LaurenceD SUBS ● 11th Dec 2021 | | 78 RPMPaul Whiteman - A Tabloid Version Of As Thousands Cheer / A Tabloid Version Of "Let 'em Eat Cake" | Hi dewey70, it was recorded at Studio 2 in New York and plays at 78 rpm. It's the second picture disc release by Whiteman, the previous being Victor 39000 from 1932.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 3rd Dec 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumDavy Graham - Large As Life And Twice As Natural | Adjusted release date, and added scans for alternate labels, plus a different front cover. Not sure about the previous front cover image (1690996), doesn't look like a USA London cover to me...
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 28th Nov 2021 | | 78 RPM美ち奴 (Michiyakko) - 富士のお山で / 十五夜ぶし | Release date is tentative; I have conflicting information, some sites stating 1951, others 1953.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 20th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumGogi Grant - Both Ends Of The Candle | I have linked this to the USA release; could someone (LouisSidney?) check the label on their copy and see if the track "Bill" is in fact listed on side 2, as it is not included in this entry. Thanks
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 20th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumOriginal Broadway Cast - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes | Added scans for the 'six-eye' labels. Original 1950 release had green labels and the ML prefix. I think that the OL prefix appeared around 1955 or later.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 20th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes | This rechanneled version must have been released long after 1950...
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 20th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumGerry Mulligan, Ben Webster - Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster | First issue had the cat# MGVS-6104. Not sure when this later number was introduced. My copy is an MGM pressing.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th Nov 2021 | | 78 RPMEvelyn Knight With Ray Charles Singers - Cherry Stones / All Dressed Up To Smile | "Cherry Stones" was the designated a-side, but "All Dressed Up To Smile" seems to have garnered most of the attention (Billboard Picks, Disk Jockeys Pick, etc.)
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Nov 2021 | | 78 RPMRubio y Martinez - Hermosas Fuentes / Las Cuatro Milpas | Thank you, xiphophilos. I have a couple of these in the 2700 range which I have been unable to date as yet. Will post them momentarily...
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumEthel Merman - The Ethel Merman Disco Album | Added scans (well somebody had to do it).
Actually, I was a bit disappointed with this LP, as I was hoping that Ms. Merman might tackle some numbers like "Boogie Oogie Oogie". Instead she stuck to her familiar style and repertoire, but with a disco-style orchestral backing.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumJackie Gleason - Jackie Gleason Presents Riff Jazz | Added scans. BTW the captions for the Hank Jones and Charlie Shavers photos are switched.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - Louisiana Purchase | The note regarding the 1951 film above the side two listing is incorrect, the film is from 1941.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 13th Nov 2021 | | 78 RPMRubio y Martinez - Hermosas Fuentes / Las Cuatro Milpas | Should this not be a USA release?
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 7th Nov 2021 | | 78 RPMLeticia Cárdenas - Quiero Verte (Shanghai) / Cúbreme Con Violetas (Sweet Violets) | Release date estimated.
Spanish-language versions of two hits from June 1951: Doris Day's Shanghai, and Dinah Shore's Sweet Violets

LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th Nov 2021 | | 78 RPMRay Noble And His New Mayfair Orchestra - In The Bushes At The Bottom Of The Garden / She Was Poor But She Was Honest | I went back and listened to this record again, was able to identify the performers, and so have changed the artist fields so that they are now linked correctly. These tracks are apparently pirated recordings from the following releases:
A: His Master's Voice B 6154 / c.1932
B: Enterprise 261 / c.1947
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 4th Nov 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumTommy Dorsey - The Complete Tommy Dorsey, Volume IV / 1937 | Track D8 on this collection is a lesser-known Dorsey side - it was released on Victor 25632 with no artist credit (see here for images).
I have added an excerpt (image 2794716) from Joe Klee's review of this release (Modern Recording & Music, August 1980) which describes the recording.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 31st Oct 2021 | | Classical ItemConsortium Musicum, Wolfgang Gönnenwein - Bach: Matthäus-Passion | Thanks for the comments, I have adjusted things accordingly.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Oct 2021 | | 78 RPMDick Edwards - Peter Cottontail / Teddy Bear Polka | Added an alternate b-side label. The a-side on this copy is the same as Diognes' { 820241 }
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Oct 2021 | | 78 RPMThe Tops Choraleers - Christmas Song Favorites | These tracks, and most of the label design, were recycled from earlier releases on the Voco label.
This one is probably from around 1952 or a bit later.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 27th Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumJune Christy - June | Added (readable) scans for back cover and labels, with respect to Scratchy45.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 27th Oct 2021 | | CD AlbumThe Byrds - Sweetheart Of The Rodeo | There is a hidden track about 1 minute after the end of #19: sounds like a radio ad for the SOTR LP.

LaurenceD SUBS ● 9th Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumLester Young - Pres Is Blue | Sorry, but the front cover on my copy has been destroyed :-(
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 8th Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumJoão Gilberto - The Boss Of The Bossa Nova | Looks like 5 of these tracks were recycled on SD 8105
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 8th Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumMuir Mathieson Conducting The Sinfonia Of London - Gone With The Wind The Authentic Original Score Recording | First release of Muir Mathieson's recording in a standard cover. Reissued in 1961 in a new gatefold cover which has a less prominent credit for Mathieson.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 8th Oct 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumMonty Python - Matching Tie And Handkerchief | Looks like we've set a precedent for combining the Arista pressings with different prefixes (AL & AB), so I posted my AB 4039 scans here. The only changes to the cover and inner sleeve are the cat numbers, while these later labels have full track listings.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 3rd Oct 2021 | | CD AlbumThe Halibuts - Chumming | I think that this Flatfish CD was the original local release, before being issued on Upstart for wider distribution.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Sep 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Frank Moore Four - The Frank Moore Four | Released in mono format only, as far as I can determine.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Sep 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - Elvis' Golden Records Volume 3 | Tracks are stereo, except possibly A5 & B5, which sound rechanneled to me.
|
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Sep 2021 | | Vinyl AlbumElvis Presley - 엘비스 NBC-TV 특별 쇼-쇼-쇼 !! | Mono/stereo info for the tracks on this release:
- A1,B1,B4 are true stereo (except for certain bits of dialogue)
- A2,B2,B3,B5 are rechanneled
Some rough translations:
- album title = Elvis NBC-TV Special Show-Show-Show !!
- 대도 레코드 = Taedo record
- 철속곡 = song medley
- 평화의 멧쎄이지 = message of peace
