The last six months have been a fruitful time for finding 78 rpm records – and I wanted to take a moment to share some of the incoming arrivals in two categories: 1) African 78 rpm records and 2) Jazz 78s.
I also wanted to address the question of where to find African 78s by giving you some backstory on how I acquired these latest few – along with some of the jazz records you’ll be hearing in the coming weeks!
