Genres more likely to have value will include early jazz, blues and hillbilly music from the 1925-35 era, very early operatic and classical records produced overseas, and special types of records such as picture discs, rare labels, early 7" records and other uncommon categories. Generally speaking, most records in the following categories have little value: big band, popular songs (including Bing Crosby), ethnic recordings, classical, opera (including Caruso), post-war country, sacred selections and album sets. Records were pressed by the bazillions, and there are many more records in existence than there are collectors seeking them. This is because the great majority of vintage records (like coins, stamps, postcards, comic books and other collectibles) are very common. To be truthful, unless you are a serious collector or have inherited an important collection, most of your records probably have little if any value. These recordings should not be confused with piano rolls, which are made of rolled paper punched with small holes. Most cylinders are about the size of a toilet paper tube, and are usually colored black or blue. Vintage phono cylinders were made from around 1890 to 1929, and came in several different sizes. We DO NOT deal in microgroove recordings. Most non-vintage records were made from vinyl. Formats include 7" 45 rpm discs with oversized spindle holes, 10" and 12" long plays (LPs, aka "albums"), extended plays (EPs) and others. They are commonly referred to as micro-groove records, and play at 45 or 33.3 rpm. Non-vintage disc records were made from 1949 to the present. Most vintage disc records were made from a shellac-based material, though vinyl discs began to appear in the post WW II era. (Edison Diamond Disc records play at 80.) Other vintage disc records include radio transcriptions (78 or 33 rpm, often 16" in diameter), movie soundtrack discs (33 rpm, 16") and Victor Program Transcriptions (10" & 12", 33 rpm). However, the 78 speed was not fully standardized until the early 1930s prior to this time, playing speeds ranged anywhere from around 60 to 130 rpm! Most of the pre-1925 records one encounters today will play properly at speeds ranging from 72-82 rpm. Most commonly, however, vintage disc records are referred to as ā78sā, referring to the speed of 78 revolutions per minute (rpm). In some countries they are referred to as coarse-groove or short play (SP) records. Vintage discs were made roughly from 1890 to 1960. Among the nine albums he recorded between 19 was 'No Way!' - an LP that is much-coveted by crate diggers, and now reissued by VMP.Vintage records fall into two categories: disc and cylinder. Though not as well-known as Jimmy Smith and Stanley Turrentine, a bespectacled guitar player named Boogaloo Joe Jones also made his mark as an exponent of soul jazz. As some jazz musicians were pondering how they could compete with the relentless rise of pop, Motown and rock ānā roll acts, others - the avant-garde players - were seeking to take the music into another dimension altogether, where freedom of artistic expression overruled all commercial considerations. Not only was it battling to keep its existing audience, it was also a genre seemingly at war with itself. "In the early 1960s, jazz was facing an existential crisis. It's here on AAA 180g black audiophile vinyl, plated at RTI and pressed at GZ with lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Ryan Smith of Sterling Sound.
