One of the first pianists to leave recordings, he had a long career on the concert stage and in the studio and left us a g reat legacy.. He recorded virtually the complete works of legacy Beethoven and a large quantity of Mozart and Brahms, and he was also the first to record the Chopin etudes, in 1928; this is still widely regarded regarded as one of the best recordings of the work. Backhaus plays them smoothly and softly, softly, overcoming their technical challenges without apparent effort. His chamber music recordings include Brahms's cello sonatas, with Pierre Fournier, and Franz Schubert's Trout Quintet Hobday.with the International Quartet and Claude Backhaus was quick to recognize recognize the importance of the gramophone. His July July 15, 1909 abridged recording of the Grieg Piano Concerto, lasting about six minutes, was not only the first recording of that work, but the first time any concerto had ever been recorded.

The Rena name lived on in the name ColumbiaRena, used on Columbia 10 inch double sided records until October 1915. The Rena numbering system remained in use for 10 inch Columbia records until April 1930, reaching 5740.

BRITISH LABELS: RENA Written and Prepared by Wes Williams The following article is from an on-going series featured on the 78rpm Collectors’ Community website. The articles  focus on British labels. This article outlines out lines the RENA label which began on 1908 using material from the Columbia catalog.  In our next newsletter, ne wsletter, we’ll feature an article on the  Edison Bell Winner label.

It may seem strange to document a relatively unknown label that was only in business for about a year, year, but the Rena label was one of the main foundations for the development development of the Columbia Company in Britain, its later British ownership, and a large part of the EMI empire. The Rena Manufacturing Company was founded in 1908 by Louis Sterling (1879-1958) (1879-195 8) and Norbert Rodkinson (1873-1927), both American born, but major figures in European record manufacturing business.

The second Rena label design was dark blue with gold and white lettering with a trade mark emblem of a double flute player (perhaps the mythological character Marsyas?). The label shown below was issued just after Columbia took over Rena, and shows no Columbia markings or stick-over labels.

Rodkinson had been with  Deutsche Grammophon in Berlin since 1904, and Sterling had been General Manager of Zonophone in 1904 and 1905, but had left to form the Russell Hunting Company with two other partners. This company had produced Sterling cylinders. However, the company had failed, probably a reflection of decrease in cylinder popularity, popularity, and was sold to Edison Bell. Many Sterling cylinders later appeared as Pathe discs. The material released by Rena was from the Columbia catalogue, and their double-sided records were pressed by Columbia. However, they were sold at 6d (£0.025) less than the Columbia records. The first Rena records were released in December 1908,and the first label design was a claret label with ornate gold inscriptions.

Louis Sterling became the head of Columbia, then Managing Director of EMI, founding the famous Abbey Road Studios, and was knighted for his services.

Dating   Note: A few numbers out of sequence are not shown. 998 998 - Special Rena issue to dealers, Dec 1909 999; 1000 1000 - Special Rena issue on death of Edward VII, June 1910 1001 - 1050 1050 - Dec 1908 'Rena' 1051 - 1242 1242 - Jan to Nov 1909 'Rena'

Rena became part of Columbia in late 1909, and Columbia abandoned their existing D series of double-sided records. Columbia continued to issue Rena labelled discs (but with the Columbia name in the lower arc of the label) from December 1909 (or perhaps slightly later considering the label above) to September 1910 (Nos. 1218 to 1408).

1218 - 1242 1242 - Dec 1909 Columbia owned 'Rena' 1243 1408 - Jan to Sept 1910 Columbia owned 'Rena'- 1408 1409 - 1518 Oct 1518 Oct to Dec 1910 'Columbia-Rena' 1519 - 1782 1782 - 1911 'Columbia-Rena' 1783 - 2030 2030 - 1912 'Columbia-Rena' 2031 - 2276 2276 - 1913 'Columbia-Rena' 2277 - 2483 2483 - 1914 'Columbia-Rena' 2484 - 2584 2584 - Up to Oct 1915 'Columbia-R 'Columbia-Rena' ena'

Some Rena issues even bore a stick-on label showing Columbia patent numbers

78RPM PUZZLE RECORD SCANS 78rpm puzzle records were common from the early years of 78rpm production. Often called parallel groove or concentric groove 78rpms, it was possible to master recordings with two or more separate, interlaced spiral  grooves on a side. Such records were occasionally made as novelties. Victor made one as early as 1901. Depending on where the needle is dropped in the lead-in area, it will catch more or less randomly in one of the grooves. Each groove can contain a different recording, so the record "magically"  plays one of several different recordings. Victor marketed a couple of 10-inch 78s with two concentric grooves (called  Puzzle Records).

HOW TO PACK 78RPM RECORDS SAFELY  An article written by a guest writer for 78rpm Community...

Don't restrict your market by making 78rpm records a collection only lot when  with a little care you you could pack and post them safely! As a collector who buys and sells 78s on eBay I have plenty of experience of packing these brittle items. I offer these notes to help anyone who has to do so- especially of course anyone from from  whom I have just bought some some 78s Packing Notes for people selling and mailing 78rpm records

General concept  A 78rpm record is relatively heavy, generally a 10" one is around 220 grams (weight varies) and is brittle. They crack easily in transport unless well protected. The two key aspects of safe packing are to protect the record within a rigid inner pack and to embed that rigid inner pack in soft padding within a larger outer pack. The record itself must not be able to slide about and the inner pack should nest ne st securely within its padded box. If you achieve this, this, all will be well in 99% of cases. cases. Making the inner rigid pack It is best to have each 78rpm within a paper sleeve, not a loose fitting card one. The record or records must then be sandwiched between squares of cardboard or similar rigid material. Unless you have very thick cardboard, it is usually best to have at least two card squares on each side of the record, especially especially if you are sending just one 78. Multiple 78s packed together give each other extra rigidity but still need some cardboard on each side for protection. The card squares should be cut to just exceed the diameter of the records, usually around around 10.5 inches square. No part of any record should protrude. Then tape the "sandwich" tightly at all four sides, protecting the records from contact with the sticky tape by using slips of paper or kitchen roll. Check that the records are snugly packed and cannot slide about at all. Protecting the inner pack It is usually best to wrap it all around with a layer of bubble wrap. wrap. The outer box This needs to be large enough to allow a little space on all sides of the inner pack.  You can use a recycled box provided it is large and strong enough, my wife is forever buying electronic and

kitchen gadgets and I recyle the boxes these come in.  But note that pizza boxes  are just too thin. Packing the inner pack in the outer box Use some form of padding, poly beads or bubble bubble wrap will be lightest weight and you can often obtain bags of bubble wrap for free through a local recycling group like freecycle freecycle,, paper from  your shredder would do the job but add weight and therefore postage cost, crumpled up egg boxes or polystyrene padding will do, the key thing being that there is adequate soft padding all around the inner pack so that it is nicely protected at all sides against knocks and, equally important, it sits snugly and cannot slide about in transit.  Finally, of course close and seal the outer box securely, do  your normal addressing, add fragile stickers etc...

Charge a realistic amount for postage This will cost you more than sending an LP in a record mailer, as the 78s are heavier, much more brittle being made of a different material and need bulkier and therefore heavier packing materials. Y ou may be prepared  just break You even or inneed sometocases some subsidizeto only postage. The latter will especially happen where  you have have popped some 78s on eBay and only realize afterwards that postage will be unusually expensive. Your buyer might prefer to pay a little extra for postage to have confidence that the records he/she wants will arrive safely. You could negotiate after the sale, as a buyer I have sometimes insisted on paying more for postage when I see an unrealistically low postage offer! No buyer wants to receive a cracked record. No seller wants negative feedback or to have to pay compensation to an unhappy buyer. So communicate with your buyer and everyone will be happy.

dramatically with eg. Ireland being very cheap and Austria outrageously expensive, with places like France and Germany somewhere in the middle. If you naively think that it should cost the same to send a parcel to Germany and Austria, both being roughly roughly in the same part of the world and both in the EU, EU, think again. If you quote a single price you may end up giving a heavy subsidy to that buyer in Austria or Estonia or wherever. wherever. There are cheaper options than Parcelforce for heavy parcels but as I find it easier to lug my parcels to my local Post Office for despatch, I can't recommend a service which I have not myself myself tried out. Get a receipt of posting from the Post Post Office This provides you with free insurance up to £35 in the case of Royal Mail and £150 for Parcelforce. Parcelf orce. Check these limits when you post, that is from my memory.   You can buy extra insurance fairly cheaply.  Note that only the contents will be insured, insured, not the cost of postage.  If in case case of loss or breakage you you don't intend to offer a refund for postage costs, try to make that clear on your item listing. If despite despitegive everything, the records arrive cracked, a no quibble refund arrive refund Don't expect your buyer to post heavy broken records back to you! If you don't take the buyer's word for it, ask for a photo of the broken record to be emailed to you.  If you intend to sell on eBay again, your reputation is more important than the few quid you have lost.  Don't get into one of those awful abusive slanging matches matches that liven up feedback pages on eBay. Almost everyone who buys 78s on eBay is a really nice person.  They will be pleased to get your refund but will still be crying over the two halves halves of that special record they wanted in their collection!

Up to 5 records will usually come within the 2 kilo limit for a Royal Mail small packet, while above that  you can use Parcelforce Parcelforce.. If you are very careful and use bubble wrap or poly beads in large quantity for your padding, weighing the parcel before you finally seal it, you may squeeze 6 records in within the 2 kilo limit.  If you are only sending one 78, first or second class post might be cheaper, check at your local post office. Overseas is much more tricky as once you go over 2 kilos the price escalates dramatically to such an extent that it is almost always cheaper to send 2 separate parcels just under 2 kilos than to send a single 3 or 4 kilo parcel. Crazy but true. Also while the Royal Royal Mail price structure for under 2 kilos is simple with a single price for all of Europe and another single price for rest of the

His early career coincided with technical recording innovations; innovatio ns; this allowed him to develop a laid-back, intimate singing style that influenced influenced many of the popular male singers who followed him, including Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin.

Playing Playin g 78rpms 78r pms Written by Roger Beardsley (Ver (Versions sions of this have appeared in International Classic Record Collector, The Record Collector and elsewhere.)

Record Player The idea behind this guide is to help collectors to get the best results from their precious 78rpm records. It is not exhaustive, neither is it highly technical. Whilst it starts from scratch, it is equally applicable to those with some sort of 78 replay system. This is prob probably ably the most suitable point to say that electrical reproduction with good, modern equipment is infinitely superior to original 78rpm gramophones, whether electric or acoustic. Even the EMGs (large horn acoustic machines) cannot compete. And of course only modern lightweight pickups can be used on vinyl pressings such as those produced by Historic Masters: not even thorns can be used without damage. However, the upside is that such pressings can produce quite stunning results when reproduced on good, simple equipment. To Play 78s you need the Following Equipment: 1. A turntable with variable speed adjustment, covering a range  from about 60 to 90 rpm. Several are available to do this. this. 2. A good quality tone arm, containing a stereo cartridge, and styli that have been retipped for playing 78s. 3. An amplifier, preferably preferably one capable of selecting mono as well as stereo. Ideally, it should have a facility for reproducing the different equalisations used in the 78 era. 4. High quality loudspeakers. It is easy to think that 78 rpm discs, with their limited acoustic range compared with modern recordings, do not require good loudspeakers. The opposite is true.

Turntable The first item you will need is a suitable turntable with  variable speed. This This is because so ma many ny 78s were not recorded at exactly 78rpm: speeds of between 72 and 85 rpm are quite common, with a few higher or lower lower.. Probably the cheapest option is a second-hand variablespeed Goldring-Lenco unit, one of the ‘GL’ series. The Theyy are still easy to find and relatively cheap. They always benefit from some basic maintenance, which will include a new idler wheel. The biggest problem with the Goldrings, is the incidence of rumble. That new idler wheel will help, as will removing removing,, cleaning and regreasing the main bearing. bearing. If you cannot tackle this  yourself, many many specialist hi-fi sho shops ps can do it for you. you. Other turntables types include the STD, which has a useful (though very accurate) digital readout, but which not can always be a nightmare to repair, since spares are hard to find. Many other types can be found that will play 78s, but not usually with the required speed  variation. Garrard Garrard 301/401 aass they stand only have something like a 3% variation, although can at some expense be modified by Loricraft to give very wide speed control. It is perhaps worth mentioning that the Goldring and STD turntables are capable capable of almost infinite speed variation up to 90 rpm and are thus ideal if you play Pathé discs. discs. If a larger budget is available, and it is worth relating this to the cost/value of your collection, then pr probably obably the best option is the modified Tech Technics nics SL1200. It is a high-quality, ruggedly built unit, capable of seriously good results. It comes complete with arm and removable removab le head shell, a necessary feature with the need for different styli (See next section). In its normally modified form, the speed variation is between 72 and 85. Sufficient for most purposes, but not all. However it can be altered if necessary necessary,, to give speeds of over 100 rpm

For those wishing to spend more, the Technics SP10 Mk. 2 and EMT 950 are regularly available from firms dealing in ex-broadcast and studio equipment. These however require require specialist skills in order to interface with domestic pre-amp/amplifier systems and in both cases, variable speed options may not be installed as standard. Cartridge/Styli With a suitable turntable, the next item to consider is the cartridge/stylus. Ordinary hi-fi types are not really ideal for the harsh conditions conditions of 78 playback. High surface speeds and recorded velocities, warped and badly centred records and heavier playing weights all conspire to upset delicate stylus systems. Suitable cartridges are the Shure SC35, Shure M44, Stanton 500 series and Ortofon Pro range. All are very reasonably priced, and come with an LP stylus which can be re-tipped by specialist companies c ompanies with a 78 type. 78 styli have a tip, that is much broader that that used for LPs. All of these will track happily at 4/5 grams, the optimum weight given the groovegroove-wall wall geometry/ dynamics of the 78.

The best option is a special pre-amp designed for 78s, but they are not cheap. The basic ones do the job quite well, but if you cannot afford one at all, then reducing the bass with the tone control on your system will help balance the bass range g reatly reatly.. For the top end, if playing an electrical 78, some treble boost will brighten the sound quite nicely but at the expense of more surface noise. It is a question of personal taste. With acoustic records (and some very early electrics), there is little at the top end anyway and any treble boost needed is likely to be minimal, but again, adjust to taste. If your control unit unit has a mono switch, use it. What that does is to parallel the two outputs from the cartridge. This helps reduce distortion and rumble. Filtering is another question where personal taste operates. Control units such as the Quad series have a  variable slope filter that that can, when ju judiciously diciously used, reduce the noise with little effect on the sound because what you doing, is to cut noise that is higher in frequency than the recorded sound. It is an interesting observation that, the better the equipment, the less filtering is usually necessary necessary..

However, to play most records well you don’t need more than two. The most useful are .0032” and . 0028”. The .0032” will give good results on most HMV/Victor recordings from the period 1905 to 1940. The .0028” will give better reproduction on most Columbia, Parlophone Parlophone and Odeon for the same period as well as being good for pre-revolutionary Russian HMVs.

78 rpm Stylus Sizes Written by a 78rpm Community member 

A recent, and somewhat underrated discussion on the 78L list, focussed on stylus size for playing playing various types of 78 rpm records including acoustic, electric, vertical, transcription etc. Unfortunately, Unfortunately, it wasn't a clearly organized discussion - as most discussions on the list unfortunately are - due to its email format -but after many emails, the truth of the matter seemed to suggest that stylus size is important for various types types of recording playback. Personally, I have always relied on the esoteric sound website for advice on stylus use which I have reproduced and accredited below: • 2.0 mil - wo worn rn LPs, ssome ome AFRS transc transcriptions riptions • 2.5 - 2. 2.5 5 mil - many 7 78's, 8's, transcriptions transcriptions • 3 - 3.0 mil - most most 30's-50's 30's-50's slightly worn 78s & transcriptions, Edison discs • 3.5 - 3.5 m mil il - old or w worn orn 78s, ttransc ranscriptions riptions • 4.0 mil - ve very ry old or worn dis discs, cs, rraw aw aluminum, aluminum, RCA RCA home [From: http://www http://www.esotericsound.com .esotericsound.com/CartStyli.htm] /CartStyli.htm]

One member of the list questioned whether the use use of a 3.0 mil standard stylus was appropriate for general use on all 78s. The member also added that they used a slightly smaller size, 2.7 mil stylus on another head-shell set up for vertical discs. For For the most part the 3.0 mil stylus worked fine for their daily needs. However, However, the member recently acquired the recording: Gennett 6006, "Big Boy" George Owens. While the disc was a bit worn the member had discs look a lot worse than this and play much better. better. So I was wondering if it's a groove size/ stylus size mismatch. I changed my 2.7 mil stylus back to play lateral and it sounds markedly better, but now wondering how much better could it get? This is my first Gennett Electrobeam record. Any advice on stylus size which works best for these? It's time I started to expand my range of available styli anyway. Another member of the list suggested: Your 2.7 mil stylus may be hitting a less worn part of the groove. And a larger tip might be a lot of help. I had to use a 4-mil stylus to play several mid 30s Decca’s not long ago. Nothing to do with wear, wear, they just wouldn't track properly with anything smaller including my trusty 2.0 mil TE. The original poster responded: So is it possible that it could sound better both above and below 3 mils? I was thinking that since it sounded better on 2.7 it would be in that direction.

(Grand Prizes, Monarchs, some Columbia’s, etc.) The 2.5 is great for transcriptions and most Edison’s. Sometimes a 1.0 mil works even better on them, though, and others even do well with the 3.8. 3. 8. I've always said you really roll the dice when you lay an Edison on the turntable for a transfer. Another member posted some fantastic information regarding playback stylus size with record makes - and I am reproducing this information in the hope it will help novices who are just starting out with collecting 78 rpm records. I have have also posted the contact information of the company that supplied the information below: LABEL TYPES AND/PERIODS 1. 00.18" Useful for some acoustic Richmond Gennett recordings: Some early aluminum and acetate transcription discs.

They began playing at colleges, fraternity parties, proms, etc. and later went on to play in theaters. 18. They had a big hit in 1925 with the song "Collegiate", probably their best known song. Other popular novelty songs were "I've Never Seen a Straight Banana" and "I Wonder How I Look When I'm Asleep". They became very popular and by by the end of the 1920s were very much in demand. In 1929 they starred in a sound film called Syncopation, released by RKO Radio Pictures. Later, they became more famous as a choral g roup.

24. From 1948 to 1954, The Fred Waring Show appeared weekly on CBS Television. The group remained in business until Fred Waring's death in 1984.

Continued in Part 2 of our next newsletter...

In this post, we’ll address these two issues (and in a second post – we’ll look at some examples worth considering). We’ll We’ll also include in the second post a downloadable blank catalog which will help you start this daunting task in both MS Word and MAC .pages formats…) Firstly,, the matter of collecting information… Firstly What information should I collect from a 78rpm record? 

As with any catalog/index, certain information is vital for collectors – particularly information relating to performer(s), record number(s), matrix number(s) and take number(s). As a general starting point, the following list includes record details that should be included in any record catalog/index:

1. Compos Composition(s) ition(s) (It’ (It’ss important to inclu include de both sides of a record…) 2. Compos Composer(s) er(s) 3. Performer(s) Performer(s) 4. Length of recording recording sides and and album number number (Many 78rpms were issued in ‘albums’ – featuring different compositions…) 5. Record num number(s) ber(s) (E (Each ach side of a record will will usually  feature the same record number – but there can be variations such as side 1- 23423A and 23423B…) 6. Matrix number(s) (Matrix number numberss will always be different. Each side of a recording will have its own unique matrix number…) 7. Take number(s) (Make sure to add add this information to  your index as well…) 8. Catalog nu number mberss of foreig foreignn pressings/rele pressings/releases ases (if known) (Sometimes a record was issued in another country(s) and as a result, may have a different record number… Old record catalogs are a great resource in locating different record numbers of the same record…) 9. Record Recording ing or issue date(s) Of significant importance is the matrix matrix and ‘take’ numbers of  each recording (usually two recordings on one record…) Take Take numbers help collectors to differentiate between different recordings of the same composition. Thankfully,, most 78rpm record companies kept all Thankfully recording takes of a performance – and often issued or substituted at a later date – a different take if the final, chosen approved take was destroye destroyed d or

In the example above, the matrix number is listed as: OEA 15007 and the take number is listed as “-1  – meaning that the first recorded recorded take was issued. Of course, there may have have been additional takes of the performance which may or may not have been used for later pressings. !

Matrix and take numbers were usually pressed into the shellac itself – often near or between the run-o run-out ut grooves in the ’6 o’clock’ position – however this can often vary depending on the record label or make. For example, Polydor Polydor often featured the matrix/take numbers at the 3 or 9 o’clock positions. Additionally, some record companies used a letter to designate take sequence instead of a number – for example, A often meant, take 1 and B often meant, take 2, etc… etc … Labels are a great source of discographical information which will will help make the job of adding information to your catalog easier. easier. The label will feature information on performer(s), composition(s), composer(s) as well as record number. In the example above – the record number is DA 1970. The record number will usually be the same for both sides sides of the record.

If you’re familiar familiar with record number prefixes, the task of entering data into a catalog can spe speed ed up the process for you. For example, His Masters’ Voice used the ‘D’ prefix for their international series. DA – meant 10inch and the DB prefix meant 12inch recordings. In most cases, record companies issued their records in sequence/blocks – so knowing the record number of a record can often help to ‘date’ a recor record d approximately. For example, DA 1970 is dated approximately approxima tely around the early 1952. (See photo below…) The 78rpm Collectors’ Community Prefix Guide is a handy little document to have.

RESTORING 78RPMS – PART 1 Interest in 78rpm recordings has reached a new level of appreciation over the past decade or so. Fueled by the internet, hundreds of sites have appeared relating to 78s – including our own – in which 78s are sold for download and discussed in forums or social network sites like Twitter and FaceBook. In the process, new audiences are rediscovering rediscov ering long lost or forgotten recordings. Thankfully, depending on where you live, most Thankfully, 78rpms recordings – particularly those made before 1950 are now out of copyright for one reason or another and happily (for us), a new breed of restorers has appeared, showing off their results of digitizing and restoring 78s for others to enjoy. As one website states in their notes, “…from Caruso to Callas, there has been an explosion in historical vocal releases in the past decade… many have appeared on enterprising small labels l abels like Romophone, Pearl and V VAI, AI, which rely on the generous resources of enlightened collectors. In both instances, a handful of dedicated  American sound engineers have produced some of the most significant results. “None of us are in this for the money money,” ,” observes Ward Marston, a pioneer in transferring old 78s. “We’re “We’re all in it for the love of singing singing,, for the love of old records. Most of us are collectors.”   [1] [1] And at the heart of this new wave of interest in old 78rpm recordings is the love love of collecting and restoring long forgotten gems – no matter the genre. For a new generation of collectors and listeners, these sites are a hidden treasure trove of forgotten sounds and history hi story.. Shame then, that for many who make money from reissues – the major companies (originally responsible for recording most of these forgotten sounds) are far less bothered in reissuing treasures from their  vaults – and are either hampered by archaic copyright laws or internet file-sharing illegalities. Despite this, digitalizing 78s by hobbyists and semi-professionals continues unabated. With each new restored share – the fascinating process of creatively transforming  old recordings grows and improves - spurred on by discussion and debate. This, rather lengthy, lengthy, two-part article delves into the fascinating world of the intricate and timeconsuming processes of transferring, digitalising and restoring 78rpms and what makes the ‘restorer’, tick. So how do restorers restorers choose what to restore? For many non-commercial/hobby restorers, it comes down to personal choice and preferences.  preferences.  While one restorer may prefer jazz and swing – others may prefer classical or operatic. In most cases, the restorers we interviewed are

experienced collectors of 78s and as a result have preferences for certain genres of music. Interestingly,, choice can also be driven by Interestingly collecting habits, a personal liking for certain performers as well as scarcity of a particular type of rec reco ord. As Bill Anderson; an active member mem ber of the 78rpm 78rpm Collectors Community, noted noted in our interview with him, “the lack of commercial reissues, or poorly engineered reissues, are also contributing factors. I

sometimes discsor that have unique historical importance,transfer culturally politically (e.g. the Talich/ CzPO ‘Sokol March’ recorded at the time of the Munich  Agreement in 1938)” . [Ed. Y You ou can hear Bill's excellent transfer transfer of this 1938 recording  below:]  below:] Sokol March – Talich/ Conducting the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra (HMV 1938)

Because there area many elements to transferring and engineering recording to digital form, a  variety of software is often needed. One, wellwellknown restorer who we interviewed for this article had this to say. “For the initial transfer to the digital domain, I use DC8. I use this for some basic derumbling, before then de-clicking, de-clicking, equalising and de-hissing in ClickRepair, Equalizer, Equalizer, DeNoiseLF and DeNoise, all created by Brian Davies and available at http://  www.clickrepair www.clickr epair.net. .net. After all of this I merge the recording recording down to mono. For speed adjustments and for stitching multi-side recordings together, I go back to DC8. I use  HarBal to carry out ou t fine-tuning of the equalisation, and  possibly then DC8 or DeNoise to carr y out further dehissing after this, and other adjustments – reducing any residual thumps using spectral editing, and so on.” 

http://www.78rpmcommunity.com/public/ music_song/1000000/1000/42/1095.mp3 Of fundamental importance is the need to obtain the very best source material – be it “mint” copies of 78s, “used” shellac copies found in second-hand record stores, online or at record fairs or the original metal masters of a particular recording.. By far the best source material is the recording metal master. “The metal positive, compared with a shellac pressing, is astonishingly quiet and relatively click  free.”  [2]  [2]

Original metal positives or ‘mothers’ from which stampers pressed 78rpm shellac records is a generation much closer to the original wax disc. Often then not, they do not display anything like the imperfections that a 78r pm record does. However for many collectors, access to these masters or metal stampers is often impractical or downright impossible. impossible. In the majority of cases, “clean” 78rpm shellac pressings are used, but with the correct playback stylus and turntable and the use of modern computer software, software, these “secondhand”, “clean” shellac pressings can still produce wondrous results. The Restorer as Editor and Censor: Whether aware of the fact, many restorers of 78rpms are editors and to an extent, censors. Often than not, 78rpm restorers select material to restore based on individual likes, preferences for music genres and to some extent, public interest. Through individual, religious, political, cultural or personal choices, they select, dismiss or promote certain types of music over over others. Thankfully,, choices are rarely criticized. In many Thankfully cases, many restorers have extensive blogs which they use use to explore and discuss recordings they restore – restore  – and have large lists lists of followers who promote a healthy, healthy, if not often, heated debate on selections. Many of these blogs feature lengthy comments and opinions from listeners – our own site, www.78rpmcommunity.com – not withstanding.

Software:

“With acoustic recordings, I will tend to perform major adjustments to equalisation, in order to achieve a more natural instrumental sound, and in this case, noise reduction is better carried out afterwards.” 

This contrasts with another restorer – Bill Anderson, who notes, “using the Algorithmix tool … is a good starting point for my transfers. If the records are  fairly clean, then I decrease the settings, the opposite for worn or problematic sides. Also, de-clicking takes more than one pass, sometimes as many as four passes are needed to get the desired results. The key is to listen carefully and when the high end musical signal starts to dull, I back off the filter settings and/or bump up slightly the high frequencies with an equalizer.”  What is obvious, however, however, is that no matter the approach taken to restoring restoring 78s, a variety of software is essential to achieve optimal results. In most cases, the inherent “scratch” found on even the cleanest of 78rpm pressings, can distract distract and hide upper and lower frequencies frequencies of sound on shellac discs. In many cases, these “lost” frequencies are only recoverable when filtered by software. As Bill Anderson (and many other restorers) know from experience, software is only part of the process in restoring 78s to listenable tolerances. In many cases, multiple layers of software intervention is required to bring a 78rpm a 78rpm to listenable listenable levels. Take Bill’s examples below which received three passes pass es to achieve a acceptable level of tolerance. In the example below, below, Bill transferred the 78rpm as raw files using the following tolerances: 300Hz turnover,, -5 db rolloff at 10kHz stereo. turnover During the first filtering, he employed DC/ART: Av Average erage Filter setting 2 ( a ‘ripple’ notch filter

Some interesting blogs worth exploring include:

with a moderate drop after 10Khz) and used Algorithmix: 78 declick/decrackle settings.

http://satyr78lp.blogspot.com http://shellackophile.blogspot.com

During the second filtering, he converted the files (both sides sides of the recording) to mono and then

In the final filtering process, he used Algorithmix again using the “moderate vinyl” settings and applied DC/ART: Continuous Noise Filter (CNF) – 1st setting moderate. To finish off, he added, Paragraphic equalizer to bump up higher frequency to compensate for the CNF effect – (Continuous Noise Filter, Filter, 2nd setting light).

to choose a stylus not necessarily necessarily by the age of the recording but rather by the resultant sound effect it will achieve. I often change a stylus during the transfer of a side, particularly particularly if excessive wear or ‘chatter’ is evident. Despite the available science, cyclic swish is still a problem, although varying the stylus can often minimise this effect for the listener.”

That limited the upper frequencies, and the structure structure of the material is audible, creating surface noise. In “modern”do everything remastering digital soundthis engineers do  everythingtothey canmedia, to eliminate noise, but at the same time can eliminate essential components of the sound. That’s the main reason why many restored recordings sound dull at best, and usually catastrophically bad.

Most modern playback equipment now-a-days accentuates the scratch found on 78s – so some filtering of the original sound needs to be controlled, reduced reduced or eliminated with software or playback hardware. Thankfully some software is freely available on the internet, while other software can cost many hundreds of dollars. Listen to the examples below of Percy Grainger playing a Chopin sonata to see how ClickRepair effectively removes unwanted “noise” from 78s.

Hardware is just as important in transferring a 78rpm as software. The “correct” type of stylus, turntable and record cleaner can make the difference between a good transfer and a poor transfer. Finding the most suitable stylus for transferring a 78rpm recording is important and choice can significantly alter the character of the recorded sound.

They all have their particular quirks and ways of collecting. collecting. I know a collector south of here who will only collect 78s with import stamps on the labels. Another collector I’ve heard about will only collect records with blue labels.” He later explains that that’s quite easy – as many common labels were either blue, red or black. “It’s not the quirk that makes collecting so appealing.” Jeffries Jeffries later adds. “Collecting is about the desire to preserve and play back a piece of living history – something you can hear, hear, feel and experience – music has the power to do that. If you’re a little crazy as well – so be it!” I have to agree with him. He flips on a few records while we settle in for the afternoon of listening, drinking and reminiscing – but thankfully Nathan decides to slip on something a little less revealing! Old 78s Becoming Big Business Again...

The Ecc Eccent entric riciti ities es of Collecting 78s Eccentricity must go hand in hand with collecting – particularly if you have the odd hobby of collecting jazz 78s records, playing playing bluegrass records to the cat in the basement and love to run miles day after day while listening to an ipod full of scratchy old jazz recordings. recordings. But that’s what a seemingly young 35 year old collector; Nat Jeffries; of Pennsylvania has found himself doing – and many of his friends think

While Duke Ellington blared out from a makeshift modern record player; capable capable of playing 78s, he prompted me to sit down and listen while he stood at the turntable in nothing but running shoes and a jockstrap! He’d just got back from a eight mile run he informed me; and while on the road, he noticed a section of the Ellington track that he hadn’t taken notice before; hence his need to quickly check it on loud speakers – as

he’s a little bit odd as a result.

well as his modest level of dress.

“Most young people are listening to rap – but  Jeffries listens listens to scratchy scratchy old records – a collection now reaching some 3000 records.” Said a close friend of the collector. collector.

So what makes you an obsessive collector of 78s, 7 8s, I asked? “It’s the thrill of the chase,” He said. “Y “You ou try to find the missing record to make a collection complete – but often or not, you end up finding other records which set you off in a different direction.”

But as I investigated this subject further, further, I discovered discover ed that’s the strange nature of collecting  – particularly when its 78s. Many 78 collectors collectors will attest to having h aving a slight eccentricity. eccentricity. “After “After all, searching for old records gets into in to your blood until it becomes an obsession.” Remarked a fellow collector friend – who’s collection is now reaching 10,000 78s. Nathan’s collection is moderately small Nathan’s compared to some 78 private collections. Rumor Rumor has it that a collector in New York York state has a collection nearing 80,000. When I went to visit  Jeffries in his over-cro over-crowded wded basement, he introduced himself himself at the door of his basement – come “storage room” as the “mad Jazz collector”.

His collection is mostly jazz, a bit of swing but nothing serious like classical. “I’ve got a friend in California that collects nothing but classical 78s.” He added. “He says he has about 20,000 but it’s  just not what I’m interested in.” Why jazz? “It’s just great music.” He says, shifting his jock. “Pure music from a time when a record company could hook up a microphone and a portable disc recorder in the field and cut a few records in an afternoon over a few whiskeys. That just doesn’t happen now – music is too manufactured nowadays, nowadays, and as a result, we’ve lost some of the thrill and spontaneity of just “making music” and letting music live. You get

It seems now, that old 78s are becoming big business all over again... The New Yorker Magazine recently featured an article on the growing popularity of old 78rpm recordings being sold online online.. Alex Cross; music critic; for the New Yorker Magazine notes:  The other day, with a few clicks on my computer keyboard, I travelled in time to 1943. On November 28th of that year, year, Arturo Toscanini Toscanini led the NBC Symphony in orchestral excerpts from the Wagner operas. A remastering of the performance is available from the Web site Pristine Classical, which offers historic recordings in various downloadable formats. I selected a CD-quality version, paid with a credit card, and within minutes had gone into the golden age of radio.  He argues that the internet has made listening and appreciating 78s; and in  particular, remastered remastered 78s; popular again. Listeners can download 78rpm recordings that match or exceed CD quality and can have them made available instantly. Most websites offering 78 rpm recorders nearly always sell them in a remastered format - often free from unnecessary surface noise.  

He argues:  For a century or so, the life of a home listener was simple: you had your disks disks,, whether in the form of cylinders, 78s, LPs, or CDs, and, no matter how many of them piled up, there was a clear demarcation between the music that you had and the music that you didn’t. The Internet has removed that distinction. The internet has made it possible for small companies devoted to reissuing early 78rpm recordings to thrive in an industry where the giants are significantly shrinking.  

Take the following companies companies as proof of this: Pristine Audio Legendary Treasures Mainly Opera Norbeck, Peters; Ford Dutton Vocalion Marston Records Beulah Additionally, it appears that as the copyright for many of these recordings expire; (many countries have have a 50 year rule for sound recordings); many are now being cataloged on large internet repositories (such as archive.org archive.org and charm.co.uk). These recordings can then be streamed live or downloaded for later listening using an mp3 device. At the heart of this renewal of interest in old sound recordings, recordings, the internet is changing the models of distribution distribution and access of this material. While larger record labels sit on vast repositories of old recordings - and fail to release few titles - if any - other smaller companies are filling the void using the copyright loophole. Mid-range label, Naxos Historical was one of the first labels to exploit this niche with many of their historical reissues - available in countries featuring the 50 year rule on sound recordings - such as the U.K., Canada and Australia. Coupled with new, wider internet markets and audiences and the simplicity of accessing and downloading materials from anywhere many of these smaller labels are finding niches with new customers, markets andmusic interest groups.

You should only use a stylus (needle) designed to play 78's. The grooves on a 78 are significantly wider and deeper than the grooves on an LP. LP. Using an incorrect stylus will result in: noisier,, more hissy transfers noisier far less accurate reproduction reproduction of the music

Normalization and Compression

Ideally you should consider more than one stylus width if you are playing really old shellac records, because because there was no standardization of groove dimensions until late in the 78 rpm era. Search our website for advice.

Review and Export 

Cleaning the records Clean the 78s as thoroughly as possible before recording.. This will save you time later as recording cleaning clicks/pops is hard work work if you do it manually through the use of software. Do not use alcohol-based solvents on the shellac, use only water or o r water-based cleaners. You You can use a bit of washing up liquid on a piece of  velvet and warm water. water. Give them a wash, in cool not hot water, and place them in the dish rack - then change the water and rinse thoroughly thorou ghly - finally rinse off with distilled (deionized) water, water, then drain and dry off with a dry piece of velvet.

Review the track to decide if any further treatment is required, or if you need to restart from scratch. If you are happy with your work than your project is ready for export - export or save the file as WAV and/or MP3 etc. Backup Don't forget to backup your finished audio files as  you will not want to lose all that hard work; ideally at least two separate copies on separate media. You You may wish to consider also backing up  your original capture capture masters as WA WAV files, then  you can always come come back to the raw recording recording later and re-process it if you need or want to.

Av Avoid oid wiping with kitchen paper or similar, similar, as these are both abrasive, and can leave fibers stuck in the grooves. Equalization Often overlooked - but very important. When transferring 78 r pm's, pre-amplification built into any 'modern' consumer-level consumer-level preamplifier or USB turntable will be designed for  vinyl records records made from the 1950s onwards. onwards. The problem is that most 78 rpm records were not cut with such a strong high frequency bias. They therefore sound dull if played through modern equipment that applies RIAA playback equalization. To overcome this, see the filtering section below... Noise Removal Over the years your 78s will undoubtedly have received scratches and wear, which will result in clicks, pops and crackle. Use free or paid 'noise removal software' such as Audacity, Goldwave or ClickRepair.

As mentioned above - always use a special stylus or cartridge. Your overall results will be significantly better by using a stylus designed for the type of recording. recording. With 78rpm records, many different speeds, groove sides and recording processes were used - so try to match your record type and make to a stylus that will give the best playback results.

For recordings from the 1940s or later set the cutoff frequency at 9 kHz or 10 kHz; for electrical recordings (1926 to 1939) about 8 kHz,

The Edison Disc, also known as a Diamond Disc record, was a type of audio disc record marketed by Edison Records from 1912 to 1929. They were known as Diamond Discs because the reproducer fitted to the matching Edison disc player was fitted with a diamond stylus. Edison had previously concentrated on producing phonograph cylinders but decided to get into the disc market due to the increasing market share of disc sound recordings, especially the discs of companies such as Victor Talking Machine Company (the format of which would evolve into "78 records"). Victor and most other disc record companies used side to side or lateral motion of the stylus in the record groove, whereas in the Edison system the movement was up and down or vertical (also known as "hill-and-dale" motion), as in a cylinder record. An Edison Disc Phonograph is distinguished by the diaphragm of the reproducer being located parallel to the disc surface. surface. The Victor (or similar) diaphragm is located at a right angles to the surface of the disc such that the diaphragm is more or less parallel to the groove. The grooves on an Edison Disc are smooth on the sides and have a variable depth. Standard lateral discs will have a more constant depth, but the sides of the groove are scalloped. As the Edison groove pitch (or "TPI", i.e. "threads per inch") was 150, a much finer g rooving than that on lateral discs, Edison's 10-inch discs played considerably longer than Victor's or Columbia's -- up to nearly five minutes per side. The Edison Disc is also #-inch thick (supposedly to prevent warping), and was filled with wood flour, and later, china clay. Victor's system could not play Edison Discs as the needles used would cut through the recorded sound, and the Edison system could not play Victor or other lateral discs unless one used special equipment, like the Kent adapter. adapter. There is an example of a device to play Edison discs on a Victor machine. The Brunswick Ultona and the Sonora Phonograph were the only machines besides the Diamond Disc player that could play Diamond Discs, but Edison made an attempt at curbing this (a phonograph/gramophone that could play Edison, Victor/later Victor/lateral al 78s, and Pathé discs) by stating "This Re-Creation should not be played on any instrument except the Edison Diamond Disc P honograph and with the Edison Diamond Disc Reproducer, and we decline responsibility responsibility for any damage that may occur to it if this warning is ignored." The Edison records had their greatest commercial success in the mid 1910s to early 1920s, with sales peaking in 1920. Diamond Discs arguably had better audio fidelity fidelity,, but were more expensive than and incompatible with other brands of records, and ultimately lost out in the marketplace. In 1926, an attempt at reviving interest interest in the Edison Disc was with a 450-TPI longplaying disc, still spinning at 80 r pm, with times of 24 minutes per 10-inch disc and 40 for a 12-inch disc, but problems occurred (notably with broken groove walls and overall low volume, often only 40% of that of the regular discs), and the disc failed. In August 1927, discs began to be electrically recorded, making Edison the last major label to adopt electrical recording recording (over two years after Victor, Columbia, and Brunswick had converted from acoustical recording). Sales continued to drop, however however,, and although Edison Discs were available from dealers until the company left the record business in late October 1929, the last vertically-cut direct masters were recorded in the early summer of that year. year. The U.S. phonograph and record industry itself reached a historic nadir during that year year,, as the onset of the Great Depression and the rise of radio depressed sales and sent numerous companies out of business.
