I no longer buy 78 rpm records

Note: I no longer buy collections in Britain of 1,000+ 78's if containing enough very rare discs of interest. If you have a large collection of this size or bigger, please contact me without obligation, to discuss possibly proceeding further.

I also buy the very rare individual 78s as listed below:

Asian/ South African 78's from the 1960's of Western rock ?50+, (Beatles ?250+).


Email your list here!
NB include NO attachments.. If you have a lot, we suggest you send a sample of what you have; it's a lot easier than typing out a huge list. I have been collecting 78's since 1961.

IF YOU HAVE RECORDS TO SELL - please check here as I DO NOT (repeat NOT!) buy Gracie Fields, Bing Crosby, Charlie Kunz, Harry Lauder, Mantovani, Symphonies and sets of classical music, or indeed anything between 1939 and 1958, even Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman or Bill Haley, unless part of a large collection of goodies
