- In the second installment of Off the Record Presents, we make the record-collector's version of the pilgrimage to Mecca vis-à-vis Joe Bussard's wonderful basement! Owner of one of the finest collections of prewar country, blues, and jazz records in the world, the late Mr. Bussard was one of the most famed and accessible names in the 78rpm world for generations.
He made me appreciate the music on 78’s more than ever before? His collection was second too none. Not even the US National archives has, what he had. Miss you Joe Bussard. 1936-2022.
May he be blessed with all the needles, cartridges, playback systems and records in the world.
Rest in peace joe! He was an inspiration to all 78 collectors, Jazz or country.
Those damn Everly Brothers! Oh my God. RIP Joe.
Fantastic. Made my way here after reading a New York Times obit on him. RIP Joe.
RIP, Joe; you were an inspiration to all of us and a wonderful soul.
Joe is my version of an American music historian. He is amazing and beyond his years by far.
RIP Joe, you inspired so many of us to keep and enjoy those old records that the family wanted us to toss out.
somewhere in Joe's tape archive of home recordings is a tape of me and my best friend before he passed doing old time duets. Rip Jan Rogalski and Joe Bussard
Farewell, Joe ! Off to that great big record room in the sky. Thanks for all that you taught us.
His name is on many, many of my CDs as the source for 78s - truly a great collector and historian
Joe Bussard a national treasure the man who saved an era of music that would have been lost in time like tear drops in the rain he deserves a major award of recognition.
He certainly does! I always cherish my visits with him.

@@JackShellac do u have the contact information of joe bussard
Really enjoyed this film. Greetings from a collector in europe
Thanks for including the music credits at the end.
Great video. Joe Bussard is an unsung hero.
Thanks for this! As a fellow 78 collector, Joe has always fascinated me. I'd gladly watch any outtakes you have from this.
If you'd like to edit them together for me, that'd be great! There's hours of unused stuff XD
I’d like to see it all. Joe is my hero
@@JackShellac Did anything ever come of that idea?
TheMadkitties1 do you have the contact info of that 78s dude. I’d like to interview him
If joe is putting on music I don't have to worry or leave hehe
Blinking hell, came upon this by chance.
What a fantastic collection of 78s, I'm not jealous ☹️
"That's when I stained my underwear" - the reaction to the ultimate find.
Long Live, Joseph 'Joe' Bussard!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
This video has made me really smile, it's great to see people who are really enthusiastic about great music!!
I hope I'm not too enthusiastic! But then I suppose old music is a good thing to get over-hyped about!
@@JackShellac r u still in contact with joe?
Fantastic job. Spent a day in Joe's basement about 15 years ago. He's every bit as amazing and rare and fun to listen to as his 78's.
I agree! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
TheMadkitties1 do u have his email. I’d like to interview him
Good times!!
Nice video, bud.
What was the jazz 78 he played right after the "how many biscuits?" song? Duke?
Got it! "Beggar's Blues" by Duke
It's fascinating that's there's young and old people that like those shellac records still. I don't have the proper equipment to play them.
mercurialmagictrees they make em now. Crowley makes some.
You stepped on a Robert Johnson!!!!
I love everything about Joe Bussard. But I am dying. I need to know the Brand and Model of that speaker he uses. It's great!
It's an Altec Lansing made in the 1960's. I believe the model is called a Laguna.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks man!
Just wonderful
An Awesome video, love this style of music, and thy sound so great on a good 78rpm player.
Awesome video !
Thanks man!
Where does one get that Gennett Records Trucker Hat? I would love to have one like that.
I’ve been trying to figure out the same thing. do you have any leads?
I believe they were made by Texas musician Will Webster.
Have always wanted to meet him, but he lives very far from me. Haha.
has joe got any recent videos out
Fabulous
Awesome video - when is the next one coming out?
Hopefully will be filming the next one later this month. One after that in August. When they get finished, who knows?!
What happend to his collection ?
I can’t find the whole movie they made ?
Anyone have a link to it ? Or website?
Can anyone tell me what that rollicking little number is that he plays around 7 mins into this video?

@@PM12951 - Thanks, you got the right tune, but - that is NOT the VERSION which Joe plays on that video.
@@ausfan100 it's "Now Goofy Dust" by Moten's band on Victor. Second version they did; first was on OKeh. Both are great.
@@jacksongarrison8684 - YES YES! Thanks Garrison. You are spot on! I read elsewhere that someone at Victor got the title wrong on the record label. It should have read "NEW Goofy Dust" not "NOW".
What turntable is he using at 9:00
I think it's a Technics SP-15, or something similar, with a custom tonearm.
What was the fate of this collection? Is it still intact?
They're being auctioned off on JoesVintage78s
They are being auctioned by his family at joesvintage78.com
When he said (in another video) that rock'n roll destroyed music, I was done with this guy. Just an old man yelling at the clouds.
He was very firm in his beliefs, that's for sure.
