FWIW I've recently been transferring and de-clicking some Ellington 'Radio
Transcriptions' discs released on Decca London in the late 1970s. These
are
remarkably good compared with what you'd expect from commercial 78s from
the time (1946-7). Sadly, the shop only had volumes 1-4 so I didn't get
volume 5. But not bad for 3 quid a pop. :-)

You seem to have found an excellent source for
interesting music at a very reasonable price.

Do you clean the LP's before transfer?

Many shops that sell vinyl have a recording cleaning machine.
My favourite shop charges 1e (which includes a cup of
coffee whiole you wait)

Some public libraries also offer the same service (but no
coffee:-)
