I got these 78s off my mum this week . I used to listen to them as a kid. The only one I haven't heard is The Show Boat Album which looks unused. There is Little Toot " lost in the Fog, Henery Chicken Hawk ( foghorn leghorn) , Tweety and Sylvester, The three orphan kittens , Jerry Lewis and many more.         |

I make a habit of listening to one of these every night now. The sound can be so clear. |

By the time these 78s were cut, technology had improved a lot so there's no reason for them not to sound modern, except for the surface hiss and crackle inherent in all 78s. But that content is probably compressed and recorded close to 100% so you don't notice the background noise as much. |
