Record Samples

This is a small selection of restored 78s chosen for the wide range of styles and artistes rather than for the technical quality of the original or condition of the record. Some of the recording dates are guesses. Technical notes refer to the record condition and restoration.

The intention is that this page will be updated occasionally with more recent examples of restored records.
