I don't doubt I could find many of my oldies available
online, but this is a fun project. And I can omit pieces I
don't want, and combine several artists on one disk. Not
for everyone, but I am enjoying the process. ;-)

Music from the 40s on vinyl?
The vinylk in my collection dates from the sixties,before then it wa
something else, forget now.
Wish i could get a means of transferring the music though.
But, you do realise that CDs will be superseded?
:-(
Occasionally I get out the wind-up gramophone and listen to my old jazz
records. They're so worn now that no recovery system would be able to
transcribe the sounds successfully.
Ah well, they'll be dumped when we go!

Ummm, yes... We have a couple dozen Benny Goodman-Artie
Shaw-Glenn Miller-etc. artists on vinyl. They are probably
remastered copies of the original sessions.

Sure, but so what? I'm 69 years-old now, and I reckon the
CD/MP3 players I own will last at least another 20 years.
By the time CD technology completely ends I'll be deaf...
or dead. :-|

In my youth (the forties) 78rpm records were the only ones available and
they were made from shellac.
Vinyl wasn't used until 45rpm and 33 1/3 rpm discs went into production.

I'm a bit deaf already but far from dead, I expect to see my century.
Another thirty years :-)

"78 rpm materials
Early disc records were made of various materials including
hard rubber. From 1897 onwards, earlier materials were
largely replaced by a rather brittle formula of 25% shellac,
a filler of a cotton compound similar to manila paper,
powdered slate, and a small amount of a wax lubricant. The
mass production of shellac records began in 1898 in Hanover,
Germany, and continued until the end of the 78-rpm format in
the late 1950s. "Unbreakable" records, usually of celluloid
on a pasteboard base, were made from 1904 onwards, but they
suffered from an exceptionally high level of surface noise.
"Unbreakable" records could be bent, broken, or otherwise
damaged; but not nearly as easily as shellac records. Decca
introduced vinyl "Deccalite" 78s after the Second World War,
but other labels would restrict vinyl production to the
newer 33 and 45 formats."
I never would have known all that. Gotta love Google. ;-)
My family had as its main home entertainment a phonograph
player-radio combination in a large wood case, and had
dozens of 78RPM records. My folks didn't have TV until
after I left home in '58.

I'm not getting deaf, everyone else has started mumbling!
