so i don't own any 78s, but mainly cause i don't really know what's what. once i get a feel for some of that golden blues, jazz, and r & b, i'll see what i can uncover. but my question is, for those of you who listen to 78s, do have a separate needle to listen to them? the old record player that i managed to get here in india, and a few of the record players i've seen that were made during the 78-lp transition, have a different needle to play lps/45s or 78s. so do y'all listen on a different player or what? just curious.

I guess the sound of a record spinning so fast is to die for though...
yeah, i heard about those beatles 78s. i think india is the only country to press beatles on 78. apparently they're worth thousands.
78s look cool (I had some blues and James Brown shiz), but who has the time to get the needle and all that? Maybe when I'm older and drinking more wine/eating cheese and talking about stocks to acquaintances.
Peace
