Lily Sloane (of BFF.fm's Radical Advice) returned to Boy with Girl's Name Morning Mixtape to help me play old 78rpm records. That is old 78s digitized by the Internet Archive's Great 78 Project, which is an amazing community project for the preservation, research and discovery of 78rpm records. Lily and I selected a handful of the nearly 94,000 sides available in the archive. They were from around the world and varied in age from 1900 to the mid-1950s.
