Default a bit OT: Will a 78 rpm record damage a normal stylus?

Weirdly I found an old 78rpm record of Harry Gordon stuffed under a hedge

I have a conventional record deck and wondered about playing it once at 45
rpm and recording it and then speeding up the playback.

Would this work?


Provided that you have software which is up to the job, yes.

In fact, it is a common practice in professional circles to transcribe
from disc at the slowest speed possible and adjust speed later.

But... are you sure you can't find the track on Spotify or Amazon Music?
There are fifty three of his tracks available on Spotify and one on an
ordinary Amazon Prime sub (with the promise of more for an Unlimited
account).

AAMOI, what's the track?

Or rather, what are the tracks?
