I have a number of these and they sound very good. For what was issued,
including recording dates, check out:

Also, a contemporary UK group, Kitty Daisy and Lewis, issued in 2008 a
10-inch vinyl microgroove 78-rpm album (in addition to LP and CD releases):

Big bucks all the way from the UK, and a bit gritty sounding at times, but
fun!
The blog on the Kitty Daisy and Lewis MySpace page
(www.myspace.com/kittydaisyandlewis) dated July 18, 2008, contains some comments by young Lewis on
the history of recorded sound and how they made the recordings in their
album.
