Welcome to the Shellac Shanty.
You'll notice that graphics are almost non-existant here... the reason?
I wanted to make as much room as I could for the tunes in the Jukebox .
I happen to like older jazz, and I have a
pretty substantial collection of 78 rpm records,
So I decided that I would share a few with you.
Pull up a comfy chair, sip your favorite cool beverage, and enjoy
well over 90 minutes total of old jazz.
What else do I like? I like trains. I like photography. I like
crank-up phonographs. I like Nawlins.
I also write poetry, but that's another day and lifetime.
If there's any interest, and I have any disk space left over,
I'll put some up.
NEW and SPECIAL FEATURES!!
Go check out the Japanese Hawaiian Records or
Laughing and Crying Records pages!!
Hello there...Instead of new files, we have some older transfers to share.
Caveats: these files were done a LONG time ago, and may not be up to the level of quality of those in the Jukebox. Also, there is little or no information about these files, so any input would be GREATLY appreciated.
- Sinbad - Waldorf-Astoria Orch. / Victor 1????
- Just As Long You Have Me - Paul Whiteman / Victor 1????
- I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles - Paul Whiteman / Victor 1????
- Annie Dear - Waring's Pennsylvanians / Victor 1????
- Then You Know That You're In Love - Don Gregory's Orch (label unknown)
- On The Mississippi - Prince's Band / Columbia A-1307
- Too Much Mustard - Prince's Band / Columbia A-1307
- Lead Kindly Light - Trinity Choir / Victor 42??
The info may be buried in the files if you have an older version of the RealAudio player - the G2 player won't show copyright info (which is where the label and catalog numbers are).
This is the way to the Jukebox, all files are in streaming RealAudio. Enjoy!
If you have any comments, please feel free
to drop me an eMail.

| Red Hot Bands, 1895 - 1929 | This is an EXCELLENT site for research and a LOT of streaming audio 78s. |
| Glen's Vintage Jazz and Hot-Dance Pages | Another shellac site with excellent jazz and hot dance 78s, all in MP3 format. |
| Jim & Marianne's Jukebox | "Popular" acoustical recordings (made prior to the current date minus 77 years, i.e. January 1922 as of today) and Edison Diamond Disc recordings. |
| Martin's 78 Turntable | This site has RealAudio streams of hot tunes from the Jazz Age as well as (mostly harmless) fun tunes from the past. |
