|
carryonsidney 18th Aug 2014 | | 78 RPMThe Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group - Rock Island Line / John Henry | Just noticed Grahams comment! - answer is Yes, I believe it's something to do with the songs being traditional and therefore out of copyright?
|
carryonsidney 29th Jul 2014 | | 78 RPMThe Jungle Band - Dreamy Blues / Runnin' Wild! | A book by Mark Tucker which is online on Google books seems to suggest the american disc of this was released in January 1931 simultanesly with the "Feetwarmers" version on OKEH [Duke again] see here.
Theres no reason why an English release couldn't be close after, as you could get the acetates across in 4 days by liner in 1930.
|
carryonsidney 28th Jul 2014 | | 78 RPMDuke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra - Mood Indigo / Runnin' Wild! | I put up the Jungle Band the other day here. I have reason to believe that the Jungle Band was issued in late 1930 about the same time as this, but release dates are difficult, what isn't, though, is the recording dates. It transpires this was recorded one day before the other. There is a very good webpage detailing the sessions here.
So therefore, this record is not a straight reissue as it is a different take.

carryonsidney 26th Jul 2014 | | 78 RPMWalt Disney's Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs - Dwarfs' Yodel Song / Someday My Prince Will Come | I'm missing one part of the triptych cover.

carryonsidney 18th Dec 2013 | | 78 RPMWalt Disney's Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs - With A Smile And A Song / Dig-A-Dig-Dig | I saw 2 of these today and took a chance not realising there would be three 78's in the set. The 2 I got [515/516] have a blue paper picture sleeve each which would have been joined together in a triptych* book fashion. Lovely labels.

carryonsidney 11th Nov 2013 | | 78 RPMHumphrey Lyttelton - Melancholy Blues / The Thin Red Line | From Humph's own website - you see here a flyer advertising all 5 releases. http://www.humphreylyttelton.com/first-recordings/
|
carryonsidney 9th Nov 2013 | | 78 RPMHumphrey Lyttelton - Melancholy Blues / The Thin Red Line | I will make a note to find this disc and scan it, its obvious from labels that this is an "indie" record!
Also please note it wasn't the only release either, HL issued about 6/7 78's maybe more, before he was signed to Parlophone.
|
carryonsidney 31st Oct 2013 | | 78 RPMFreddie Bell And The Bell Boys - Giddy-Up-A Ding Dong / I Said It And I'm Glad | a couple of other tracks [also on ep] appeared on this sometime in 1956 on this 10" album. I get the feeling that somebody at Mercury would have been kicking themselves for not moving into 45's while the RnR scene was booming!?
|
carryonsidney 30th Oct 2013 | | 78 RPMFreddie Bell And The Bell Boys - Giddy-Up-A Ding Dong / I Said It And I'm Glad | A quick look on 45cat shows no UK Mercury 45's before November 1957- so no is the answer probably?
|
