gallery: Heads

We’ve been digitizing tens-of-thousands of 78s with our partners at the Internet Archive and started to notice a few early vanity labels showing up, in the days before picture sleeves. One approach to letting you know exactly who you’re listening to was to picture the floating head of the performer. Well usually. Some other variations, but heads are heads, so here’s a veritable guillotine gallery of our favorite faces!
