Free 2100 Rare 78 RPM MP3 Recordings

[dgridley]

I'm betting all of these are legal downloads.. they haven't even made 78 RPM recordings since the 50's as far as I'm aware. Some great humor, blues, jazz, and more.

From the site:

The following is a list of over 3600 titles recorded from my collection of 78 rpm records. Many of them are linked to MP3 files and will play what was recorded. No sound enhancement, just what was recorded. I hope to eventually have all the titles linked to music files, though that might take a while.

Right now, there are over 2,100 titles on this page linked to mp3's. Only 1,500+ to go! Let me know if there is anything in particular you'd like to hear and I'll hook it up when I get the time.

I have about 2500 more records to record, so I'll be adding more titles as time permits over the next hundred years or so.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WHAT WAS CONSIDERED HUMOR EARLY IN THE 20TH CENTURY MIGHT TODAY BE DEEMED OFFENSIVE AND POLITICALLY INCORRECT. SOME OF THESE OLD SONGS MAY REFLECT THAT.
