I haven't had the chance to flip a whole lot from them and some I wont... for example if there is religious stuff on them I wont flip it because it might offend people if I use it in a way they might feel is not cool etc...
anyways, all i have to say is... 78's..... not many people have em. some hip hop heads do but not many and not many have flipped stuff from them because of the genres of music that existed back in those days when they were pressed.
also, a lot of people talk about digging in 70's music... keep in mind that 70's was the 70's here, and totally different in other parts of the world mainly europe where people might have been able to afford to buy a record or two (forget somalia etc since they probably didn't buy records so probably didn't press much over there)
1970s is usually dug for the audio recording techniques that produced the sound. So... some of the technology didn't hit other cultures until later. For instance, India had its music renaissance in the 80s that was much like the US and UKs 70s. So if you dig Indian music you dig 80s for a certain sound....
