Here is something interesting I found on the net today.

Deep in the bowels of EMIs music archive in Middlesex there are 150,000 old 78s, gramophone records played at 78 revolutions per minute.

The 78s come from the earliest days of recorded music, when adventurous sound engineers were dispatched to distant corners of the world to record local musicians.
