Klepsie 2nd Oct 2013		78 RPM Grace Johnston - You're Driving Me Crazy! (What Did I Do?) / Sweet Jennie Lee!	A side from US Melotone 12032; B side from Melotone 12010. Revived many years later and taken to #1 by the Temperance Seven, of course. Anyone seen an older "not for sale" sticker than this one?
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Buddy Prince - I'm In Seventh Heaven / Little Pal	Several sources give "Buddy Prince" as being a nom-du-disque of Frank Braidwood, presumably the same F.B. who recorded for Edison Diamond Discs. There was a 1920s movie actor of that name, but whether it's the same person I don't know.
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Bronislaw Huberman - Mélodie (From "Orfeo") / Hungarian Dance No. 7 (A Major)	Unsure of date; Brunswick Cliftophone was Brunswick's first UK outlet, running for a few years from November 1923. This release uses the same cat. no. as the US Brunswick release. Bronislaw Huberman was a very well-known Polish-Jewish musician of the era, who went on to be hailed a hero of his people for managing to facilitate the escape from Nazi Germany of many Jewish musicians.
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Gay Ellis And Her Sizzlin' Syncopators - I've Got "It" (But It Don't Do Me No Good) / Nobody Cares If I'm Blue	"Gay Ellis" was a pseudonym of Annette Hanshaw, qv. A side from US issue Harmony 1155, B side from Harmony 1196.
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Nat Gonella And His New Georgians - The Booglie Wooglie Piggy / Sentimental Interlude	Added label colour variations, with B side publisher box also apparently different.
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Phil Harris - Woodman, Spare That Tree / The Dark Town Poker Club	Added a further A side variant, and reordered scans to date order (LT=1947-48, DT=1948-50, DTP=1950-53), which suggests that the "Berlin, Brian" composer credit on the A side was on later copies than the "Bert Williams, Phil Harris" one.
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM The Stargazers - The Skiffling Dogs / Out Of This World	Added A side without sticker. Records referencing or satirising sputniks and skiffle weren't exactly uncommon in 1957, but it must have taken a certain level of insane genius to conceive of writing a song about what the skiffle stars of the day would have been like if they happened to be dogs...
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Peter Lind Hayes - Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It? / That Certain Party	Added a "CT" variant with minor layout changes on A side and B side NCB box moved compared to gregs78s' copy. Also reordered scans to date order (CT=1948 - 30 Dec 1950; +IP=30 Dec 1950 - 15 Apr 1953; N=15 Apr 1953 - 27 Oct 1955).
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Danny Kaye - St. Louis Blues / Ballin' The Jack	Added B side with Mecolico publisher credit.
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Danny Kaye And The Andrews Sisters - Civilisation (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) / Bread And Butter Woman	Added LT tax code scans. "Civilisation" was the song notoriously sung by bent copper Harold "Tanky" Challenor while arresting non-white victims to fit up.
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Danny Kaye - Bloop Bleep / I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now	Added variants with LT tax code -- probably a first pressing, as this code was superseded by CT on 9 April 1948. Note that both the LT and CT B side scans have the double-scratch across the Brunswick logo; presumably a damaged stamper which wasn't thought worthwhile replacing?
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Danny Kaye And The Andrews Sisters - Big Brass Band From Brazil / It's A Quiet Town	Also released on UK Decca, cat no FM 5468 -- not sure which is the original. A side from "Angel in the Wings" (a 1947 Broadway musical).
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM The Silver Stars Band - Colonel Bogey March / Belphegor March	Little known fact: "Kenneth J. Alford" was a pseudonym -- the composer was an Army bandmaster and regulations of the day (1914, only a couple of years before this release) forbade servicemen from any other paid employment, not excluding composing. "Alford" could hardly have guessed that over the next fifty years his tune would become known by every schoolchild with scatological lyrics added, or that over the next hundred years that version would become a universal symbol of mass resistance in the face of an enemy (the list of such instances here is without doubt hugely incomplete).
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Jay Wilbur - Party Dances (I) / Party Dances (II)	Might have been an early EP, if they'd thought of that name; both sides are "double-length" compared to a normal 78 (or 45), though both are one single track. Wilbur was a prolific recorder, often for budget labels under pseudonyms.
Klepsie 1st Oct 2013		78 RPM Frankie Lymon And The Teenagers - I Promise To Remember / Who Can Explain?	Added B side -- which, incidentally, is so close a carbon-copy of "Why Do Fools Fall In Love?" as to be almost indistinguishable from it.
Klepsie 13th Aug 2013		78 RPM The Ray Ellington Quartet - The 1950 Super Rhythm-Style Series Nos. 7 / 8	Copy of this is on eBay at the moment; label scan shows it to be "The 1950 Super Rhythm Style Series, No. 8".
Klepsie 16th Jan 2013		78 RPM Tommy Steele - It's All Happening / What Do You Do	B side credit is the same on the seven incher.
Klepsie 21st Dec 2012		78 RPM Charlie Gracie - Wanderin' Eyes / I Love You So Much It Hurts	Anyone noticed this comes in both HL and HLU variants?
Klepsie 18th Dec 2012		78 RPM H. Charrington - Piano By H. Charrington, Pueblo 1952	See also this item on 45cat...
Klepsie 6th Dec 2012		78 RPM Bill Haley And His Comets - See You Later, Alligator / The Paper Boy (On Main Street, U.S.A.)	Interesting to note that the publisher credits swapped sides between these two variants!
Klepsie 6th Dec 2012		78 RPM Bessie Smith - Empress of the Blues: Hot Jazz Classics Album #4	Oh mercy! W.B.lbl knows as much about 78 typesetting as he does 45s! (Seriously, your erudition has me boggled, and I'm very glad for all the knowledge you've been good enough to share.)
Klepsie 4th Dec 2012		78 RPM Paul Anka - Diana / Don't Gamble With Love	We now have 3 B sides including one duplicate...
Klepsie 4th Dec 2012		78 RPM H. Charrington - Piano By H. Charrington, Pueblo 1952	To my untutored eyes all 78s look like acetates in their feel and inflexibility! There's something about this kind of disc here which suggests this is probably a home recording.
Klepsie 4th Dec 2012		78 RPM H. Charrington - Piano By H. Charrington, Pueblo 1952	And here's the other 50% of my 78rpm collection, a mystery item for people to get their teeth into. As can be seen it's a 'recording blank' 78 with a pencilled title on one side (hard to read; "Charrington" could easily be "Chington" or a dozen other different names), and nothing at all on the other. Alas, I don't own a 78rpm deck, so I can't give any more clues other than to say that I found this in a US thrift store a while back priced at a quarter, couldn't bear to leave it behind, and had no end of faff getting it back to England in one piece...
Klepsie 4th Dec 2012		78 RPM Humphrey Lyttelton - The 1952 Super Rhythm-Style Series, No. 19 & 20	Here's 50% of my 78rpm collection by way of a break from 45cat...
Klepsie 23rd Apr 2013		Magazine Music Scene	Hadn't heard of this magazine before, though it was published by IPC so presumably had solid backing and distribution. How long did it run?
Klepsie 3rd Apr 2013		Magazine Science Fiction Stories	Contents: Norman L. Knight, "Once In A Blue Moon" Bill Wesley, "The Coffin Ship" R. A. Lafferty, "Day Of The Glacier" Carol Emshwiller, "Puritan Planet" Robert A. W. Lowndes, "The Editor's Page" "The Last Word" (reader's page/letters etc) First published story by notable writer R. A. Lafferty.
Klepsie 3rd Apr 2013		Magazine The E List	As much an advertising sheet as a magazine, but it calls itself a magazine so into the database it goes. It would be cruel to point out that "Your cultural life in Walthamstow" can barely master a dozen pages a month including advertising... oops.
Klepsie 2nd Apr 2013		Magazine Mad	Some powers that be are more powerful than others....
Klepsie 2nd Apr 2013		Magazine Mad	Next question for the powers that be; do comics count as magazines? "Mad" at least calls itself a magazine, but do you really want to start dabbling in the worlds of the Beano or Spiderman? Because if so you'd better have a lot of server space.
