I have to agree, that Bryan Wright's record releases are really great. I
also have several of his LPs, which are fun too.
Another recent 78rpm vinyl release from 2011 is by Nick Lowe with Go
'Way Hound Dog/I've changed my Wild Mind. To my knowledge, that one is
still available.
And a real great one was recorded last year by the vocal swing band The
Stolen Sweets and cut directly on disc with no master tape in between.
That record has a very authentic warm sound quality: http://bit.ly/11YrGUS

The cover I have features the nice slogan: "good enough for your
grandmother!"
I also have some of the already mentioned 78s by Kitty, Daisy & Lewis.
However, their latest ones have an artificially altered narrow-bandwith
sound, something I personally see as a big drawback. Their earlier discs
are much clearer, yet still true to their style.
