GeneRobertson 2nd May 2017		78 RPM Ben Light And His Lightning Fingers - You / Bring Me A Bluebird	Some copies of the 78 credit the A-side as "You (Brought Sunshine)".
GeneRobertson 15th Jan 2017		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Der Fuehrer's Face / I Wanna Go Back To West Virginia	Reissue of Bluebird B-11586
GeneRobertson 29th Apr 2016		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - The Best Of Elvis	It is indeed a bootleg. Notice the blurred lettering on some areas of the label (I've actually seen slightly worse copies). I remember this being on sale at record fairs in 1980 for £10 - £12.
GeneRobertson 17th Feb 2015		78 RPM Roger Roger - Pleasure Drive / New Horizons	Good memories shared Neil! I had one of those given to me Christmas 1969, when I was 5. There was a toy shop fairly local to us, and they always had a box of the Kidditunes records there, from which my dear Mum always used to treat me to one every so often. Here's a Kidditunes listing.
GeneRobertson 13th Aug 2014		78 RPM Folk Dance Band - Galopede / We Won't Go Home Till Morning	Reissue of B 5071, originally released c.1931. (Released Sept 1926. mod)
GeneRobertson 10th Jul 2014		78 RPM Mr. Bernard Turner - Thora / Sweet Genevieve	I would say this, like all other Homophon 78s, dates from before 1914. I'm led to believe that during the Great War, Britain severed links with Germany's pressing plants for obvious reasons. Intersting link here on the Homophon label. [mod: link updated]
GeneRobertson 5th Jul 2014		78 RPM Frankie Trumbauer - Miscellany Rhythm Style Series No. 1 & 2	Both sides recorded on May 13th, 1927 and originally released on Okeh 40843. Alternative label design added.
GeneRobertson 2nd Jul 2014		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Unknown / Unknown	Looks more like an acetate. Or is it actually shellac?
GeneRobertson 2nd Jul 2014		78 RPM Stephane Grappelly And His Hot Four - Moon Glow / It Don't Mean A Thing	Yes, assuming you mean Grappelly, and not the mis-spelling of "Rheinhardt". Although he was born "Grappelli", thanks to his Italian father, he used the gallicised spelling of Grappelly for the first part of his career. He reverted to using the original spelling in 1969.
GeneRobertson 2nd Jul 2014		78 RPM Quintette Of The Hot Club Of France - Swing Music 1937 Series No. 103 & 104	Both tracks recorded October 15th, 1936.
GeneRobertson 2nd Jul 2014		78 RPM Quintette Of The Hot Club Of France - Body And Soul / A Little Love, A Little Kiss	"Body And Soul" recorded April 22nd, 1937. "A Little Love, A Little Kiss" recorded April 26th, 1937.
GeneRobertson 2nd Jul 2014		78 RPM Quintette Of The Hot Club Of France - Swing Music 1938 Series No. 189 & 190	Both tracks recorded April 22nd, 1937.
GeneRobertson 2nd Jul 2014		78 RPM Timme Rosenkrantz And His Barrelhouse Barons - A Wee Bit Of Swing / Is This To Be My Souvenir?	Lorangrecords, this is actually a UK pressing, not a Scandinavian one, though it may well have also been released and pressed in Denmark and / or Norway. I think it's safe to say that this is a UK pressing intended for export to Scandinavia.
GeneRobertson 1st Jul 2014		78 RPM The Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand / I'll Cry Instead	Given that it's an acetate, it's likely that only one or maybe two copies exist.
GeneRobertson 1st Jul 2014		78 RPM [no artist listed] - [no title listed] / [no title listed]	Looks like the sort of record that was played at race nights. A few of these were made during the 20s/30s, and some, I think, were double-grooved. Depending where you placed the needle on the record depended what horse race you heard after you had placed your bets.
GeneRobertson 30th Jun 2014		78 RPM Stephane Grappelly And His Hot Four - Moon Glow / It Don't Mean A Thing	Both tracks recorded October 21st, 1935.
GeneRobertson 30th Jun 2014		78 RPM The Quintet Of The Hot Club Of France - Swing From Paris / Them There Eyes	Both tracks recorded June 14th, 1938.
GeneRobertson 29th Jun 2014		78 RPM Quintette Of The Hot Club Of France - Swing Music 1936 Series No. 71 & 72	Alternative 'sepia Nipper logo' label design added.
GeneRobertson 9th Apr 2014		78 RPM Yank Lawson's Jazz Band - That's A Plenty / Wang Wang Blues	Alternative plain black label design added.
GeneRobertson 29th Mar 2014		78 RPM Teddy Joyce And His Dance Music - Little Church Round The Corner	This was given an official double-sided release on Sterno 1466, and was backed with "It's All Forgotten Now".
GeneRobertson 2nd Mar 2014		78 RPM Lonnie Donegan - The Battle Of New Orleans / Darling Corey	I keep hearing about two 'supposed' different versions of this on 45 - one which he sings "we fought the ruddy British", and also the more common one where he sings "we fought the bloomin' British". Does anyone know if any 78s with the "ruddy British" lyric slipped through the net?
GeneRobertson 22nd Feb 2014		78 RPM Frankie Howerd - Three Little Fishes / I'm Nobody's Baby	Label scans from my collection added.
GeneRobertson 18th Feb 2014		78 RPM The Empire Orchestra - The Gaby Glide / Rum Tum Tiddle	The theory I read was that the reason for manufacturing discs that played outwards was that on a normal record which played inwards, the last minute was always the quietest. Here, the result was the opposite. Can't vouch for how much truth there is in that theory, though.
GeneRobertson 17th Feb 2014		78 RPM Jim Cameron - Broun's Reel / La Russe	Label variations added.
GeneRobertson 3rd Feb 2014		78 RPM The Swinging Blue Jeans - You're No Good / Don't You Worry About Me	"Promise You'll Tell Her / It's So Right", which was the follow-up to this, was also issued on an Indian 78 in 1964 (POP 1327): http://www.popsike.com/SWINGING-BLUE-JEANS-Its-So-Right-INDIA-prs-78-rpm/200074280784.html
GeneRobertson 3rd Feb 2014		78 RPM Kyu Sakamoto - Sukiyaki (Ue O Muite Aruko) / Anoko-No Namae-Wa Nantenkana	Actually Scrough, I believe that "Tokyo Melody" by Helmut Zacharias & His Orchestra was used as the theme to the 1964 olympics (well, in the UK at least). Or it may well have been the vocal version by Tsai Chin.
GeneRobertson 18th Jan 2014		78 RPM Jack Hodges - Everything Is Fresh Today / The Razz Melody	[YouTube Video]
GeneRobertson 18th Jan 2014		78 RPM Alma Cogan - Bell Bottom Blues / Love Me Again	That's right Strawberry Lynn. Alma had released a few singles on HMV prior to this, but Bell Bottom Blues finally gave her the UK chart recogintion she deserved.
GeneRobertson 17th Jan 2014		78 RPM Dave King - You Can't Be True To Two / The Birds And The Bees	First Indian POPE I've ever heard of!
GeneRobertson 17th Jan 2014		78 RPM Billy Williams - When Father Papered The Parlour / Don't Go Out With Him Tonight	Thanks Scrough - you're absolutely right!
