Everyday I Have the Blues- Lowell Fulson’s Combo Swing Time label
This is a classic blues song that has been covered by BB King, Eric Clapton and a myriad of other blues and rock bands. This is a 1940′sSears Silvertone Crank style Victrola record player. It’s the model that courting couples would bring on their picnics. No electricity needed! I saw this same model in an episode of M*A*S*H* when Hawkeye was examining one of those Bombshell Nurses… More 78 classic records on video coming soon.. I have the Andrews Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Jordan, Woody Herman, Guy Lombardo, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, BB King, Artie Shaw, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Les Paul w/Mary Ford, Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Lightnin’ Hopkins and lots of old Swing Era records… Stay Tuned!

What a wonderful Silvertone. I also have a portable one. It’s a bit different in design, but the tonearm and reproducer are the same. I have several videos of it on my other channel dedicated to 78 records. Thanks for sharing yours! I think it sounds great!

Thanks for the advice but one of the reasons I posted this video/audio is so others can enjoy this record EXACTLY the way it was meant to be played on the player that existed when it was new. (See Comment Below) I understand that this player wears out the records a little at a time but it is worth it to me (I own them, remember?) to sacrifice a bit of fidelity so others can enjoy them. Also, now that they are uploaded I don’t have to play them with a steel needle. I just listen to them here.

that poor record! I know it’s got vintage appeal, but honestly – get a new turntable, that needle will be destroying the grooves with every rotation. Quite a few modern turntables can do 78rpm so you shouldn’t have a problem.
