[78-L] what makes a record valuable? was Ameri-Briticisms

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

Very good question! And a new thread I believe.

A Berliner. Black Patti. An Amos 'n Andy transcription on Marsh or 
Brunswick. An item known to survive in only a handful of copies. Or a 
unique item. An unknown instantaneous record made live or from radio by 
an artist who made no or few recordings, or of a tune not recorded 
commercially. A test pressing not previously known to exist of an 
alternate take or tune not otherwise recorded by someone who made few 
recordings (I'm thinking of that test pressing that Kurt found of Robert 
Johnson, or some unissued takes of Horowitz of selections not otherwise 
represented in his discography). A 20" Pathe.

Something along those lines.

What would you consider valuable, Joe?
