RAREST OF THE RARE A-B
Episode 142026
Sunday, 4 January, 2026
In 1967 pioneer collector, writer and researcher PETE WHELAN began his legendary "78 QUARTERLY" magazine- a journal dedicated to the Blues, Jazz, and Gospel music, musicians and RECORDS of the 1920s-early 30s... The magazine went on into the 1990s with a near 20 year gap between volumes 2 and 3! - One of it's regular columns was called THE RAREST OF THE RARE where a survey was held within the record collecting community of what everyone then considered to be the" rarer than hen's teeth" 78s - We are re-visiting that imperfect though fun research this year with a monthly show dedicated to "The Rarest Of The Rare" Blues, Gospel Jazz and ( some) Country 78s! This episode is part 1 of letters A-B!
