Enormous thanks for this Chappell share Greta and trkizbrki. They couldn't have come at a better time. I'm currently ploughing through all the Boosey & Hawkes 78s on the Internet Archive cleaning and editing each track. I was planning to make a start on the Chappell series after that. So hopefully this share will save me a lot of time.

Something I'm wondering, and it's a long shot that anyone would know this, but were any of these 78s used to make up CIS5014 "Comedy Music"? I have a hunch that it was compiled from very old material, in mono, of course, but I don't know its origins.

Not sure if this is the answer you were looking for but all (or most if i'm mistaken) do come from the Chappell 78s.

Thanks very much, WSBG! You're a star! Is there any chance that you could re-up & share any of  the previous batches (1 to 50) if you have them & are willing, please? :) I know it's a tall order & a lot to ask as it's a mammoth task, so I'll fully understand if you're unable to do so :)

Is anyone willing & able to re-upload previous batches 1 to 50 of this series (thread), please, for the benefit of those who missed them? I know it's a big ask as it's a mammoth task, but I'm just putting it out there, with all due respect. Thanks :)

Jonno, As I mentioned above it is probably worth you searching on Internet Archive as most of the vintage releases are available to download separately or as a torrent?

Jonno, I suspect that most members, like me, will have downloaded the batches as they became available, would have taken whichever files interested them and then deleted the original ZIP file. Unless a fellow member purposefully kept each batch's ZIP file what you are asking is for us to re-create each batch which will be an enormous task. Your best bet is to narrow your search down to specific albums you might be interested in. Bear in mind also, each of us only has a certain amount of available free storage on a download server so there is a limit to how much we can share at any one time. We're more than willing to help you but you need to keep your requests realistic.

As redwave has told you most of what was shared in these batches was sourced from the Internet Archive. I strongly recommend you go there and explore what's available. In the meantime we can drip feed you what you are after if you let us know which records/albums are of particular interest.

That is true, but there are also extra albums not from the Internet Archive such as the Audio & Ember albums

Thanks, Nido and Redwave for your suggestions. I agree, my request is somewhat unrealistic in that most members wouldn't necessarily have kept the complete batches and furthermore it would be a mammoth task to re-upload everything as it was. I appreciate the suggestions to look in the Internet Archive, but I don't have the means to restore their material with removing crackles etc, also I don't think I would find everything there, but no worries, I'll go through the lists of what was shared and pick out the libraries of interest to me and then request separately on the respective library threads of whatever is of particular interest. Thanks for your patience and thanks once again for your suggestions.
