Hey - you may already know about this, but indulge me and my coffee buzz for a minute. I was surfing www.archive.org/ for some classical music that was in the public domain. I needed to use a snippet of it for a bookstore scene in a film that I’m doing the audio design for. While surfing the audio files, I stumbled across an old room filled floor to ceiling with dusty boxes of 78 rpm records, digitally captured and preserved. Check out this Glenn Miller:

This is pretty bitchin' stuff - it's like rooting around in your grandmother's attic without getting dirty! Here's the master page:
www.archive.org/details/78rpm/
There is all sorts of stuff here in the public domain: Cuban music, classical, big band era, old-time Appalachian music- the list goes on and on. I've been using http://www.archive.org/ for Grateful Dead downloads for YEARS. I can't believe that I've been ignoring this stuff for that long.....shame on me and my one track mind.
