Would like to hear from anyone who has access to an acetate with the voice of Cowboy Loye Pack. He performed at WWVA in Wheeling, WV, and also at nearby WMMN. Also known to have worked in St. Joe, MO, and York, NE. Thank You.

A 10" 78 rpm acetate disc was found yesterday in a San Diego thrift store by jazz/blues artist Angelo Alexander---an avid collector of 78rpm records, on a radio production of the "Garnish Your Face..." piece, with a cast apparently stars Benjamin Olds [sic], Frank DJ O'Sullivan [sic], featuring S.J. Perlman [sic], with special material written by
Irene Sullivan; the main character is John J. Antennae [sic].

This 2-sided disc would not have been suitable for broadcast airplay, however, due to the lead cast member playing Mr Antennae breaking up the cast with laughter and uttering explicative language on the ending of side 2.

Any info that can provide on this acetate is more than appreciative.

Best Regards,

(revising my post a little)
Jo4dr, what you have was recorded for the Beatles Fan Club, released in 1963 in England, and an edited version was released in the US in 1964. If the total recording time is 5 minutes, it is the British version; if it is 4 minutes, it is the edited American version.

The Beatles released a Christmas record every year from 1963 to 1969, that were sent to fans who were members of the official fan club. The recordings were compiled into an album called the Beatles Christmas Album. You can find out more information on Wikipedia. Interesting to note that, as wikipedia explains, "US fan club sent the message in a tri-fold cardboard mailer, with the "record" embedded in one of the flaps of cardboard." You can also find a transcript of the entire record at the Wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles%27_Christmas_Album

I have an Audiodisc (New York) recording of the Beatles. John sings himself a wierd little happy birthday and prattles to his fans. Paul is more conversational and talks about Jelly Babys and asks his fans to please stop sending them. Side two opens with Paul, I think, singing a verse of Good King Wensislas in German (I think). Ringo and George clown around and it ends with a twisted Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. There is a bleed out with a studio song... I don't know the title. It's a 78 of course... I could use some history.

I have 2 records from 1940 that are audio-scriptions radio recordings from the radio station w.o.r they are labed adolph hitler (answering chamberlain anybody interested you can contect me at frankys1st@aol.com

Hi Robert, I have an interest, for weird research and history purposes... I'll contact you at your blogspot.

I just got this 78 in with a bunch of other records someone gave me. It has a burning cross and one side is labeled "Why I am a member of the KKK" or something like that. It kinda creeps me out. I'm not sure whether to toss it or give it to someone for research or history. Any ideas since this is a place for Weird records?

My father-in-law recently passed away. I have found a box full of home-recordings and wonder if they are worth anything. There are quite a few from speeches of Roosevelt and Truman as well as radio news shows from WWII era. There are also lots of musical recordings both of professional recording artists, as well as people singing at home. Many are unmarked and some are damaged. I have no record player, so I don't know whether they'll even play or not.

Hi again I sent some more pics for you hope they help.

Frank,
Well they are most certainly worth hanging on to!
It would have been recorded at the radio station (WOR in New York) for replay later on the station. Anything WWII related like this, especially since this was professionally recorded at the radio station, is of special interest to collectors. Are you looking to sell?

Question please help-I have 2 recorded records from 1940. Records are audio-scriptions inc. radio recording studios on the paper label its typed adolph hitler "answering chamblain" station W.O.R 02/24/1940 can anybody tell me anything about these records or if they are worth holding on to.


                   thanks frank

Clayton B. I have two questions you may be able to help with: One; Can anyone tell me more about a Jazz?fusion artist named Wyndall K. Frog? Two: Fats Waller and a record somewhere in the middle of the size of a 45rpm and a 33rpm? Any help would be welcome.

I have a collection of 78 records of The Philadelphia Story with James Stewart and other famous actors and actresses recorded in 1942. It belonged to a member of his fan club. It is recorded by Zephyr. Also I have a recording on 4/4/1942 by James Stewart by audiodisc titled This Is War. I am curious as to the value. barjon@execpc.com

I am interested in finding a photograph, drawing or diagram of an acetate 78 rpm record recorder that would have been used for making home recordings in and around 1951. Also a description in some sort of detail of the procedure used to produce 78 rpm recordings. My father, now deceased, made his own recordings at this time, and I have a healthy collection of these, very "listenable" and in good condition. I also have a good collection of purchased 78's in excellent condition, purchased in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Detailed information about the origins of the home made recordings is readily available. All I need to make the information complete (for a posting on my web site about my father) would be an explanation of how these kinds of recordings would have been made, and hopefully a photograph of the apparatus used. Thanks for anything you might know to shed some light on this for me!
