Never Love You’ by Michelle Carlsen

I have a 33 1/3 record of “The Toast of New Orleans” in which Lanza sings 5 arias and duets with Elaine Malbin. I’m having trouble finding any info on music websites. MME Butterfly “Love Duet”, “Brindisi”, “O Paradiso!”, “Flower Song”, “M’appari” Do you know the value of this?

Comment on Jo Stafford Sings American Folk Songs by Edward ONeill

This is a terrific album. Stafford’s approach to jazzy standards can be a bit detached, although that works well when the mood is melancholic. But this early folk album is superb. Peggy Lee also did an album of Sea Shanties that bordered on this territory. That’s another early harbinger of the later folk movement.

I have the RCA Victor vinyl, Verdi Rigoletto:Act IV Just wondering what it is worth. I have alot of albums and records from my mother and would like to find a buyer or person who might be interested in these before they are no good to anyone.

Thanks
