it depends on what records they are and on the condition of them . there are some that are very valuable like his 5 Suns and his early 78 records can fetch up to $100 or more depending on which ones. most of the records people have are not worth a lot . not nearly as much as some people think. but there are those hidden gems. so happy hunting.
Elvis' Golden Records was an album (LP), and therefore does not exist as a 78. It was a compilation album of those 78s.
Values vary. Use eBay or a price guide like Presleyana VII (for USA releases) to determine realized value and book values.
The most common ones, the 10" records, plays 3 minutes, but there are slight differences between records. *************** Yep! 12-inch a little over 4 minutes. Now before the 78 speed was standard and the sizes of the records were standardized it was all over the place. There were all kinds of experiments in speed and record size to get more time on a record. But by the late teens and around 1920 the 78 speed and 10-inch or 12-inch records was standard.
Big Band 78's are not worth that much because they are very common, especially if they're from the 1940's. There are exceptions, of course. Picture discs and autographed copies may be worth something. Rock & Roll and R & B from the 1950's have value depending on the label. Early Rock & Roll records that are "For Radio Play Only" are HOT.
The value of a album depends on the condition of the album and the particular album, as well as other factors. Old Al Jolson albums are generally valued at $5.00 to $63.00.
Probably not much, since all of his material has been transcribed to cd, which has MUCH better sound than any 78 recording. LPs sound good. 78s never did, not even in the best condition. But good luck trying to sell it, anyway:)
The version on vinyl, or a record (the LP at 33.3 RPM). I remember when there were 45 RPM records, usually just 1 song each side, and LP records or albums, which had the Long Playing version of songs, with, sometimes, repeated choruses, etc...Earlier vinyl records had 78 RPM records also.
