I had a post about the 78rpm Record Cataloger software and it was up for ages on this forum and suddenly it's been deleted? Seems odd....

Just had to share this with the forum. The following two audio samples clearly demonstrate just how good acoustic recording could be... Crépuscule by Jules Massenet Performed by Amelita Galli-Curci (Sop), Homer Samuels (Celesta) Victor 64807, Recorded 10 October, 1918 http://www.78rpmcommunity.com/b...

Sam Lanin's Dance Ensemble -Hello Beautiful - HMV 78rpm
Nicely performed and very nicely restored.
