I actually just started a singles chart here/some albums represented here. I have a couple of these I scored at an estate sale. They actually are just collections of 78s, but cool none the less. It actually makes way more sense to the term album - like a photo album... well it's a record album of 4-5 78s into a single thing. Carry on!

Might do a bit of digging this week... could be a bit of fun. Spotify and Youtube have made a lot of albums from the 40s more accessible in the past 5 years than they probably were during the actual 40s.
