@ksteiger I actually like the way things sounded much better back then. You can hear everything. Now the bass is really buried in a lot of newer recordings. It's there, but notes are not always clear, which almost makes it a waste for me. The person could be playing the best bass line but if you can't make it out, what good it? Once they started using magnetic tape, it was a game changer. I almost think it's harder if you start with digital in the recording process.
@@GeneSavage if anything, even those would've been fine were it not for the red hot mixing and mastering of the time. these records, compared to older 78 rpm, are twice as loud, and half of their frequency response is made of biting distortion from how massive the sound is.
February 24, 1958 - 65 Years Ago Today: The Champs debuted at No. 67 on the Billboard Best Sellers Chart with their single, "Tequila." it earned the Triple Crown Award when it topped all three Billboard Pop Charts in existence at the time. It began a 5-week run at No. 1 on the Best Sellers Chart on March 17, 1958. The million-seller also topped the Billboard Top 100 Chart for 5 weeks and the Jockeys Chart for 2 weeks.
I think I first heard this song in the mid 70s in the background of early Happy Days episodes but these days when I watch the reruns I never seem to hear it anymore. They must have had copyright problems & forced to remove it.
Ok now Im confused. The pitch at the beginning of the song is higher than at the very end. Now I have to find out how this could have happened in the cutting process.
The fidelity of 50's 78's was superior to 45's. The problem was that most 78's were pressed in shellac and 45's in vinyl. I have several songs on both 78 and 45 vinyl. The 78's are superior in fidelity especially bass wise.
Indeed. Having a few in my record collection, 1950s-era 78s pressed using vinyl (usually stating "nonbreakable" on the label) seem to have really good audio quality, much better than 45 or even a 33 rpm vinyl LP. Alongside these 78s, there were also the white-labeled promo versions of 78s from the major labels from the late 40s and onward mailed to radio stations that were also vinyl (so they could hold up to the rigors of being banged around in the mail without arriving in pieces, usually the retail versions of those records were pressed in shellac instead). Not to forget the "V-Discs" sent to soldiers in WWII, probably some of the first 78s ever to be pressed in vinyl for the same reasons of durability as the promo 78s were.
Same for high speed tape running beyond 30 IPS there was some 45 ips running machine but even as a pro recorder they rare . 45 RPM on a regular LP microgroove was good enough i have some album and single in the maxi 45 RPM format 78 RPM was great but also to short for song beyond 3 min 50 ...

Love the sight of the "Dust Bug" item in action cleaning the disc. Brings back the Hi-Fi memories!!
Incredible dynamics
I can actually hear the guitar picking very clearly on this, which I've never heard. Sounds great.
Glad to hear it!
The nice thing about this era is that audio technology had gotten really good.

Hard to believe they were getting this kind of fidelity from a 78 RPM record... wow! So little hiss, and great high frequency response.
Considering the rotation speed, having good high frequency response is no surprise at all…
@@robertlancaster8190 ...have you HEARD most 78s? It's not the rotation that was the problem; it was the microphones and amps.

Holy cow! I've never seen this on 78.
I have a lot of music you'd never believe would be on a 78 ;)
the hardest song at any karaoke bar
Makes you want to put on ridiculous shoes and dance on the bartop!
You'd be surprised. That's great though!
That sounds so good and clear on 78 rpm , never tire of 50 & 60's rock n roll
On some CDs does it sound like AM broadcasting in Europe.
Always love to see a label you’ve never seen on 78
All this time I thought it was a 60's song, but still good.
Great sound for a great song!
Wow, I wasn’t expecting such high sound quality from a 78… It made my boombox sounds like a million bucks… That must be a top-notch turntable🎸👍
This is such an early rock JAM! I love this song. It's also the only song I can do Karaoke to. LOL.

Wow! As a child in the 1960's, I played lots of "old scratchy" vintage 78's. To hear this rendition here is surreal! Nice

Love that bass line.
Such a great jiver
Sounds great
Excellent!!!!!!!!!! The quality is perfect!!!! Thanks 🙏
I have this as an indian pressing.
Здорово звучит!
Tequila. AKA that one instrumental that everyone knows. One of those songs in the Ozone
It seems to be everywhere!
For good reason, it's a great (mostly) instrumental track.
The only song I'll karaoke to.
A great jiver
Completely forgot I first heard of this song in the Pee Wee movie. Ive been playing a original 45 pressing for years, love this jam
one of ma favourite songs!
Ok now Im confused. The pitch at the beginning of the song is higher than at the very end. Now I have to find out how this could have happened in the cutting process.
Excellent Clarity.
❤
They also had a song which is pretty cool called "Too Much Tequila." I have the 45.
Great!

Great video! I love this song!
How does this sound so good? Is this pressed in vinyl?
👍🏻
Just wondered what stylus do you use on that deck for 78s? As I've got the same deck but can't play mine with the stylus that came with it.
Thanks.
I thought everyone was playing 45s by then.
Nope. Not everyone could afford to change their equipment, especially in the UK. And, believe it or not, 78s sound BETTER than 45s!
Your cartridge looks wonky.

some 78 recs sound better than the 45,s and cd,s yeah it,s a fact.
This is a vinyl 78, right?
Shellac!
What, if the karaoke music has no melody line?
I hope that you used the proper stylus to play this record because a LP stylus will be destroyed by the shallac surface wich is very abrasive.
Always!
Is this 78 pressed on vinyl?
What 78 cartridge is that?
Two Needles?
The one on the left is probably an anti static brush; it’s the one on the right that’s actually picking up the sound.
Comment un 78 tours peut-il être lu sur une platine de chaine hi fi
I can do it.and Wipeout with the intro stick.
faut-il une aiguille spéciale et existe-t-il des microsillons en 78 tours
