[Dixielandjazz] LP question

[Jack Mitchell]

Jim

Those 16" transcription discs were standard radio fare up to the 
introduction of microgroove LPs, which in turn gave way to tapes. Soap 
operas, quiz shows and all kinds of music. Many people have an interest 
in them,  and thousands of jazz tracks from them have been available on 
commercial or pirate LPs and CDs. The value of them depends upon the 
content - the American wartime TXs in particular were sought after as 
they contained music otherwise unrecorded because of the Petrillo ban on 
recording. The discs you have seem to be of a holy roller - unlikely to 
interest many members of this group (the Australian chapter at least) 
but no doubt there is someone, somewhere who would like them. All you've 
got to do is find him or her.

Best wishes
Jack
