DeweyGill SUBS 9th Sep 2024		78 RPM Ted Wallace And His Campus Boys - I've Got A Feeling I'm Falling / Jericho	Smith Ballew, v
DeweyGill SUBS 9th Sep 2024		78 RPM California Ramblers - I'm Needin' You / Washin' The Blues From My Soul	Vocals by Smith Ballew with another harmony voice shadowing. Top side may just as well been a Ted Wallace disc, by this point these Kirkeby sides were nearly interchangeable.
DeweyGill SUBS 9th Sep 2024		78 RPM Julio Moro And The Dreamdusters - Listen To The Words / Red River Valley	Kenosha, Wi. group
DeweyGill SUBS 9th Sep 2024		78 RPM Wayne King - Guilty / I Don't Know Why (I Just Do)	It’s still hotel dance band pop, but wonderful arrangements
DeweyGill SUBS 9th Sep 2024		78 RPM The Lyric Male Chorus Of Milwaukee, Wisconsin - The Prisoner In The Caucasus / Ships In Harbor	The chorus was organized in 1896 as The Lyric Glee Club. Once they incorporated in 1913, the name was revised. The chorus appeared nationally. These sides, cut in Camden were probably recorded during one of their tours.
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Sep 2024		78 RPM Wayne King - Guilty / I Don't Know Why (I Just Do)	Top notch versions of both songs, before he was tagged as the Schmaltz King
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Sep 2024		78 RPM Andy Kirk And His Twelve Clouds Of Joy - Blue Illusion / Corky	Added images
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Sep 2024		78 RPM Les Brown And His Band Of Renown - Slaughter On Tenth Avenue	Tail end of his Columbia contract before switching to Coral, with positive results.
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Sep 2024		78 RPM Lil Johnson - If You Can Dish It (I Can Take It) / I'm Bettin' On You	A couple of discographies I indexed listed “acc. by unknown bass and piano” However, Lil identifies “Bob” during a piano break on the A side. This is most likely “Black Bob” who worked on some of her other sides. I doubt I was the first to notice this.
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Sep 2024		78 RPM Ralph Bennett And His Seven Aces (All Eleven Of 'Em) - Kiss By Kiss (I'm Falling In Love With You) / Delishious	Uncredited vocalist on “Delishious” sounds like Will Osborne to me. Both sides are also issued on other ARC companion labels using alternate takes or matrix and vocalist (Smith Ballew on “ Kiss By Kiss” for Perfect) for example. This appears to be a brief trend, perhaps trying to establish some exclusiveness of recordings for their individual department and dime store customers
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Sep 2024		78 RPM Sleepy Hall And His Collegians - Sing Song Girl (Little Yella Cinderella) / The Song Of The Fool	B side vocalist is uncredited, to my ears it’s most likely Will Osborne
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Sep 2024		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Trailing The Killer	Sound disc for a film trailer. A process similar to Vitaphone, this must have been at the very tail end of that technology, having already been replaced by the Sound On Film process. Possibly continued for a time until all theaters were updated.
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Sep 2024		78 RPM Vincent Rose - Stay As Sweet As You Are / Let's Give Three Cheers For Love	Both from the film “College Rhythm” starring Joe Penner, Jackie Oakie, Lanny Ross, Mary Brien, and my favorite character actor and comedic foil from that era, the dry, sometimes snooty or sourpuss Franklin Pangborn. And just in time for the college football season.
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Sep 2024		78 RPM Jan Savitt - Indian Summer / Sweet Dreams, Sweetheart	Both recorded October 4, 1939
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Sep 2024		78 RPM Frank Novak And His Music - I'm In The Market For You / The Terror	Cliff Jackson and His Krazy Kats was one of the few Black bands to record under Grey Gull musical director Marvin Smolev’s wand. “The Terror” may be the best of the sides.
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Sep 2024		78 RPM Messrs. Kryl And Haines - Short And Sweet Polka / Gobble Duet From “The Mascot"	It appears these artists were working around the mid-west at this time, specifically Cincinnati, also Chicago where it seems at least Cimera was based.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Al Jolson - Scandinavia (Sing Dose Song And Make Dose Music) / Funeral Blues (Eat Custard And You'll Never Break A Tooth)	I tried, not much luck, and I notice a discogs item has a different set of numbers entirely.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Al Jolson - Scandinavia (Sing Dose Song And Make Dose Music) / Funeral Blues (Eat Custard And You'll Never Break A Tooth)	Oh, Okay. I now see a CP code image on discogs
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Herman Popper And His S.S. George Washington Orchestra - My Rambler Rose / Listening On Some Radio ( It's Getting Dark In Old Broadway)	Again, my “notes” section got lost in the upload: Mx S 70775-C Rambler Rose Mx S 70776-B Listening
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Herman Popper And His S.S. George Washington Orchestra - My Rambler Rose / Listening On Some Radio ( It's Getting Dark In Old Broadway)	Recorded August 11, 1922 The SS George Washington started its life in 1908 as a German luxury ocean liner, the third largest in the world before being seized by the U.S. Navy in 1917. It was then used for troup transport to France during WW1. In 1921, it returned to passenger service, this time flying a US flag. Herman Popper by all accounts had plenty of time to entertain its 3000 passengers, being a rather slow coal fired steamer. Parked during the depression, it returned to military service during WW2 after engine upgrades. It was scrapped in the 1950’s after a fire. Its place in history was earned as being the ship that radioed the Titanic in 1912 about a large iceberg it had just encountered.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Frisco Players - Happy Days Are Here Again / Gee It's Great To Build A Nest	Both sides are the usual GG house band suspects- Mosiello, Sannella, Magnante, etc.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Al Jolson - Scandinavia (Sing Dose Song And Make Dose Music) / Funeral Blues (Eat Custard And You'll Never Break A Tooth)	Probably a second pressing- GJ code
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Rudy Vallée And His Connecticut Yankees - Pretending / Where Are You Dream Girl?	Thanks
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Rudy Vallée And His Connecticut Yankees - Pretending / Where Are You Dream Girl?	Release date came from DAHR. Not reliable?
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Rudy Vallée And His Connecticut Yankees - Pretending / Where Are You Dream Girl?	“Schusters” eventually merged with Gimbels Brothers Department Stores
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Sep 2024		78 RPM Boone, Riggs, Cuthrell - Lucky Strike Presents	Speed Riggs was a tobacco auctioneer in the 1930’s, but was made famous after being discovered by the president of American Tobacco Company. His gavel drop “Sold American’’ was a tag line for Lucky Strike cigarettes, who sponsored Kay Kyser’s radio show. Aubrey”Speed” Riggs spent the better part of three decades as the voice of Lucky Strike on the Lucky Strike Hit Parade, and a frequent guest on the Kyser broadcasts. In his heyday, Speed delivered about 470 words per minute. The Wayne County (North Carolina) Public Library has posted an acetate of Speed pre-Kyser in action on YouTube. The video states 1940, I’d put it a bit earlier. Amazing to listen to.
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Sep 2024		78 RPM Wally Edwards [Ed Kirkeby] - Don't Tell Her (What's Happened To Me) / How Are You Tonight In Hawaii?	The B side, Hotel Pennsylvania Music, is Jack Albin’s band and has nothing to do with the Ed Kirkeby (Wally Edwards) A side. Could a moderator adjust the artist category, please? Yes, I know there are some interchangeable elements in most of these studio house bands, but for identification purposes..
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Sep 2024		78 RPM Al Jolson - Liza (All The Clouds'll Roll Away) / One Sweet Kiss	Back around 1981, I bought a 78 collection from the estate of a man who owned a radio repair/record shop. He retired after 30+ years in the late 1950’s, but all of his left over store stock ended up in his basement. Included were the sequential Jolson Brunswicks 4400, 4401, 4402. All three had this special sleeve. There were multiples, all in this sleeve, all unplayed. I’m not sure if this sleeve ended up on any other Jolsons, but it was on these three. The 4400 was the second press “Say It With Songs” issue, it’s possible the sleeve was not used on the first version, see sleeve text.
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Sep 2024		78 RPM Harry Reser’s Syncopators - Baby Feet Go Pitter Patter ('Cross My Floor) / Together, We Two	Added inventory/stocking sticker. Store inventory sleeve notes 2 copies on hand December 28, 1927
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Sep 2024		78 RPM Jan Garber - I Wish I Knew / Gonna Build A Big Fence Around Texas	The B side was the desirable song here. Garber’s career as a bandleader spanned six decades. Through most of it he led a sweet or ballroom outfit, but during the war years he led a swing band, as they were popular with the servicemen. Garber, like most bands in the war years played many Army and other service camps. He guested on AFRS and other wartime radio broadcasts like The Camel Caravan as well. By 1947, Jan was again leading a sweet outfit. By 1957, he was voted the top Ballroom Orchestra in the US, Garber continued working through the mid 1970’s, though his recording career dried up in the mid 1960’s, .
