Sunday, 1 March, 2026
Part 3 of our continuing monthly series! - The infamous rare 78 collector magazine Pete Whelan's "78 QUARTERLY" published a beloved column in each of it's 12 issues titled THE RAREST OF THE RARE - collectors were asked to submit the records they felt qualified and everyone offered their opinions as to how many copies of the record might be out there - clearly a collector's "boys club" opinion page but informative still used today by certain dealers as a reference guide or barometer to a record's rarity. - The focus was COUNTRY BLUES, SKIFFLE, PIANO, and JAZZ records from the 1920s-early 30s - So, we are revisiting this column some 20 years after the last issue of 78 Quarterly was published with a monthly edition of AMERICAN GROOVES devoted to those alleged rarities! The first episode of American Grooves each month we will hit the letters covered by each issue of 78 QUARTERLY - this is our second show and covers E, F & G! - 78s by Gillmore Sisters, Eddie & Sugar Lous' Hotel Tyler Orch, Joe Evans, Eli Framer, John Estes and Duke Ellingtons' Washingtonians , are among the rarities played!
