When I think of the most obsessively fanatical collectors that populate our planet, I have to give the prize to record collectors. Even well beyond folks that seek out rare comic books, watches, autographs or toys, it is the passion of music enthusiasts seeking out that rare vinyl LP, forgotten release, or long thought lost recording, that can turn many an individual into a deviously sneaky, frothing at the mouth, crazed addict.
As evidenced by this past weekend's annual holiday for the record collecting fan, Record Store Day, turnouts around the world were huge, as independent music shops celebrated what has become thier biggest retail day of the year.
Folks swarmed shops everywhere in an attempt to purchase the many exclusive limited edition vinyl titles that record labels the world over released on this special day.
Music fans are still crazy for vinyl, and the demand for LP's and singles is increasing by the year.
Some things never change.

While these days it is often about numbered editions on colored heavyweight pressings, reaching back past the era when 33 & 1/3 vinyl LP's and 45 rpm. 7" singles became the norm as formats, there was the mighty 78 rpm record that ruled the marketplace.
Collectors of this format often include those looking for recordings from around the world, early jazz sides or as with the case of these two fine compilation collections—American folk, country and blues from the 1920's and 1930's.
Yazoo Records has been in the business of primarily reissuing many of these rare 78 rpm records since the late '60s.
