I would like to start the process of cataloging in a professional way in an Excel spreadsheet and was wondering if one of the experts on this site had one, or could tell me what fields I should have in the spreadsheet to do it right. I would like to take my time over many months, perhaps years and put every field of data a professional from the music industry would appreciate.

As to dressing myself up, I prefer to wear some jewellries that can match that day's clothing and event. I've to admit that I have several jewellries during my box. I'm keen on collecting different jewelries for example necklaces, bracelets, charms and so on. Normally, a number of them I bought at the quite higher charges as a result of their well-known brand as well as the high qualitirs. Some of these I bought at the very low cost but hold the very poor qualities. I'm so irritated that in which I can purchase the less costly but large top quality products until I uncover the net store: Thomas Sabo Jewellery.<br /> I have recognized that Thomas Sabo Jewellery are incredibly famous on earth. Also as, everyone knows that their rates also are extremely higher. So l seldom acquire these kinds of jewellry for my personal. I simply get them for my expensive friends and people. Now, I get them for my own within the Thomas Sabo Jewelry. I obtain the Thomas Sabo Charms which all are with the acceptable prices. I am so stunned that I find that you will find countless types of <a href="http://www.pandoraustralia.net/pandora-bracelets"><strong>pandora bracelet</strong></a> there. All are created so beautiful that I really like them a great deal. I cannot aid myself getting a lot of Thomas Sabo Charms from this website: <a href="http://www.fashionthomassabo.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.fashionthomassabo.com</a>. Now my collection box is filled with many diverse types of Thomas Sabo Charms. Numerous pals of mine surprise why I buy so many charms, "Are you crazy?" Hehe, really, I'm not crazy.<br /> These charms I acquire are all created with organic crystal, real, silver, pearl or pther chosen resources. All make sure they are the genuine items. Nobody can assume that they are well worth buying much. I feel that this kind of jewellry will make a girl shine like a princess at any situations we take part in.In my collection box, the one particular I love considerably may be the <a href="http://www.pandoraustralia.net/pandora-earrings"><strong>pandora earrings</strong></a> 18 Allure. I love the exclusive layout that it has a modest, movable clover leaf. It is just a lucky charm that can current the youthful individuals coming from the age. Plainly I am eternally youthful at this age when donning this Thomas Sabo Charms. </p> https://gracyk.com/forum/topic.php?id=159#post-204 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:06:26 +0000 puttyutty 204@https://gracyk.com/forum/ <p>I have 3 or so boxes of Decca 78's that were an inheritance.

I have had these in my closet since 1996 when My mother passed away. I also have a desk that my grandparents converted from a Thomas Edison Phonograph Cabinet( they removed the speakers and made drawers and shortened the legs) all these disks have been stored wrapped in news paper.<br /> Not sure how to proceed but I am trying to let go of some of my past and keeping these all these years seem too much and its time. </p> https://gracyk.com/forum/topic.php?id=152#post-195 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:38:20 +0000 Rocco 195@https://gracyk.com/forum/ <p>Hi People I need some Advise,<br /> When I purchased my 1915 Sonora phonograph the only thing wrong was that the hand CRANK was broken...

She is trying to find any information about it.<br /> She has sent me a picture, but I don't belive that I can post a picture on this forum.<br /> It is a portable player in a 13X13 inch covered case. The unique feature of this player, is that there is not a tone arm mounted on the base of the machine.<br /> Rather the speaker and reproducer are mounted in the lid of the player. When the lid is lowered, the needle contacts the record and the reproducer works its way straight across the record, tracking perfectly to play the sound. The volume is controlled by a metal plate that covers or opens the speaker opening in the lid of the player.<br /> My e-mail is <a href="mailto:hflier@comcast.net">hflier@comcast.net</a><br /> I would be happy to send a picture to anyone who wants one for better identification of the player and also possible potential value of the player. </p> https://gracyk.com/forum/topic.php?id=139#post-180 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:10:02 +0000 kristin brester 180@https://gracyk.com/forum/ <p>We are wondering about the value of a record collection:<br /> We have several burgandy bound record holder books with a gold RCA logo with the RCA dog and a gramaphone.

I've looked through a fair amount of the literature on recording companies (histories, discographies, etc.), but so far I've been unable to locate any information on exactly how recordings of American artists were making their way to locations outside the U.S. Were master discs (recorded in the US) shipped to local pressing plants (e.g., the "Dum Dum" plant in Calcutta) and sold through local distributors and stores?
