I started collecting shellac 6 months ago. İ live in istanbul and not a long time ago when ı was in antique bazaar ı founded a very rare shellac. 

At first ı bought the shelkac because ı just liked the design but when ı went home and after ı searched about it ı was shocked. İt was a vitaphone shellac for a film from 30's that the visual tape was destroyed. 

  
The vitaphone was warner bros new thecnology at that time the audio of the film was played on gramophone and the visuals were in the tape. The tape and vitaphone was in sync so the sound was more quality. But after a big fire many of the films tapes was destroyed. Mines too. After the technology has developed there was no need to continiu using vitaphones. So they are left behind. I learned that there is a vitaphone project for collecting all vitaphone shellacs in one place. But im very far way from usa and im 17 so i cannot do international mail. İf anyone knows anything about this shellac especially please say so

I dropped the link from discogs. I uploaded there too.

Mines have turkish writing on it and only phsical copy in türkiye is only mine. 

  
These shellacs are recorded in 33 RPM not 78 

And some of them starts from indide out like the pathe shellacs.

They have a cardboard base inside shellac.



Thanks for you help, ı wish you a good day

Does anynone knows about VİTAPHONE shellacs ?
