*A CD comprised entirely of rare and unusual 78s is now available here!*
I've got a present for you. It's a 45-minute playlist to introduce you to the 78s available on the site.
Music Makes Me - A 78s Playlist
There's some comedy, melodrama, protest, classical, swing, popular song, folk and, some, well, bagpipes.
Think of it as a lovingly made mixtape, one that might encourage you to find more about the site and the artists presented (click here to see the tracklist).
And if you like that sort of thing - shellac, 78s, pre-vinyl scratchy records - if broadband noise is no obstacle to your aural enjoyment, then I present you with the best 78s posts Music Makes Me has to offer...
And there's good news for those of you that like the shellac stuff: I've just ordered a new 'elliptical' stylus. I have yet to put it into any use, but I'm told it'll make all the difference.
And some other good news: a handful of Sam Mayo videos have recently appeared on the British Pathé website here.
