78's seem to turn up at our local SA thrift shop about once a year or so; if
I'm not
lucky enough to see/buy them the day (or so) after they are dumped in with
the
gazillion or so LP's, all I usually find are pieces! Found two
to-day...oddly enough
both of jazz interest. Only the two...no fragments to suggest there had been
others...?!
First was a UK Parlophone...from the "Second New Rhythm Series" (#9/#10).
Two sides from Louis Armstrong & his Orchestra; first was a master pressing
but the second didn't look to be such... m#405063=3/405167=B.
Second is Prestige 835; two sides by Reinhold Svensson and Quintet
("Nevertheless"/
"I Guess I'll Have To Dream the Rest").
One wonders...were these two favourite discs set aside by some
recently-deceased
jazz lover...or two discs from a much larger jazz collection? If the latter,
then what
happened/will happen to the remainder? Already landfill bound (then how did
these
two get missed?!)...or set aside for eventual profitable sale? I know there
is a story
involved...just no idea what it IS...?!
