[78-L] Record Collection "IN Your Garage" TV show

[Cary Ginell]

I was interviewed by a similar dim-bulb earlier this year, who also asked the probing questions:

1) What's the most valuable record you own?
2) What's your all-time favorite?

As for question #1, that's like telegraphing to the general public where you keep your 4-carat uncut blue diamond. Generally, I'll trot out my copy of "That's All Right" by Elvis on Sun, a VG copy that has a tight hair crack in it. I have many records worth more than that one, but who would care about a mint Memphis Jug Band on a late OKeh or Blind Willie McTell on Victor other than knowledgeable collectors? The Elvis did the trick. "Ooooh! Where did you get THAT???"

For question #2, I generally say "whatever I'm listening to at the time." 

Aaarrgh.

We didn't get to see any of his 78 collection except for a common black Decca label 78 album (didn't catch the artist, but none of those are rare). Don't know what was on the 16-inch transcription he was flashing, but it was probably not very valuable either.
