[78-L] Records about records - was: RE: Playing a broken 78

[Des Gaull]

I also have a copy of the Broken record by Mae Questal from the early 
30's better known as Betty Boop I use to use that as my theme song on my 
community radio program  78 show on 6NR  back in the 1990's

>> In the early days of recording playing a gramophone/ phonograph record was a topic in many songs. Robert Johnson's "Phonograph Blues", where the "rusty needle" was used as a metaphor come to mind.
>> But there were also songs imitating the playing of a record.
>> Here are a few from the 78 rpm era:
>>
>> Die zerbrochene Schallplatte - Max Hansen (1930)

>>
>> The Big Juleblues - Povel Ramel & Alice Babs (1952)
>>
>> And a few from later years:
>>
>> Je suis le disque - Sophie Darel (1961)
>>
>> Gramophone Man - Spirit (1968)
>>
>> The Gramophone  - Sam Jackson (2012)
