The virtual gramophone website could have been a great site for classical 78's
Unfortunatly, the "search" function is a disaster..... Very well fitted for popular music,
but not for classical music. The biggest mistake is not to show the side-joins automaticly.
It costed me half an hour to paste the next links together. The comming weeks I will linkfarm them
on this site.
