LaurenceD SUBS ● 16th Mar 2013		78 RPM Benny Goodman - Let's Dance With Benny Goodman	Just for fun, I uploaded the original receipt for this album (this one was $3.57); it was purchased by a friend. I'll remove the image after a bit.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 8th Mar 2013		78 RPM Various Artists - Vol. 8 Norman Granz' Jazz At The Philharmonic	Ah, forgot one step. Fixed.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th Mar 2013		78 RPM Eddy Howard - To Each His Own / Careless	First release of To Each his Own was on Majestic 7188, paired with Cynthia's In Love. To Each his Own was a #1 hit for Eddy, but both releases have that song as the designated B-side.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th Mar 2013		78 RPM Camille Howard - Has Your Love Grown Cold? / Barcarolle Boogie	The listing with "Going Home Blues" seems to have proliferated around the internet, but I have been unable to find any evidence of a Camille Howard recording with that title.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th Mar 2013		78 RPM The Hollywood Hucksters - Happy Blues / Them There Eyes	From the Billboard review: "As a vocal twosome, they make great instrumentalists".
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th Mar 2013		78 RPM Various Artists - Vol. 8 Norman Granz' Jazz At The Philharmonic	That's a good suggestion fixbutte, so I went ahead and changed the artist for both JATP albums posted so far.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 16th Feb 2013		78 RPM Earl Bostic - Bostic's Jump / Hot Sauce!	Not sure about the date for this one, it might by Dec. 1947. The Gotham issue appeared in Jan. 1948.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 15th Feb 2013		78 RPM Ray Bauduc And His Bobcats - Li'l Liza Jane / When My Sugar Walks Down The Street	Some of Bob Crosby's original Bob Cats are featured on these sides.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 9th Feb 2013		78 RPM Peggy King - You'll Get A Kick Outa Cookin' / The Hottentot	Sorry for the delay W.B. - I retrieved it from storage and yes, there is an 'H', and the matrix numbers are RR 22223 and RR 22224 for Cookin' and Hottentot respectively. Apparently it was a Hunt tomato sauce jingle featuring Peggy King that caught Mitch Miller's attention and resulted in her being signed by Columbia. I don't think that Hottentot went anywhere, but her recording of Learning To Love (Columbia 40562) did reach the charts.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 6th Feb 2013		78 RPM Earl Bostic - Serenade / Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams	I love these mini-biographies on the King promos! I can just imagine the DeeJay reciting these factoids, and sounding like an expert.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 4th Feb 2013		78 RPM Julia Lee And Her Boy Friends - (Opportunity Knocks But Once) Snatch And Grab It / I Was Wrong	For some unknown reason, my copy is numbered A40028 on one side only.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 4th Feb 2013		78 RPM Various Artists - Coast Guard Memorial	I wasn't sure whether to call this label Radiodisc or Allied Record Manufacturing. Also I called this an album, but maybe we could use a better classification. Based on various fragments of information I could find, I believe that this radio program aired in 1948. Here is a program summary: Introductions by Hy Averback and Dane Clark I'm In A Jam With Baby sung by Marilyn Maxwell Comedy skit featuring 'a sea chanty' (title unknown) with Marilyn Maxwell and Jerry Colonna You Can't Be True, Dear and You Call Everybody Darlin' by Spike Jones with Dorothy Shay Comedy skit with Bob Hope and Jane Russell Salute to Coast Guard Day with Dane Clark Semper Paratus (The Coast Guard Marching Song) by the Sportsmens Quartet
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th Jan 2013		78 RPM Duke Ellington - Don't Get Around Much Anymore (Never No Lament) / Cotton Tail	The A side was originally issued as "Never No Lament" credited to composer Duke Ellington. Bob Russell subsequently wrote lyrics, but due to the American Federation of Musicians' ban, Ellington was unable to record a new version with vocals. So Victor went ahead and re-issued the original instrumental track with a new title and writing credits, using the same catalog number. The 1943 date is for this second release with the revised title.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 11th Jan 2013		78 RPM Arlene Francis - Bendix Magic Part I / Bendix Magic Part II	[from BEATLEJOHN, Jan 10, 2012] http://majesticrecord.com/labelsspecial.htm If you go here: ..and scroll down almost to the bottom of the page, you'll find a slightly alternate version of this entry........John
LaurenceD SUBS ● 8th Jan 2013		78 RPM Johnny Dankworth - 1956 Super Rhythm Style Series	Oddly enough zabadak, that was precisely what popped into my head when I saw that song title...
LaurenceD SUBS ● 3rd Jan 2013		78 RPM Camille Howard - You Don't Love Me / X-Temperaneous Boogie	There are label variations for this release, some of which list composers "Albert, Cottrell, Glenn" for You Don't Love Me. Those would be Don Albert, Louis Cottrell Jr. and Lloyd Glenn.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 30th Dec 2012		78 RPM Nellie Lutcher And Her Rhythm - Nellie Lutcher	3 record set Individual discs numbered 10108, 10109, 10110 "There's Another Mule In Your Stall" is listed as "There's A New Mule In Your Stall" on the album cover.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 26th Dec 2012		78 RPM Stan Kenton - Artistry In Boogie / Machito	Capitol releases 15190 - 15199 are all reissues of earlier Stan Kenton instrumental tracks. At least some of these tracks seem to be alternate takes. "Artistry In Boogie" first released on Capitol 273 "Machito" first released on Capitol 408 (different session/matrix)
LaurenceD SUBS ● 26th Dec 2012		78 RPM Stan Kenton - Eager Beaver / Harlem Folk Dance	Capitol releases 15190 - 15199 are all reissues of earlier Stan Kenton instrumental tracks. At least some of these tracks seem to be alternate takes. "Harlem Folk Dance" first release on Capitol 145 "Eager Beaver" first release on Capitol 159
LaurenceD SUBS ● 26th Dec 2012		78 RPM Eddy Duchin - Eddy Duchin	Kind of odd how side 5 differs from the others.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th Dec 2012		78 RPM Criswell - 1955	This one-sided 12" record features Los Angeles TV personality The Amazing Criswell, and was available from local Philco dealerships. The recording begins with a plug for Philco and concludes reminding listeners to tune in to the KCOP-TV program "Criswell Predicts". In between, Criswell gives his predictions for the year 1955.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 17th Dec 2012		78 RPM Jimmy Stevens - Blue Tango / Josephine	The only information that I have about this label comes from a Billboard article (Sep 20, 1952, p.19). Headed by Ken Doing, Chromotone made budget releases which were sold for 59¢ in grocery stores, and described as "semi-microgroove" pressings. This issue has covers of recent hits by Leroy Anderson and Les Paul, respectively.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 11th Dec 2012		78 RPM Sarah Vaughan - You're Not The Kind / If You Could See Me Now	Looks like there was some confusion as to the placing of parentheses. Tad Dameron is the composer of If You Could See Me Now, but lyricist Carl Sigman is not credited.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 14th Jun 2014		CD Album Various Artists - Home For The Holidays Volume 3 1998	A collection of Christmas songs recorded by and for Capitol employees. In addition to the audio tracks, the CD contains a QuickTime video showing snippets of the various singers laying down the vocal tracks. I assigned the 'artist' names as they were shown on the insert. I suppose that if we eventually were to add a legitimate artist with a name such as "Human Resources", we could append [Capitol] to the one on this CD. :-)
LaurenceD SUBS ● 10th Jun 2014		CD Album R.E.M. - CD-Reference	I don't know much about this one (found it in a thrift shop), but I suspect that it's a bootleg, so I'm designating it as such unless someone knows better.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 9th Sep 2014		4-Track The Who - The Who Sings My Generation	I'm not positive about the date, but as it was manufactured by Telepro, I think 1966 is most likely, with 1967 also possible. I'm assuming that it contains the same 'reprocessed' stereo tracks (as opposed to mono) as on the Decca 'Stereo' LP, but I cannot confirm as my old Muntz player is on the fritz...
LaurenceD SUBS ● 26th Aug 2014		8-Track The Beatles - Beatles For Sale	Excellent, thanks TP! And thank you for the link as well, I seem to have missed that site before.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 26th Aug 2014		8-Track The Beatles - Beatles For Sale	Would the release date for this be 1972, same as the corresponding cassette?
LaurenceD SUBS ● 25th Aug 2014		Cassette Single Cookie Brown And The L.A. Fans - The Hideo Nomo Song	This is an adaptation of The Banana Boat Song with new lyrics about the L.A. Dodgers' pitcher. Lyricist Emmett Jones was also known as DJ John Murphy at KZLA-FM Los Angeles, and Cookie Brown was a secretary at that radio station.
LaurenceD SUBS ● 23rd Aug 2014		Cassette Album Jimi Hendrix - Mr. Pitiful	Live recordings with Curtis Knight, possibly George's Club 20, Hackensack NJ, 12/26/65 "Wolly Bully" AKA "Wooly Bully" "Left Alone" AKA "Bleeding Heart" "Have Mercy" AKA "Mercy Mercy" "Itsy Bitsy" AKA "Just A Little" "Mr. Pitiful" AKA "California Night" "I Should've Quit You" AKA "Killing Floor" Obviously a great deal of care went into the preparation of this release ;-)
