Hey Bob, no worries brother. I knew it wasn't gonna be cheap when I bid on it. It certainly wasn't as much as the Paramounts he was selling around the same time!! Again, very nice collection you have. The oxblood Paramount is awesome, and I've never seen a Brunswick like that. Very cool. Wish I could find more of those myself!! Here's the flip of the Puritan.

Re: Multi-Colored, Splattered-Shellac 78rpm Records
I was led here by the discussion in the Music Trader- I go through phases on splatter records. I collect awhile and then decide I don't "need" them and sell them off, and then flip- flop again, as Bob and Curt know.
I have quite a pile of Morrisons, pressed in Seattle of vinyl immediately postwar. I have been toying with the idea of putting them up on my record room/ office walls but then I keep flip flopping on whether to do that or sell these, too.

George,
At least you have a wide variety of titles on your Morrisons. I have similar number of them, but most are "Valse Lente", for whatever reason...
I also have "Night at the Biltmore", like the one on your wall, my favorite Victor picture disc...

Re: Multi-Colored, Splattered-Shellac 78rpm Records
None of the Morrisons are all that thrilling musically. They are strictly visual appeal. A lot of these are autographed by Bonnie "Guitar" Tutmarc, for what that is or is not worth.Curt A wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:42 pm George,

I have been looking for a second copy of "Biltmore" so I can display the other side. A poster showed us one of these picture discs here awhile ago that was not only a picture disc- but the "Program Transcription" version of it! I love newly discovered wabbit holes.

Too bad I didn't know you were looking for one... I had a duplicate that I sold awhile back.

Visually cool records (and labels) are always on my "buy" list when I am searching through old bins of records. The sad part is a lot of the time these records seem to be cracked or outright broken.

I never buy a splatter record or picture disc because of the music, only the visual aspect...

Re: Multi-Colored, Splattered-Shellac 78rpm Records
Same here. The exception is splatter Pathés- very often these are good hot jazz that get played regularly.
