DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Aug 2024 | | 78 RPMLarry Everts - Beautiful You / Moon At Noon | Regular attraction at Schwartz’s Ballroom in Hartford, WI (later known as Marty Zivko’s from 1948 through the rock and roll era, although Marty appeared with his own band which played pop and polkas as well.) Now called the Chandelier Ballroom.
|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Aug 2024 | | 78 RPMFred Hall - Anything To Make You Happy / No One But You | Interesting tag line on this 7” disc’s sleeve- “Why carry a clock when a watch will do?”
|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Aug 2024 | | 78 RPMBob Reed - Careless With Your Kisses / Choctaw Boogie | Apparently a test for Bob’s release on Mar-Vel 333. Bob Reed “The Flying Hillbilly”
|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Aug 2024 | | 78 RPMBen Bernie - Jack-In-The-Box / Listen To The German Band | This record sold well In my home town of Milwaukee, as it had a very heavy German population during this period. By this time (1932) it was mostly second and third generation families. Thus, we were a big brewery town, German beer gardens and taverns were all over town. The second largest newspaper was The Germania, a German language paper. A lot of this changed partly due to immersion
along with US involvement in WW1, but mainly during WW2, including the alteration of many ethnic German last names. The beautiful and historic Germania building still stands, now converted to apartments.

DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Aug 2024 | | 78 RPMRube Bloom - Soliloquy / Spring Fever | I have a sleeve note of an April 21 recording date with a question mark, meaning I wasn’t able to verify it.
Rube’s own recording of his minor classic. Later in the year, Don Voorhees would issue a version that sold very well. Also cut by Duke Ellington around the same time as this Cameo issue. Rube had initially recorded this in 1926 on Harmony

|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Aug 2024 | | 78 RPMGeorge's Dukes And Duchess - I'm Gonna See My Baby / Sweet Potato | “I’m Gonna See My Baby” was a popular hit by numerous artists in the first half of 1945. Seems odd that this version would be issued later than that, as it was a hopeful wartime diity. This could actually be from 1946, long after “victory day,” as mentioned in the lyrics.
|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 2nd Aug 2024 | | 78 RPMGeorge's Dukes And Duchess - You Can't Take That Away From Me / Blues A La King | Marion Abernathy is “The Duchess” in George’s Dukes and Duchess, and star attraction it seems

|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 31st Jul 2024 | | 78 RPMJohnny Marvin - Ed Smalle | This is the very small label used briefly in the early 1930’s. This copy probably pressed closer to the cutout date
|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 31st Jul 2024 | | 78 RPMJohnny Marvin - Cryin' For The Carolines / Blue Eyes (Get Red Red Ready For Love) | The above label images are of the very small label used briefly in the early 1930’s, probably closer to the cutout date

|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 31st Jul 2024 | | 78 RPMThe Varsity Seven - Shake It And Break It / A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody | Thanks, Mike. He tried changing his phrasing, but he couldn’t change his tone. And I’m not sure what Eli Oberstein’s relationship was with Victor anymore.
|
DeweyGill SUBS ● 31st Jul 2024 | | 78 RPMThe Varsity Seven - Shake It And Break It / A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody | Are we sure Carleton Harkins isn’t Coleman Hawkins moonlighting? He was under contract to Victor as a bandleader at the time.
