Had a look in my shed and while I was in there I came across a huge pile of gramophone 78rpm records and thought to myself 'what should I do with them?'. Then, this idea came up 'I'm going to record them all and post them up on a decentralised network, where they will be preserved forever for other generations to discover and enjoy!'.
These are not sorted in any way so, they will be done in the order they come in, I hope you enjoy this historical musical journey as much as I am sure I will.
Any comments or knowledge of any of the artists/songs etc. are most welcome.
