I Lost My Gal Again / Rosalita

Comment must not exceed 1000 characters

A very, VERY choice find!

Last week I came across a rare flexible celluloid record [Filmophone Label] during my semi-nightly shellac cataloguing project.

This 92 year old record is *quite* susceptible to the elements. Under humid conditions it tends to absorb atmospheric water, curl and lose audio fidelity.

I digitized both sides at 45rpm; w/ a Shure 78MS @ 0.5 g (very light tracking!). Using Audacity, I sped it up it up to 78.

This is the raw file; no 'sweetening.'
