Me, I love 78 RPM records, except for how fragile they are.
I had a few of them that I inherited from my parents, I say inherited but truth is no one else wanted them. (Nothing rare in amongst them though). But yeah they are very fragile and you have to handle them carefully. I think you only needed to look at them funny and they would break.
Incidentally, have you noticed how the CD sections on stores have been greatly reduced and largely replaced by (new) vinyl?
Yep! They even have a special "Record store day" for them over here now, don't know if it's a worldwide thing or not.
I can only imagine stores might've looked like that back in the '80s.
They were great places that you could spend all day in if the owner would let you. I was never out of my local one in the 70's.
