How should I clean an Acetate 78? I've got a Dutch Acetate 78 (copper maybe, has a reddish sheen with a black layer on top) that was made in the early to mid 50s in a semi-professional recording studio. I think a lot of the surface noise is caused by it being rather dirty... I don't want to risk damaging the coating so I figured I'd ask before trying anything stupid...
Here is the link to the song being played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL_xnJ-dcIs
I have already posted this song to r/lostmedia, and it got quite a bit of traction over there. I was hoping there were others on this sub who are interested in the search for the lost song.
This is a repost from about 4 years ago that was never resolved. Maybe 2022 will bring me some luck in finding it?
As many of you know, beloved children's poet & author Shel Silverstein was also a very prolific songwriter. He released eight full length records in his lifetime, and wrote countless hit songs for Johnny Cash ("A Boy Named Sue"), Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show ("On The Cover of The Rolling Stone"), Waylon Jennings, Gordon Lightfoot, Bobby Bare, Tompall Glaser, and more.
I read a biography on Silverstein many years ago, and it mentioned that there are likely a lot recordings, drawings, and poems by Shel that were either lost with time or remain unreleased in the Silverstein vault.
As a huge fan, that really intrigued me.
The book also made mention of a studio session that he did around 1970, in which he sat down with an acoustic guitar and cut an entire albums worth of adult-themed demos, with songs titles like "I Love My Right Hand," "I Am Not A Fag," "Mac the Necrophiliac," and "Fuck 'Em."
Supposedly, A&M record bosses Herb Alpert & Jerry Moss were so offended by the lyrics that they refused to release the album and dropped Silverstein from the label altogether.
The session came to be known as the "Fuck' Em Sessions," and the book mentioned that the album could be tracked down in certain bootleg circles.
I became mildly obsessed with finding it, and after sending countless emails to fans, scouring Google, and begging in bootleg forums, I FOUND IT. A fellow fan was incredibly kind and volunteered to send me a copy of a CDr that he bought years ago on eBay. Thanks to the kindness of that anonymous internet stranger, many people have now heard this album, and you can easily find the songs on youtube with a little searching.
Here's where things get weird.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Did anyone else find the audio quality on this song not only bad, but painful on the ears? How did they allow this to be released? Sad too because the song is so beautiful.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
The doctor says it terminal.
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

And boy are my arms legs.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
