78 labels

Ted Staunton's archive of labels from 78 rpm records. Perhaps most easily explored through the massive "Decades" pages of thumbnails.
How about a torrent for all those on MP3? Some music would be extra nice to brouse to.

There are far more than 78 labels here. I hope someone gets fired for that error.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. The text is interesting, too. And, like, beautiful.

I read that as Ted Stevens. It made a lot more sense that way.

Man, I must have missed the boat. The sole 78 RPM record in my hand-me-down collection as a kid was "Gee" by the Three Pixies, 1964. There's not even a decade category for 1964. But man, it was the coolest thing to have a special record made just for that 78 RPM setting.
Can we start a 16 RPM record site?

Takes me back to the scratchy kiddie 78's I had as a child, which I used to play on 45 or 33⅓, and burst out laughing; my parents would constantly tell me that I was breaking the records, but I knew that they just didn't have the ears for it.
