[78-L] 1952 lacquer record question

[Taylor Bowie]

When I was actively collecting,  I always enjoyed finding sound effects records...the stranger the better...there is a green label Gennet of a flock of sheep making the usual baa-baa sheep noises...at one point you can hear (faintly) a human voice who I think is trying to encourage the sheep to be more vocal.

 

Not exactly Bix playing Singin' the Blues,  but still entertaining!  😃

Hi Taylor, Hi Dave.

Nice to hear from you both. That means there are at least 3 of us still on 78L!

I'm going to try the flip side with an LP stylus. At the weights we're using nowadays it shouldn't be a problem.

Label sez that tracking should be no more than 2 ounces. That made sense in 1952, but not for an LP.

I think I will be able to stay under that.
