Show us your big Ten-Inch...

... records. Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Favorite of today's GW finds, this 1949 Columbia release:

Nice find!

I love Benny Goodman and Peggy Lee. I'm sure that record is a winner.

Ten inchers? Where to begin? Here's a few 78s:

Ooh, I'll play! Here are a few of mine...a mix of blues, jazz, rock and punk.

One of my favourties is this oddly shaped Squeeze EP.

A French pressing a live Ray Charles concert.

I think I just got the US version of this at a thrift last week. Great record. It's called "Ray Charles, In Person"

The coolest 10" I own has to be this Robert Johnson test pressing. Don't think it made it to the public back in the day, as he talks nasty on it.

FANTASTIC. That's a killer live album too. It was recorded by an Atlanta disc jockey with one microphone pointed at the stage. When Jerry Wexler heard the tape, he flipped and knew he had to release it.

I only have one, but it is literally "A Big Ten Inch Record"

The ORIGINAL:

The original version was the inspiration for the thread title. It's quite fun. Can't say I've heard the Aerosmith version.

Some of Jackson's later risqué material, including "Big Ten Inch Record" (later covered by Aerosmith on Toys in the Attic) and "Nosey Joe" (written by Leiber and Stoller), both from 1952, were too suggestive for airplay, but remained popular.

I never knew Aerosmith's version was cover. As the saying goes, you learn something new every day.

I have a few 10 inchers. a couple of my favorites are an Edith Piaf microgroove and a neat colored one be a great band called schlong... yes they called themselves schlong. great SF based punk from the 90's. also have an odd 8" record and an even stranger 5" record. the 5" record is pretty weird, it cant be played on an automatic turntable , or one with auto return function because the auto return will kick in before you can place the needle on the record. never seen another one.

[beatcomber]

I have that one too, but without the picture frame cover.

Love this thread! Ten inch discs are still going strong, I'm happy to report. Nashville Record Pressing still makes them...and Erika Records will still make 10" picture discs (at least last time I saw their catalog). Anyway, here are two curios I picked up last month. Haven't played either one because my 78 stylus is in need of replacement. How could you pass this stuff up?
