DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jul 2024		78 RPM Lowell Fulson - Reconsider Baby / I Believe I'll Give It Up	Added stock flip
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jul 2024		78 RPM Arthur And Booker - You're Near Me / Heavenly Angel	Two nice sides by this obscure duo
DeweyGill SUBS 24th Jul 2024		78 RPM Luther Dixon - Feeling Of Love / Nobody But You	Rockin’ guitar on “Nobody But You”
DeweyGill SUBS 23rd Jul 2024		78 RPM Sleepy Hall And His Collegians - At Your Command / How The Time Can Fly (Whenever I'm With You)	Although “Sleepy Hall” (John Nelson) was an actual musician, it is unlikely he participated in these ARC sessions that use his name. This is the ARC house band, to my ears Victor Young is probably directing.
DeweyGill SUBS 23rd Jul 2024		78 RPM Albert Taylor - My Little Grass Shack In Kealakekua, Hawaii / Carolina	Both sound like Freddy Martin arrangements, as he is likely the director here.
DeweyGill SUBS 23rd Jul 2024		78 RPM Albert Taylor - Throw Another Log On The Fire / Temptation	Two tracks from the ARC house band. Both sides have the unmistakable Freddy Martin reed arrangements.
DeweyGill SUBS 18th Jul 2024		78 RPM Vaughn Monroe - The Waltz Of Memory / Doodle La Do Da	B side is one of the better workouts by this band
DeweyGill SUBS 17th Jul 2024		78 RPM Peggy Lee - Fever / You Don't Know	My Scranton copy is vinyl. I seem to remember having a shellac copy at one time
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Jul 2024		78 RPM Bing Crosby - A Fella With An Umbrella / Blue Shadows On The Trail	Both tracks timed with the release of the two musical films, approximately June 1, 1948. In “Easter Parade”, Judy Garland and Fred Astaire performed the song. In “Melody Time”, Roy Rogers and The Sons Of The Pioneers performed the song
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Jul 2024		78 RPM Alvino Rey - (It's Gonna Depend On) The Way That The Wind Blows / California Sunbeam	Billboard reviewed this August 24, 1946, so assuming the trade mag got to this in their usual 3 to 10 days for publication, August would be the likely month of release.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Jul 2024		78 RPM Harlem Hot Shots - March Winds And April Showers / Love Is Just Around The Corner	Vocals by Wingy, with interjections and incidental singing by guitarist Nappy LaMare- (Side A only). By this point, Wingy has a fairly stable lineup including Matty Matlock- cl, Eddie Miller -cl, ts, Gil Bowers- p, Harry Goodman -b, Ray Bauduc-d,
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Jul 2024		78 RPM Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra - Moten's Swing / Toby	Might more be my unclear or inaccurate wording. I just meant he wasn’t playing on the session, Durham did the arranging. Moten may well have directed. I did credit Basie on piano. Moten had pretty much turned over the piano bench to the Count by the end of 1929
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Jul 2024		78 RPM Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra - Moten's Swing / Toby	This was Moten’s last session, though neither Moten were present. The band was broke. Eddie Durham arranged this session that included Hot Lips Page tp; Eddie Barefield cl,as; Ben Webster ts. The nucleus of the Basie band is here, Joe Keyes-tp; Dan Minor-tb; Jack Washington- as,bar; Walter Page- bass; Basie-p; and Jimmy Rushing- v would all be present when Count Basie cut his first discs in 1937 with the full band.
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Jul 2024		78 RPM Joseph Robechaux And His New Orleans Rhythm Boys - After Me The Sun Goes Down / Why Should I Cry For You	Cropped my old image. I’ll reshoot them next time I stumble on it.
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Jul 2024		78 RPM Eddie Fisher - Excerpts From Eddie Fisher Album “May I Sing To You”	I left the sleeve out of the lead position, but I have every reason to believe it came with this disc. This was part of my Dad’s collection from his days in radio in the early-mid ‘50’s and untouched since then. The number “3185” is written on the top left corner, mostly cut off when I cropped the image. This sleeve may not be exclusive to this disc, however.
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Jul 2024		78 RPM Mark Antony Recording Orchestra - In A Little Waterfront Tavern / Just A Bar Maid	URAB was an early song poem label, among other things. Based in New York City, they also provided transcription services. The Mark Antony Recording “Orchestra” is a piano, accordion and for the A side, they even throw in a trumpet. Poor quality disc, URAB must gave gotten a deal on leftover porous wartime shellac with its high clay ratio, pits, bubbles and inclusions. The B side is a tale of a barmaid who mixes strong drinks and gets her male clients to lavish her with money and gifts. Imagine that. (I once dated a bartender, it was amazing the stuff she brought home daily. Most of it she gave to me- except the tips. I even had her hawking their old records -remember that guys ..and gals). What a racket.
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Jul 2024		78 RPM Wingy Mannone - Shoe Shine Boy / West Wind	West Wind really cooks
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Jul 2024		78 RPM Wingy Mannone - Lulu's Back In Town / Sweet And Slow	Nappy LaMare, comments on A side. Two of the more memorable songs from the film starring Dick Powell, Joan Blondell, Adolfe Menjou, Mills Brothers, Ted Fio Rito. Other memorable songs: A Quarter To Nine, Outside Of You, The Pig And The Cow, Flagenheim’s Odorless Cheese. (What? You don’t remember the last two?) Trivia: Blondell was married to Menjou at the time, but a relationship sparked between Joan and Dick Powell, they would later marry.
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Jul 2024		78 RPM Smith Ballew And His Piping Rock Orch. - Time On My Hands (You In My Arms) / You Call It Madness (But I Call It Love)	Two sweet but charming versions of these to be standards
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Jul 2024		78 RPM Joe Haymes - I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate / That's A Plenty	Maybe not the best version of the Haymes band to attempt these tunes. A bit stiff. “Kate” is good enough, but the flip sounds like a military band trying to swing. Credit for that goes to the rhythm section of Jack Faye, bass (main culprit- ever hear of him? Didn’t think so), and Charlie Bush, drums. There is that chance they were looking for a throwback sound, I suppose, but seems unlikely at the dawn of the swing era.
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Jul 2024		78 RPM Henry Allen - There's A House In Harlem For Sale / Rug Cutter Swing	Two wonderful sides by this unit. House In Harlem is a fine blues based theme featuring nice solos from Buster Bailey cl, Keg Johnson tb, and Allen, open horn. Rug Cutter is a thing of beauty. A great solo from Bailey, Hilton Jefferson as,. A muted but sometimes growling HRA, and Claude Jones tb. All propelled by a lithe and supple rhythm section of a graceful Lawrence Lucie, g, Walter Johnson swings lightly on the drums and Elmer James* drives the tune with his bass, thumping the tub in just the right spots. Horace Henderson gets a few bars on piano. Jones and HRA on the ride out. “Really In there,” as they used to say. • not convinced of this Rust line up, sure sounds like Pops Foster to me, and if that’s the case, might be Paul Barbarin, drums
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Jul 2024		78 RPM Emery Deutsch - Long Hair Swing / On The Isle Of Bong Bong	Thought I’d be the first to add one by this group, as he was reasonably popular in this era. (The 45 side already has a few entries) By 1940, most bands had jumped on the Swing bandwagon (even Shep Fields, for cripes sake). Outside of the leader’s solo violin , it features mostly section work, kind of like Larry Clinton. The top side might almost be confused for an Eddie South record- (I said “almost”) As for side B, I have friends who have spent far too much time there.
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Jul 2024		78 RPM Swanee Swingers - Slappin' The Bass / Take It Easy	Top side features solos by Chelsea Quealey- tp. Woody- cl. Saxie Mansfield, Sonny Lee- tb, George Wartner- guitar, Walter Yoder plays bass. On the flip, Woody turns in one of his early “blues” vocals. These would be highlights once he formed his own band later in the year, using some members of this unit. The March 31 session would be Jonses’ last before reforming in 1937 with mostly new personnel.
DeweyGill SUBS 3rd Jul 2024		78 RPM Eddie Kirkeby - Crazy People / In My Hide-Away	Personnel seems to be drawn from the ARC/ Brunswick stable of available musicians, Kirkeby may or may not have any actual involvement
DeweyGill SUBS 30th Jun 2024		78 RPM Hoosier Hot Shots - Sentimental Gentleman From Georgia / Farmer Gray	Cropped and enlarged han enderman’s image
DeweyGill SUBS 30th Jun 2024		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.
