> Most classical 78s are not heavily played.Some Carusos,etc.,but I personally
don't care for opera,so I have no real knowledge of this.Rarity has been created
in the near-50 years since the 78 died.How often do you see blue shellac
Columbias,wartime EMI 78s by Von Karajan ( I mention this,as I recently scored
one.),or Victor batwing leather-bound  album sets ? 78s break,creating fewer
copies over time.Millions were recycled during the war effort.You may see 1000s
of Tommy Dorsey on Victor,but finding The Robins on early 50s RCA,is a bit of a
different story.I buy and sell 78s on eBay. Non-operatic classical,and 1945-60
R&B/rock are my meat.
Then I hope you're aware that up here in Canada 78's were issued a year or
two longer than in the US of A...meaning there are rock'n'roll records
issued up here that never appeared on 78 "south of the border"...!
