DeweyGill SUBS 6 hours ago		78 RPM Hoosier Hot Shots - Sentimental Gentleman From Georgia / Farmer Gray	Cropped and enlarged han enderman’s image
DeweyGill SUBS 18 hours ago		78 RPM Bob Mason And His Swingbillies - Those Three Little Words / Who's Right, Who's Wrong	Billboard review September 16, 1950
DeweyGill SUBS 22 hours ago		78 RPM Hoosier Hot Shots - Sentimental Gentleman From Georgia / Farmer Gray	I’ve always had a curious relationship with this group. I’ve never been able to jump on board completely, but there is some attractive element in this country novelty group. They occasionally show that they could actually play jazz, and their early sides have a disparate quality of part hot and part corn. They are entertaining certainly, but the slide whistle and slap tongue clarinet keeps them from being taken at all seriously. Hezzie’s washboard is a contraption to marvel, with its accumulated add-ons of bulb horns, tiny cymbals and other noise makers. (it now resides in an Indiana museum). Their early sides are certainly the most engaging musically, this one no exception. This could be accurately described as “hot corn” Okay Hezzie?
DeweyGill SUBS 29th Jun 2024		78 RPM Johnny Durham - Little Did I Dream / What's Wrong With My Heart	On the “western” side of Country/Western . Two of 8 sides Durham cut for Cormac in May 1950. By the time of this release in late 1950, he had been made music director at the label.
DeweyGill SUBS 29th Jun 2024		78 RPM Louis Armstrong And His Hot Five - Hotter Than That / Savoy Blues	Added black label variant
DeweyGill SUBS 29th Jun 2024		78 RPM Lester McFarland And Robert A. Gardner - The Bright Sherman Valley / The East Bound Train	Added centered and better cropped images [Mod. comment. Moved up.]
DeweyGill SUBS 28th Jun 2024		78 RPM Walter Wiggins Orchestra - Deep In The Arms Of Love / Somebody Mighty Like You	While Brian Rust in ADBD credits the addition of a Marimba or Xylophone on the Lanin session, there is none to be heard. However, the Wirges A side does feature one prominently, not listed in the session details in the same book. This is likely one of the Green Brothers.
DeweyGill SUBS 28th Jun 2024		78 RPM Checker Box Boys - You're The Cream Of My Coffee / I Never Knew How I Cared For You	Very nice arrangement of Cream Of My Coffee and a well balanced recording
DeweyGill SUBS 28th Jun 2024		78 RPM Ben Alley - Call Me Darling (Call Me Sweetheat, Call Me Dear) / Cuban Love Song	Added earlier labels
DeweyGill SUBS 28th Jun 2024		78 RPM Irving Kaufman - There's A Trick In Pickin' A Chick	Some ok guitar pickin’ on side A. Ed Lang? The flip laments the over saturation of “Crazy Words, Crazy Tunes”. This song, and “The Stein Song” were no doubt an annoyance to some in this era of phono records.
DeweyGill SUBS 27th Jun 2024		78 RPM Gus Van - Mindin' My Bus'ness / Promise Me Everything Never Get Anything Blues	Budd’s Music Shop was located in what is now the historic Atrium Building. In 1924, it was, like many music shops, next to the primary tenant, the Strand Theatre. As the “talkies” made their introduction in the late 1920’s, music shops reaped the benefits of patrons wanting sheet music and records from the show or movie they just saw. In Milwaukee, my hometown, I’ve found many record shops were located next to theaters and stayed open late to catch the customers. Sometimes the music store and theater had the same owner
DeweyGill SUBS 27th Jun 2024		78 RPM Gus Van - Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On / When Yuba Plays The Rumba On The Tuba	Gus Van continues as a solo after his longtime vaudeville partner Joe Schenck died of heart failure in June 1930. (Only 39) Gus uses his dialectician skills on the top side.
DeweyGill SUBS 27th Jun 2024		78 RPM Fred Astaire With Johnny Green - They All Laughed / Slap That Bass	I just came back to ask for a correction. I knew better. Thanks. Gotta stop doing this late at night
DeweyGill SUBS 26th Jun 2024		78 RPM Mae West - I Like A Guy What Takes His Time / Easy Rider (I Wonder Where My Easy Rider Has Gone)	Decent jazz backing by a Victor Young group including Manny Klein or Sterling Bose, possibly both Dorseys and Joe Venuti
DeweyGill SUBS 26th Jun 2024		78 RPM Billie Holiday - What Is This Thing Called Love? / Don't Explain	@ Mike Gann-Not sure how I missed it. It was getting quite late… Juke Jules’ comments from wikipedia are quite interesting. When I played the B side originally, the lyrics seemed so personal, I had to stop the record to see if she had a hand in the lyrics. What a sad tale of the state of her relationship and the acceptance of the unhappiness that would characterize her life. The song seems to have touched many an artist judging on the amount of remakes of the song.
DeweyGill SUBS 26th Jun 2024		78 RPM Marion Castello - O Sole Mio / Sleep Baby, Sleep	Ahh. Explains it. Didn’t see the Operaphone listing, I know Empire used them. My knowledge on acoustic recordings isn’t that great. DAHR won’t let me access them for some glitch in my phone it seems.
DeweyGill SUBS 26th Jun 2024		78 RPM Marion Castello - O Sole Mio / Sleep Baby, Sleep	Thought this might be an Emerson matrix, but that number seems to be assigned to the Six Brown Brothers. If this matrix is Emerson, this would date to March or April 1920
DeweyGill SUBS 26th Jun 2024		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Hi Mister! / This Song Is For The Birds	Images added
DeweyGill SUBS 25th Jun 2024		78 RPM Gene Krupa - Chickery Chick / Just A Little Fond Affection	Yep. Anita could make nursery rhymes sound hip and groovy
DeweyGill SUBS 25th Jun 2024		78 RPM Johnny Hamp - Mr. Ghost Goes To Town / The Gonna Goo	Hamp trots out a swing band for 1937. Sax man and singer Johnny McAfee is probably the best talent in the bunch, making his way briefly to Eddie Duchin before landing a steady in Tony Pastor’s band.
DeweyGill SUBS 25th Jun 2024		78 RPM Ella Fitzgerald - Come On-A My House / Mixed Emotions	Added sample copy set. Version rocks pretty hard. No Chipmunks here
DeweyGill SUBS 25th Jun 2024		78 RPM The Happiness Boys (Billy Jones And Ernest Hare) - Giggling Gertie / Must You Wear A Mustache?	Cropped and enlarged han enderman’s images
DeweyGill SUBS 25th Jun 2024		78 RPM The Happiness Boys (Billy Jones And Ernest Hare) - Giggling Gertie / Must You Wear A Mustache?	Added dealer inventory sleeve review
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jun 2024		78 RPM Harry’s Melody Men - Just Once Again / What Do We Do On A Dew Dew Dewy Day	I agree, Rust isn’t always accurate. I’ve found many discrepancies and omissions and questionable entries. Rust was, however, able to talk to many bandleaders and sidemen during his research. Granted, you are relying in many cases on their memory which may have lost accuracy over time. Some company ledgers were available to him. I seem to remember reading that when Rust met with Sam Lanin, he found Sam had kept very detailed notes on his many sessions.
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jun 2024		78 RPM Artie Shaw - Deep Purple / Pastel Blue	Added earlier label set
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jun 2024		78 RPM Ben Pollack - If I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight) / Because I'm Lonesome	Over the last 40 years, I’ve slowly created a cross reference for these department store labels from the 20’s and all the pseudonyms. It isn’t complete by any means, it is just a self serving list for items I own from this period encompassing several thousand titles. PM me if anyone is stuck on one of these, I may be able to help.
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jun 2024		78 RPM Ben Pollack - If I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight) / Because I'm Lonesome	Imperial D.O. In this case IS Adrian Schubert’s Orchestra. Recorded June 17, 1930. Also on Banner 0737. Sounds like Scrappy Lambert to me
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jun 2024		78 RPM The Melody Twins - (When The Pussywillow Whispers To The Catnip) The Whisper Song / I've Got Something In My Eye (And It's You)	Not much info on this one, outside of an Oriole release not yet posted here is another Cliff Friend composition
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jun 2024		78 RPM Earl Hines - Rosetta / 'Deed I Do	I’m not sure if this or any of the other discs in this package were available individually. Sometimes they were, sometimes they weren’t. Set includes 39260 through 39263
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jun 2024		78 RPM Chet Mauthe And His Kentucky Aces - Schneider Polka / Jungle Town	B side vocal- Arnel Krenkel Although a Wisconsin native, Mauthe apparently spent part of his life In Kentucky. He was born and died near Appleton, Wi; so I’m not quite sure where he was living at the time these sides were pressed, most likely by King (220 is the client code?). I seem to recall finding an archived newspaper ad listing of a gig in Wisconsin using this name.
