I never saw a player that had that much variation in it: 75-82 was more
like it,
and the adjustment lever linked to a centrifugal speed governor. Built prewar.
We did have a few records that said "speed = 80" on the label but most were
simply 78.

Recordfinders sell specialist decks for playing 78's, and they quote the
following speeds:
>71.29 for Berliners, early Victors (no label), Zonophones.
>76.59 for acoustic Victors (many)
>78.26 for modern 78's
>80.00 for Edison, vertical Pathe (paper label), acoustic,Columbia/Okeh
for more info see
http://www.recordfinders.com/audioeq.html
Their specialist decks cost $380 upwards, but they do a great budget
machine called a Califone at $65 which would look great at a beach party.
Says they were used in schools at one time.

Most digital recording software will adjust pitch and tempo..

If you do this with your normal microgroove stylus, you will harm both the
stylus and the 78 records. There are cartridges that can take special 78
styli as well as microgroove (33 & 45) styli.

Subject: (exotica) vinyl vs.nothing

In my lifetime - if I stop this slow suicide anyway - there will come a
time when music is no longer delivered on any kind of hardware whatsoever.
It won't be some newfangled disc or cylinder.  You'll walk in your
livingroom, clap twice and say "Walk Away Renee" and in a few moments it
will start to play.  Maybe that's 20 years away.  In 15 years, you'll still
have to connect via computer/TV and actually point to the song you want.
And I guess you'll have to choose the version you want to hear.
And probably when this starts up - like when CD's started up - at first
your choices will be limited.  But eventually they'll hire some of the
folks on this list and  then you'll be able to hear whatever you want.
Maybe you'll have the option of downloading it onto a recordable piece of
hardware - so you can play it yourself  - but I suspect that eventually
that option will also be ancient history.
And when that time comes there will be people LIKE ME who will be even more
driven to find old 8-track players and tapes, 78's, cylinders, even CD's...
anything they can find so that they can have a "personal relationship" with
the thing that the music is on.
That's my only real argument with vinyl vs. CD's.
As the convenience increases, the personal relationship decreases.  If you
had 45's or 78's for that matter, you knew every snap, crackle and pop on
that thing.  Now with a CD, many people have never even played the thing
all the way through and if you ask them "what's this song like?", they
usually need to look at the numbers.
Convenience, it's all the rage I hear.
And when the day comes that you have a chip in your head and all you have
to do is think of a song, I'm sure the convenience-freaks will be thrilled.
 And I'll be at the junk store looking for all their old CD's.

Nat

In fact this essentially happened a year or so ago when the publisher of
the song warned the Boy Scouts of America - who are officially homophobic
so who cares about them - that they wouldn't be allowed to sing "happy
birthday" at their summer camps unless they paid royalties.

as far as the rest of this thread goes, I guess I've come to realize that
the recording industry is a force for GOOD, that they are not greedy and
that they do have my best interests at heart.
Which is why they gave me the CD.  For MY convenience.
The fact that they would prefer to sell 25 million copies of ONE record
rather than 25,000 copies of 100 different records, well it's better if we
all have the same record, isn't it?
That way we all have something in common and we can talk to each other.
And that's why I don't resent the fact that they make me pay for their huge
promotion budget in spite of the fact that I practically never buy a record
that they spent any money to promote.
The records I buy usually don't have videos, let alone half-million dollar
videos.
But that's okay because I understand that they only want what's best for
me, a member of the record buying public.

RIAA curves aside, i do this kind of conversion all the time, mostly
with old Wilcox-Gay Recordios (in other words, the ultimate *quality* of
the sound is usually not that big of an issue, so the RIAA curves are
pretty irrelevant for my purposes). for those interested, for 45rpm to
78rpm, i adjust the pitch in Sound Forge with settings of +10 semitones
and -46.4 cents. these settings, of course, will apply to any sound
editing app.

The two major problems are that 78s use a different type of needle and that
there's some kind of equalization difference (or something, I'm sure a
techie can provide the details).  Even if you get it to work, it would
undoubtedly sound lousy.  You'd be better off having the friend tape the
78s and use that as a source.  It adds another generation but would be more
simple and workable.  LT

    it's a "best of" bossa nova comp (my rate: 4 on 5); if you don't
have anything yet in that genre, it's a good start, as is "jazz 'round
midnight - bossa nova" also on verve (my rate: 5 on 5); this one doesn't
give you the most obvious selections, and it mentions the original albums
tracks were taken from AND if they are available on cd.

both of the Ultra Chick collections (which I have and enjoy - they span from
classic Ye Ye sounds to girl-groupish orchestrated pop to fuzz guitar w/ girl
vocals) can be gotten through Medium Rare Records on Market Street in San
Francisco.  For those of you outside The City, they have a mail order service.
Just call information for their number.

Jill - I've got a fair amount of this kind of girly pop, including lots of
France Gall, Some Francoise Hardy and a (crushingly expensive) Sheila
collection.  Let me know if you want hear a tape of any of that.

Subject: (exotica) recent scores

Recent scores:

THE BEST OF SANTO AND JOHNNY  Santo and Johnny [CD]
Famous for "Sleep Walk", a big instrumental hit in 1959.  24 tracks (including
Caravan), all quite good.  I particularly enjoyed the second half which covers
a number of early sixties top 40 hits such as "Crying In The Chapel", "Venus",
"School Days" and "Dream Lover".

AFRICANA AND BEYOND!  Chaino [CD]
With 27 tracks taken from a handful of hard-to-find, late 1950's Chaino (CHA-
EE-NO) LP's, close to seventy minutes long and value priced, this is an easy 5
stars.  I would have paid double for this.  Heavy breathing, jungle chants,
bird calls, bongos, percussion, HARD CORE exotica!  A wonderful surprise are
tracks 16-20 that take on a definite rock 'n rock sound and do quite well.

BUBBLES  Free Design [2 ten inchers]
This is the first time I have had a chance to give the Free Design's late
1960's soft pop a try.  Their LP's (Project 3?) are hard to come by and CD's
do exist as very high priced imports. A domestic release is coming in July and
BUBBLES is the Siesta release.  As I heard more about Free Design I dialed
into them as something I really looked forward to getting.  Now that i have
it, well, maybe a Free Design expert can tell me what it is I should be
getting excited about.  I'm not exactly sure I expected out of Free Design,
but what I'm getting after one listen is straight foward soft pop that leaves
me wondering what all the hoopla is about.

BIRD WATCHING  The Nutty Squirrels (Sascha Burland and Don Elliott) [LP]
I found this in the Children's section. Understandable considering the goofy
cover with two toy squirrels looking through a telescope, studying birds.  In
fact, this is an excellent, swinging jazz LP with a sense of humor.  The
squirrels sound similar to the Chipmunks doing scat vocals.

SEDUCTION!  Gregg Oliver [LP]
Written by Billy Rogers, music by Del Staton with Lois Cooper.  On the Art
Sound label, the only way i can describe this one-of-a-kind recording is
beatnik erotica.  The oldest game in the world - the eternal chase -
beautifully set against a background of music that weaves in and around over
and under the spoken word.  Roxanne!

I have both volumes sitting in front of me - 2 is slightly more pop-like
than 1, but both are superb, and definitely worth picking up if you can
find them.  In Canada, they are distributed by Distribution Fusion.  And
there is no information on mine whatsoever, so they are likely boots.

The track listings for Volume 1 - Ultra Chicks: Filles In The Garage are
as follows:

CLAIRE DIXON: On m'appelle petit bout de chou
LIZ BRADY:  Bas les pattes
CHRISTONE PILZER:  Ah-Hem-Ho-Uh-Err
DANI:  Fille a la moto
ARIANE:  Ice Cream
CLEO:  Les fauves
ALINE:  L'education
ARIELLE:  Goody Goody
LAURA ULMER:  Amoureux d'une affiche
CHRISTINE LAUME:  Rouge rouge
CHARLOTTE LESLIE:  Les filles c'est fait...
OP4:  Attention aux garcons
STELLA:  Nouvelle vague blues
MARISA:  Christine
ALICE DONA:  C'est pas prudent
NICOLE PAQUIN:  Allons dans les bois
CHANTAL GOYA:  Il court les filles
MONIQUE THUBERT:  Booff
ARLETTE ZOLA:  Mathematique elementaire
SOPHIE MANSART:  Au secours Aidez-moi
ANDREA PARISY: Laisse tomber les tabous
CHORUS REVERENDUS:  Dans son euphorie
DLAIRE DIXON:  Je n'ai besoin que de tendresse
NICOLE PAQUIN:  Mon mari c'est Frankenstein

If I am not mistaken, I think  "Fille a la moto" &  "Mon mari c'est
Frankenstein" are Gainsbourg songs.  I found volume 2 at Arons Record store
in Los Angeles.  I have a feeling it may be hard to find this disk as well
as vol 2.  Hopefully there might be some Ya-Ya collections from France...
are there?

Yeah, I found that out after consulting a friend.  Sheesh, nothin is ever
simple.

I've been keeping my eye out for a  78 player at garage sales,
but so far nothing. I did however score a 70's vintage Pioneer
turntable in PERFECT condition. Beautiful wood cabinet, no
automatic features except for end-of-record return (yay)
$5.00  It made a friend very happy.

I was just wondering if there were any Nine Inch Nails fans out there,
and if any of you Vynal Fans know of any places that sell NIN Vynals.
I don't know why it went from Vynal to Tape.  I haddn't heard anything
on Vynal untill about 7 months ago, which is sad.  I finally did, and
was wondering where the hell Vynals went.  Much easier to clean than
CDs, and superior sound quality as compared to Tapes.  Strange.
