[78-L] Never Know What You'll Find

[Cary Ginell]

Especially surprising since that's John Tefteller's backyard, and you would think anything of value in town would be in his possession.

> Stopped in a little record store in downtown Grants Pass (Oregon) Saturday and didn't find any 78s, but he directed me to an antique store on 6th and 'G'. There I found a collection of about 1000 78s and I picked up about 150 of them, including 10 pre-1910 Columbia labels and a dozen or so 12" Blue Note and subsidiary Climax label records. Also, lots of labels I've never seen before. Picked up a couple Japanese records, too. Got Paul Whiteman playing the theme from Gone With The Wind (made in Japan) plus another in Japanese, AND a bunch of 49th STATE Hawaiian labels with original sleeves. I'll post pictures of the most interesting labels in a day or so.

> There were also 5 American Music label records with Bunk Johnson, George Lewis, and Jim Robinson. Kind of tough finding a discography for these, apparenetly they were reissued a couple times as 78s and LPs up into the 1970s. As I understand it, some were reissued as 78s in the 1960s?? The records I got are all 12" dia have a V-??? number with an additional 3 didgit number at the top of the label. I'm sure they are vinyl. These could be the late reissues??

> The Goodwill Store next to the record shop had a small pile of 78s and I found 3 ZON-O-PHONEs, including my first brown 9" example. Doesn't have a record number on it, plus another 49th State label Hawaiian disc.
