liskeard78s 21st Dec 2024		78 RPM Stanley Holloway - Gunner Joe / Runcorn Ferry	The sound quality in the available (tape recorder) video is poor. Heavily compressed. But there are some good (remastered) recordings available on YouTube. For example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI1pf7bJSnM That other old story (in similar vein, haggling for a bargain) "Three Ha'pence A Foot", 1932, can be found on YouTube direct from 78 r.p.m. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zflGtguyAR4
liskeard78s 12th Dec 2024		78 RPM Stuart Ross And Joe Sargent - Never Swat A Fly / Go Home And Tell Your Mother	1930 ! Not 1931 ! Please correct the date. According to the late Eddie Shaw's D.A.T.E.S. numbers up to R.874 were issued in 1930. As you may discover, both sides must have been recorded in 1930 (which is possibly the more relevant).
liskeard78s 12th Dec 2024		78 RPM Leslie Hutchinson - I'm Yours / I'll Be Good Because Of You	1930 ! Not 1931 ! Please correct the date. According to the late Eddie Shaw's D.A.T.E.S. numbers up to R.874 were issued in 1930. As you may discover, both sides must have been recorded in 1930 (which is possibly the more relevant).
liskeard78s 12th Dec 2024		78 RPM The Three Boswell Sisters - Heebie Jeebies / Choo Choo	I very much doubt the date "1937" Please see the G.B. Parlophone issue which dates from 1930 ! Not 1937 ! Please correct the date. As you can see already stated, both sides recorded in 1930 (which is possibly the more relevant).
liskeard78s 12th Dec 2024		78 RPM The Three Boswell Sisters - New Rhythm Style Series No. 53 & 54	1930 ! Not 1931 ! Please correct the date. According to the late Eddie Shaw's D.A.T.E.S. numbers up to R.874 were issued in 1930. As you can see already stated, both sides recorded in 1930 (which is possibly the more relevant).
liskeard78s 12th Dec 2024		78 RPM Roberto Inglez - Bruca Manigua / Something In The Wind	Please correct the date on this one and the one next to it in the list. 1947 ! Not 1931 !
liskeard78s 2nd Sep 2024		78 RPM The Beatles - From Me To You / Thank You Girl	Moderator - you may as well delete those others (or lose them somewhere). I was prompted to provide an Indian label of this disc. Found it (hiding in my external drive after all).
liskeard78s 2nd Nov 2023		78 RPM Kitty, Daisy And Lewis - Hillbilly Music / Mohair Sam	@ JLC135 - Well done, thanks! (I found the L.P. somewhere on the web and those were the two other tracks!) It would be handy if there were links to their other two albums of 78s...
liskeard78s 2nd Nov 2023		78 RPM Kitty, Daisy And Lewis - Hillbilly Music / Mohair Sam	Right, that's four of them. What's the fifth? (I have the album but still sealed, I don't want to unwrap it.)
liskeard78s 9th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album George Harrison - All Things Must Pass	@TopPopper - Maybe George should have issued a double album, with "Apple Jam" held back for separate release as a single album. Ego, the lot of it if you want my opinion. Not my bag. And didn't he get sued for the tune of "Congratulations" on "It's Johnny's Birthday"?
liskeard78s 9th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album George Harrison - All Things Must Pass	I have the SINGLE album (the ten best tracks!) from Malaysia. Bought it second hand in Plymouth, England, in the mid-1970s.

liskeard78s 9th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Moby Grape - Wow	Track A5 plays at 78 r.p.m. (as you can see if you read the small print on the labels).
liskeard78s 21st Aug 2023		78 RPM Annette Hanshaw - (I'm A Dreamer) Aren't We All? / If I Had A Talking Picture Of You	Pity about the absence of the other label. It so happens the label of the same title is missing from the 'Linked Release' (on Publix) so I can't determine the matrix no. (which is the same on both).
liskeard78s 20th Aug 2023		78 RPM Annette Hanshaw - (I'm A Dreamer) Aren't We All? / If I Had A Talking Picture Of You	Shame about the label image(s). Oh well, better than nothing. It would appear then, that one side of 2000-P was re-issued on 2007-P. (cf. https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/2007p - also linked below as 'Next by Artist'.)
liskeard78s 20th Aug 2023		78 RPM Annette Hanshaw - I'm A Dreamer	Shame about the missing label of the Annette Hanshaw side. 2007-P is half a re-issue of 2000-P. (cf. https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/2000p - also linked below as 'Previous by Artist'.)
liskeard78s 18th Aug 2023		78 RPM Frank Ferera Trio - Maui Chimes / Sonny Boy	Could that Vocal Refrain perchance be by Annette Hanshaw? (I'll check out the matrix nos. with the same two titles on other American labels.) Definitely she recorded with Ferera - I have one on U.K. Regal - "Pagan Love Song".
liskeard78s 18th Aug 2023		78 RPM Annette Hanshaw - I'm Following You! / Happy Days Are Here Again	Sorry only the one label. (Pinched from the YouTube video. Better than a blank perhaps?)
liskeard78s 18th Aug 2023		78 RPM Annette Hanshaw - I Can't Give You Anything But Love / I Must Have That Man	Sorry, only a B-side label. (Pinched from the YouTube video. Better than a blank, I decided.)
liskeard78s 18th Aug 2023		78 RPM Patsy Young - He's So Unusual / I Think You'll Like It	Sorry the labels don't match but I decided it better than a blank space. (Please, if you will, move to a 'Linked release'. But I only have the one label, pinched from the YouTube video of course.)
liskeard78s 15th Aug 2023		78 RPM Chubby Checker - Fishin' / The Jet	Videos much appreciated! Helps to decide whether to buy or not!
liskeard78s 15th Aug 2023		78 RPM The Three Professors - Yew Stept Owt Offa Dreme (You Stepped Out Of A Dream) / Vulgar Boatman Rock	Question is - who were they? (Could this be Russ Conway's sense of humour?)
liskeard78s 13th Aug 2023		78 RPM Kitty, Daisy And Lewis - Messing With My Life / Coco Nuts	Good old Mark Radcliffe for bringing these to my attention back in the day! Wonderful. I'm now proud to have all three albums. Can anyone tell me if they are mono or stereo?
liskeard78s 13th Aug 2023		78 RPM Kitty, Daisy And Lewis - Going Up The Country / The Buggin' Blues	I now have all three albums of 78s. Question is, are they all mono or stereo? (Some tracks seem to need an LP stylus to track properly; others obviously play well with the 78 stylus which is thicker. The grooves look very fine unlike the old 78s.)
liskeard78s 13th Aug 2023		78 RPM Brenda Lee - Bigelow 6-200 / Jambalaya	1956 - are you sure? - that could be the recording date but 70.185 and 70.186 are both 1960. (I have both on Brasilian 78s, both vinyl.)
liskeard78s 11th Aug 2023		78 RPM Anthony Newley - Idle On Parade / Idle Rock-A-Boogie	What! No labels? - I have this 78 (but unfortunately misprinted with the same label on both sides!) I have "Idle On Parade (from the soundtrack of the film)" CP.2066 (on both labels). The other side is CP.2065. Wonder which is which? Not played it yet. Was "Idle Rock-A-Boogie" actually the A-side? Who knows? (And who cares.) I shall have to consult ww.45cat for F.11137.
liskeard78s 30th Jul 2023		78 RPM The Shepherd Sisters - Alone (Why Must I Be Alone) / Congratulations To Someone	Lovely record. Did the girls all play triangles? Wonderful!
liskeard78s 27th Jul 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - Baby I Don't Care / Young And Beautiful	I have this 78. You say '1957' but the J matrix code = 1958, this issue at least. (In case anyone wonders, D4,D5,D6 = 1944,45,46, &c.; E2,E3,E4,F2 = 1952,53,54,55; G=56, H=57, J=58, K=59, L=60, M=61, N=62, P=63, R=64, S=65, T=66, and so on up to 1972 when they got bored with it.. Found this info in "Vinyl Dave's Book of Favourite Record Labels" - I can confirm those numbers. (Sometimes an old recording can have a later matrix code, e.g. especially with regard to Jim Reeves, as each disc has its own matrix no.)
liskeard78s 27th Jul 2023		78 RPM Duane Eddy - The Lonely One / Detour	I have this 78 - a Canadian pressing, not U.S.A., surely? (Bought from the same lot as 2 other Canadian 78s - the pressings and labels look very similar. Admittedly, the others have 'Canada' on the labels.)
liskeard78s 23rd Jul 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Hey Jude / Revolution	Thomas Edison - yes it was he! - made a short (experimental) series of long playing 78s in 1926. You had to buy a new record player to play them! - I now have four of the damn things - two 10'' ones play for 12 mins. per side (as stated on the labels) and the two 12" ones are supposed to play for 20 !! mins. per side. Haven't yet managed to check one. Fine grooves??? > Now, just take any modern 33 rpm LP and play it at 78. See if you can find one that plays for 20 mins.!!!!!
