[78-L] Buying new 78s [was Re: Fwd: Deitrich Fischer-Diskau[fwd]]

[Paul A. Riseman]

I started collecting 78s in 1951.  However, the only 78s I ever bought from 
a "store" was sometime early in the 1960s @ Maxwell Radio and Music on 
Maxwell Street in Chicago.  Immediately after entering the shop was the 
check-out register in front of a huge cabinet of 78s.  I asked the guy if I 
could go behind the counter to look.  His answer was  "NO!"  He asked me 
what I was looking for (I was embarassed to say:"Everything!" - So, I 
said:"What do you have by Louis Armstrong?"  He pulled out several Scroll 
Victor originals that were Mint store stock.  I  purchased them all for 75 
cents (List Price!).

I was born in 39, so it was still the medium, but I didn't start 
buying/collecting till about
1960.

========================
I think I bought about four new in 1956. No more after that.
