You've got to admire the enthusiasm of a site whose home-page bears the excited link: "More label pictures!". 78 rpm records were the stuff of grandparents even when I was a kid, and only the earliest of my childhood memories brings to mind ever seeing one of the waxy platters actually spin. Try taking 1000 of these on your bus to work, and see how far you get.
