Nice to hear! Do you remember if the 45 was relesed at the same time or was it later? I understand that the 45 was the new thing and marketed as a replacement for 78 but what did you think about it at the time? Was the sound as good as the 78?
Yas. We'se all got our talismans. Suckers or Salvators? Supporting some alternative to whatevs 'dominating the charts' or relecting, assessing , urging some over the shoulder in life as well as those touchstones by those who offered us guidance.
I was in school back in '56 and Jimmy was on mainstream radio every day along with Elvis and Johnny be Good. Payola worked better than our current rigged music menu's.
YEEEAH, man !!!!- your library is got it going on EXCELLENT sound quality control--give me more- i thank you for all you share-can i thank you for the ones that have not told you yet
Thank you. Yes, my ambition is to upload everything with best possible sound i can get out of these records. It requires a good cleaning which i described in a previouse video and the preamplifier is important.
Fabulous! Isn't it amazing how good 78s can sound, even when they look worn? Wow, I'm deeply envious of your 78 Ortofon SPU! 😮 (Not to mention that beautiful Thorens - I have one myself which I might get refurbished and built into a plinth one day, but for now I'm happy with my Garrard 301.)
Yes they sound good. This cartridge is the Ortofon type C, before SPU, and it was sold with several needle cuts. This has a 90 mu grinding refurbished by a company in UK. I use it on records that are worn. Have not yet found a modern cartridge that sound as good, not even new Ortofone and they are max 65 mu. I belive the 301 and 124 are equivalent but you can tell us when your 124 is done and you can compare.
Don’t feel bad there Marcus: in 1962, I had a priceless baseball card collection with cards dating back to the late 1800s !!!! My family moved from Jamaica , Queens to Bayside , Queens. They must have felt that the move was going to be too much for me or they just wanted me out of the way, so I was sent with a friend up to a sleep away summer camp. When I returned to the new home, my baseball cards were gone . A bunch of other stuff too . . That collection , today?? (I don’t even want to think about it) hahaha
Glad I'm leading you back in right direction :) Don't get to hanged up on Thorens, there are plenty of other good players. I choose Thorens for 78 because it's very practical and there are plenty of spare parts.
All these Thorens an most others are built for shorter arms. Armbords are replaced to accomodate longer arms such 12”. Guess only a few American arms and some transcription arms are longer. This is a SME 3012 serie II with a replaced counterweight for SPU style cartridges that are heavy.
Yes of course! That will be fun! I don't get anything either. if any advertising money is generated it goes to copyright owner. Doing this just for fun.
Thank you for your comment, even if I don’t understand what it means. If you feel that your message is important maybe you would like to explain your concern. Thanks again!
@@acghifiaudio-vinyland78rpm53sorry my friend. I was a bit polluted last night jamming with my wonderful bride to great music. The phrase I used was one my dear father used when he loved or approved of something. I was in the moment and used his words. I meant NO DISRESPECT, only an expression of my delight at your posting such a cool song. Please keep em comming as I've subscribed. Thanks again!
Thank you for the comment. I have tried to reduce that by starting the sound as the record start and i let the video "catch-up" by a small cut just after start. learnt that from another u-tuber :)
@@paulluchter137 I try to never cut of anything. If I have it is by mistake. Copyright detector detects in any part of a song. Cutting of the end does not change anything. But cooyright is no problem anymore. The only thing is that no copyright material can be monetized. Revenue of eventual commercials goes to the copyright owner. Thats a new deal since some years. I don’t care because I only do this for fun, not for money. Thank you for your comment.
You got me dizzy was the first record I ever bought on a 78 and I still have it and that was 1957 I’m 79 now, that’s when blues was blues

My dad had this record at the same time.. it was his drinking music!

man they just dont make music like this anymore . what a sound Mr Reed had
I was in school back in '56 and Jimmy was on mainstream radio every day along with Elvis and Johnny be Good. Payola worked better than our current rigged music menu's.
Thank you for the information. Trying to upload more Elvis and Chuck but they seem difficult from a copywright perspective. Haven't given up.
Right on😊
My MAIN man, Mr Reed. He gets me dizzy. So much so that I ran his Fan base since 1962 after first meeting him in 1958 in Vancouver.
Thank you! interesting story.
Magnifique interprétation 😊
Gracias!! Un placer escuchar al gran Jimmy!!
Saludos desde Argentina 🙋
The sound is so great great👌👌🎸🎸
Sounds beyond great
Thank you! The hunt for the perfect sound never stops 😀
Rip jimmy up there with the Greats

Good ol tunes🎸 i aint talking about when Mother trashed my 78's collection when I joined the Army.
Agree and I feel sorry for your loss.

Rip jimmy I know you’re playing up there
Sounds great ! 78s are the future !
Yes, I’ve been saying that for more than 30 years, but…. 😀
Forgot, uploading 6 more Jimmy Reed today. VeeJay had very good sound!
recorded on October 3, 1956 in Chicago, IL; Jimmy Reed, voc, hca, g; Eddie Taylor, g; Earl Phillips, dr
Thank you for the information!
Thanks for that background. Awesome!
Like it
You've got me on a Thorens deep dive. I am trying not to go back to vinyl/shellac but it's just sucking me in !
Glad I'm leading you back in right direction :) Don't get to hanged up on Thorens, there are plenty of other good players. I choose Thorens for 78 because it's very practical and there are plenty of spare parts.
Good Feelin'!
Jimmy Reed's singing style must have inspired Mose Allison. Their phrasing was quite similar.
With hands like that id be guessing you got your grandson to cue it up ? :) Im 62 and just really found the blues thanks to my mate SRV.
Haha, and poor sight :) Good you found the blues! Thank you for the comment!
This is great. By any chance do you know who the drummer is?
What about that tone arm ? You build it yourself ? Looks separate to the deck ...
All these Thorens an most others are built for shorter arms. Armbords are replaced to accomodate longer arms such 12”. Guess only a few American arms and some transcription arms are longer. This is a SME 3012 serie II with a replaced counterweight for SPU style cartridges that are heavy.
sme 3012 ?
Yes, 3012-II, is beeing replaced now with a better arm :)
Can I broadcast your music ? No advertising so I dont recieve any $. In it for the music only...
Yes of course! That will be fun! I don't get anything either. if any advertising money is generated it goes to copyright owner. Doing this just for fun.

15 seconds of dead air at beginning is not necessary

@@acghifiaudio-vinyland78rpm53 Also never cut off the ending as so many seem to do, is cutting off the last note done for copyright reasons?
Yeah, but it was still worth the wait
