OMG!
Talk about luck ... we found two Decca 10" Django Reinhardt LPs in a used record store this week for ten-bucks each. They both feature Reinhardt on guitar of course, and Stephane Grappelly on violin.
The vinyl and covers are in mint condition. They are french pressings recorded in 1938, the year of my birth. The sound, considering the era, is excellent ... and talk about some swingin' jazz ...! Some real toe tapping music. Wow.
I'm going to burn both of them onto a CD and archive the records. They are way too nice to have an accident with. :-)
And by the way, another unabashed compliment for the way the Audio Technica ART-9 plays mono records. I thought the OC-9III was great on mono, but the ART-9 really raises the stakes. If you're thinking about buying a high dollar mono cartridge, I'd consider the ART-9 instead and keep a lot of bucks in your pocket.
