If you do,  could you do the remastering of his early recording yourself?  Some sound clips you did sound very good.

Now I do not have nowadays any 78s. About remastering myself – it is complicated. To get good “in paper” condition 78 is not too complicated - it is just time and money. To remaster the 78s to a good raw digital file is not a problem but it is also time and money, in fact a LOT of time if a good result requires.  So, after investing into the 78 setup and infrastructure, learning the art of 78s playback, paying for good records and spending countless hours of getting the best result of the recording – what will I be left with besides 4 min digital file that I know by hard anyhow?

There is in my view a certain misbalance between effort and gratification. In order to rectify the situation financially and ego-wise the remastered recording should be marketed and sold, but it is exactly the direction that I have absolutely no interest in. I prefer somebody else do the remastering well and I would just buy it. Not to mention that instead of a week of experimenting with 78s and months of records hunting I would listen 543 broadcasts on my FM radio…
