The Easiest Way to Date the 78,
By Allen Singer (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Almost Complete 78 Rpm Record Dating Guide. (Paperback)
What an incredible book. My copy almost resembles a fanzine: it looks photocopied, and is bound with a plastic binder. Aside from that, the book is packed with very obscure labels to the well-known ones. Every effort has been made to list as many dates available per label catalogue number. If you want to date a record, you note the catalogue number, find the label in the book and find the number. The date is next to the number. Of course, the date listed is when the song was recorded on the record. It's always possible that the song may have come out several years before being recorded on the record, but I have faith in the year given. In addition to the dates, you also get a great deal of history of many of the labels. Also, there is a detailed history of the recording of 78s that starts with the cylinder record. Overall, a fabulous book. If you have a 78 collection and wonder about the dates of your favorite records, this is the best book to have. |
