The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Nooo.. please don't remind me of the sixties and seventies... It's wonderful, but it also has this other pity side... In Spain in these years they were also putting in the trash bin or giving away for free lots of gramophones and 78s. Still in 1978 when I started collecting, I used to pay 78s at five cents a piece! And later, being a student with little cash to spend, I used to swap records I didn't like to much at the thrift shops for new 78s. I still maintain a list of those records that once were in my collection and I swapped for others. Still I buy them again when I find other copies. How many of us didn't ever pay twice for the same record, if only for nostalgia or repenting...?
