DeweyGill SUBS ● 22nd Jan 2021		78 RPM Tommy (Mary Jo) Braden And His Flames - Do The Do / Did You Ever See A Monkey Play The Fiddle	Comment moved to notes {Mod.}
DeweyGill SUBS ● 22nd Jan 2021		78 RPM Lovin' Sam From Down In 'Bam (Sam Theard) - The Lover And The Beggar / You Rascal You	The Godrich- Dixon book I have 'Blues and Gospel Records 1902-1942' was issued in 1963. It lists the recording dates as June 24 and 25. I will assume their mis- information came from Rust, as he is credited for various contributions on the last page of the book, although it could be the other way around.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 21st Jan 2021		78 RPM Duke Ellington - The Mooche / Hot And Bothered	As is the case with Ellington discs in the 20's, these titles were recorded for more than one label. This version of 'Hot And Bothered' features Bubber Miley taking off in a vamp backed by Baby Cox's wordless vocal, all propelled by Wellman Brauds's string bass
DeweyGill SUBS ● 21st Jan 2021		78 RPM Lovin' Sam From Down In 'Bam (Sam Theard) - The Lover And The Beggar / You Rascal You	Fixbutte: I scribble notes and dates in the dead wax with china marker on a lot of my discs. I do have a copy of the Dixon - Godrich book. For curiosities sake, I'll check that tomorrow
DeweyGill SUBS ● 21st Jan 2021		78 RPM The Charleston Chasers - Lovable And Sweet / Red Hair And Freckles	Well, I certainly overpaid for my copy. Tefteller had an unplayed store stock copy that cost me 80 on ebay. I got wrapped up in the bidding. It was worth it I guess, I've gotten a dozen years of enjoyment out of it.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 21st Jan 2021		78 RPM The Charleston Chasers - Lovable And Sweet / Red Hair And Freckles	Stunning fidelity from Columbia, Joe Tarto's bass rattles the walls on 'Lovable And Sweet'. This type of recording quality along with an almost glass like surface from the label in this era would be unmatched until post war years.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 21st Jan 2021		78 RPM Chick Bullock And His Levee Loungers - Don't Get Sentimental (With Me Baby) / You've Got To Get High To Sing	Chick belts out the 'Get High' side like he really means it!
DeweyGill SUBS ● 21st Jan 2021		78 RPM Bob Pope And His Hotel Charlotte Orchestra - West Wind / Early Bird	'Early Bird' is the more intriguing side here. Pope's fluttery vocal fronts a band that you can literally hear breath. Just jazzy enough to keep things interesting, this is how a depression era dance band should sound
DeweyGill SUBS ● 21st Jan 2021		78 RPM J. C. Higginbotham And His Six Hicks - Give Me Your Telephone Number / Higginbotham Blues	I have long been a fan of certain string bass players and Columbia's ability to record them circa 1927 to 1930. I own various U S and foreign pressings of this recording for that reason, but this issue is by far the best sounding. Pops Foster's bass literally shakes the floors on a high quality schellac pressing with nearly no background noise, absolutely crisp and clean. Original Columbia plates perhaps?
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Chick Bullock And His Levee Loungers - Sing An Old Fashioned Song (To A Young Sophisticated Lady) / I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter	Great Berigan horn on side 2
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Walter Pontius, Fritz Renk - Go Over To Mooseheart And Get A Heart Full Of Love / Go Over To Mooseheart And Get A Heart Full Of Love	The Royal Order Of The Moose originally built Mooseheart in 1913 as a home for the widows and children of Moose Lodge members. It operates today with less restrictive qualifiers than originally implemented.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Jimmie Lunceford's Orchestra - Scratch My Back / Saxology	Billboard ad Nov. 29, 1947
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Secret Love / I'm In The Mood For Love	Added promos
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Nat Pierce - Autumn In New York / Goodbye Mr. Chops	Teddy (Teddi) King, vocal on side 2. This was his Boston based group. Since Motif 0002 was issued in mid August, 003 it seems, would also date from this period or later. This would also be Boston native Teddi King's recording debut
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Al Sears - Groove Station / Azores	Promo set added
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Jimmy Nelson - Second Hand Fool / Big Mouth	Billboard review Sept. 19, 1953
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Walter Pontius, Fritz Renk - Go Over To Mooseheart And Get A Heart Full Of Love / Go Over To Mooseheart And Get A Heart Full Of Love	Since this was recorded by Marsh, I assume this to be mid 1920's. It sounds like an acoustic recording, but quite loud
DeweyGill SUBS ● 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Jones-Smith, Incorporated - Shoe Shine Boy / Evenin'	Recorded Oct 9, 1936
DeweyGill SUBS ● 19th Jan 2021		78 RPM New Orleans Black Birds - Baby / Red Head	Two other tracks were recorded by Pettis that day and released on the standard Victor pop series under Pettis' name. The New Orleans Blackbird name was apparently more fitting for the 38000 series
DeweyGill SUBS ● 19th Jan 2021		78 RPM Lovin' Sam From Down In 'Bam (Sam Theard) - The Lover And The Beggar / You Rascal You	Thanks, Mike!
DeweyGill SUBS ● 19th Jan 2021		78 RPM Tiny Bradshaw - Spider Web / The Gypsy	Promo set added {Moved up. Mod.}
DeweyGill SUBS ● 19th Jan 2021		78 RPM New Orleans Black Birds - Baby / Red Head	Correcting my notes on 'Red Head'- Tarto plays bb, not sb. Also Matty Malneck, vn.
DeweyGill SUBS ● 19th Jan 2021		78 RPM Matie Hite - Graveyard Dream Blues / Mason Dixon Blues	Acc. Fletcher Henderson and Coleman Hawkins. Thought to be the niece of Les Hite
DeweyGill SUBS ● 18th Jan 2021		78 RPM Lovin' Sam From Down In 'Bam (Sam Theard) - The Lover And The Beggar / You Rascal You	Brian Rust's Jazz Discography. Amended 1972 reprint of the 1969 publication. Brian's research has some inaccuracies, but one cannot refute his enormous contribution to the genre. A lot of his research was done in the 1950's and 1960's when company files still existed and were made available to him, and countless interviews with the leaders and musicians themselves who were still living at the time. The latter info is only as accurate as those people's memories and notes. Some kept meticulous notes and ledgers, others relied on sometimes foggier memories. Also, occasionally when two consecutive dates are listed they were often the same session, it just went past midnight and spilled in to the next day. I'm not sure if session ledgers notated this, or if Rust made this distinction on his own
DeweyGill SUBS ● 18th Jan 2021		78 RPM Lovin' Sam From Down In 'Bam (Sam Theard) - The Lover And The Beggar / You Rascal You	Take note I'm an older collector and most of my info comes from publications and discographies that are 50 years old or older. Much of that info has been questioned, further researched and updated, especially when it comes to blues records. So I welcome any updates to any dated information I may enter. I'm not a rabid blues collector, although I love the genre. Over the 60 years of collecting 78's, I have accumulated a decent stash of blues and vintage jazz, although my collection leans heavier in the direction of swing and pre -war dance bands, as this is the fodder for my radio show. I'll try to mix up my entries when I do make submissions. My current focus is getting through my 45's and those entered on 45cat
DeweyGill SUBS ● 18th Jan 2021		78 RPM The Vocaleers - Is It A Dream / Hurry Home	Images added
DeweyGill SUBS ● 18th Jan 2021		78 RPM Lonnie Johnson - Tomorrow Night / Dizzy Dazzy	Added variant
DeweyGill SUBS ● 18th Jan 2021		78 RPM Various Artists - Greetings From Capitol Artists To All Music Dealers- NAMM Convention Chicago Part 1 / Greetings From Capitol Artists To All Music Dealers- NAMM Convention Chicago Part 2	Johnny Mercer knocks on the hotel room doors of the Capitol artists staying at the Palmer House. Peggy Lee, Jerry Colonna, Andy Russell, Jo Stafford, Paul Weston, Glen Wallach and Floyd Bitticker all have bit parts in this little comedy sketch. Copies were handed out at the convention
DeweyGill SUBS ● 18th Jan 2021		78 RPM The New Singers - The Internationale / Forward! We Have Not Forgotten	There are more of these all with different custom labels. Label founded in 1935 by Leo Waldman. Sold to General in 1940, in turn purchased by Commodore around 1945
DeweyGill SUBS ● 18th Jan 2021		78 RPM Joe Venuti Orchestra - Unknown Hot Track / Closing Announcement By Fred Foster	I have hundreds of these airchecks that I'll add in the future
