moondog ● 20th Nov 2021		78 RPM Ritchie Valens - Come On Let's Go / Dooby Dooby Wah	Discographies show this 45/78 was issued in Nov 58 and it takes a very brave person to say that it wasn't. Bob Keane (Del-Fi owner) licensed this to Pye Int and there is every good reason to think that he considered Dooby Dooby Wah was a better flip for the UK issue as it's more Valens-like in style. "Framed" was a old Leiber/Stoller r&b comedy song from the Robins (pre-Coasters) and arguably not suited to Valens high voice especially the talk lines in the song. The LP shows Keane, under his real name of Kuhn, co-wrote Dooby so maybe royalties came into it too. Bob Keane as label owner/producer was in a position to do whatever he wanted with Valens' catalogue - which he sure did.
moondog ● 2nd Oct 2021		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Kunz Revivals, No.1	This is No 1 in the series of 26 Kunz Revivals which issued previous releases on the Sterno (1-8) and Rex (9-26). Most are straight re-issues but at least 3 mix sides from two 78s.
moondog ● 13th Aug 2021		78 RPM Chico Arnez And His Latin American Orchestra - Yashmak / Ain't She Sweet	Both sides engineered by Joe Meek. Yashmak was also written by him under his pseudonym Duke.
moondog ● 12th Jun 2021		78 RPM Teddy Johnson - All Or Nothing At All / Song For Sweethearts	Engineered by Joe Meek
moondog ● 9th May 2021		78 RPM The Kentucky Minstrels - Christopher Robin Is Saying His Prayers / The Better Land	This list shows all 21 recordings issued on 78s and is complete.
moondog ● 2nd Feb 2021		Vinyl Album Tony Osborne, His Piano And His Orchestra - Where In The World?	This is Nixa's first stereo LP and it seems the label design was rather fancy but the standard plum colour label was used in due course.
moondog ● 25th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - "All The Winners" Melody Maker Jazz Poll 1958-9	This is the last LP issued in the 10" NJT series
moondog ● 20th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Harry Arnold And His Concert Orchestra - In The Still Of The Night	The sleeve clearly suggests the labels have been incorrectly designated A & B for the track order.intended by Nixa.
moondog ● 19th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Harmonica Rhythms	UK issues on the London label had a prefix of H to denote "Home" followed by - APB. Unless uploader has missed off the H this record must be a US issue.
moondog ● 6th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Dick Katz - Kool For Katz	This is the last 10" LP issued in the NPT series
moondog ● 1st Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Nina And Frederik - Nina And Frederik	Sleeve scans uploaded
moondog ● 1st Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Don Carlos And His Orchestra - The World's Greatest Rumbas	Interesting sticker where this LP spent part of its life.
moondog ● 23rd Dec 2020		78 RPM Chuck Berry - Sweet Little Rock And Roll / Joe Joe Gun	B side scan added and clearer scan of A side. {Sorted. Mod.}
moondog ● 16th Dec 2020		78 RPM The Kentucky Minstrels - Christopher Robin Is Saying His Prayers / The Better Land	This 78 is the last in the series of HMV recordings by the Kentucky Minstrels in the 1930's and 40s.
moondog ● 10th Nov 2020		78 RPM Steve Race And His Tic-Tac Men - Glendora / Wedding Bells	There were a total of 19 issues in the BM series recorded in England for the UK market. This one appears to be the only one also issued in Germany - Polydor 22823
moondog ● 2nd Oct 2020		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Jazz Piano Rareties	This album completes the London Origins of Jazz Series. The series was deleted in 1959.
moondog ● 20th Sep 2020		78 RPM The Supersonics - Cherokee / Linger Awhile	This issue comes from US Rainbow records and was titled "New Cherokee Boogie" and by the Super-Sonics (with hyphen). I suspect UK London felt the need to revert to the original and proper title of "Cherokee" for copyright reasons.
moondog ● 20th Sep 2020		78 RPM Jackie Davis Trio - They Can't Take That Away From Me / Autumn In New York	According to the RIS London catalogue the sides should be reversed despite the matrix numbers. The Gershwin tune is much more accessible and enjoyable to the general listener and I think UK London made the right decision. "Autumn In New York" is very much an acquired taste. [Sides have been switched. Mod]
moondog ● 12th Sep 2020		Vinyl Album Chico Arnez And His Latin American Orchestra - This Is Chico	Chico Arnez was actually trumpeter Jackie Davies from Streatham cashing in on the Latin-American craze and making a career from it. This LP was engineered by Joe Meek who was brilliant with percussion sounds which this LP demonstrates.
moondog ● 5th Aug 2020		78 RPM Johnny Dee - Sittin' In The Balcony / A-Plus Love	Silly label error with the B side title which should be "A-Plus In Love"
moondog ● 21st Jun 2020		Vinyl Album Chris Barber's Jazz Band And Skiffle Group - New Orleans Joys	My copy of this LP is in a non-laminated card sleeve with the date shown as CP 54.11. I suggest this is the first issue in November 1954. Melody Maker were clearly a bit behind in their reviews.
moondog ● 9th Jun 2020		78 RPM Don And Lou Robertson - Gamblin' Fever / On The Hudson Day Line	This 78 was issued in the UK in 1950 on London L 629
moondog ● 4th Apr 2020		78 RPM Randolph Sutton - Is Izzy Azzy Woz? / Mademoiselle Pomme-De-Terre	Review This is a clever and very catchy novelty song. Izzy is ill in bed and verses end with:- " I am Izzy's lawyer and I called around because I want to know is Izzy worse or Izzy azzy woz" Great stuff! 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
moondog ● 9th Jan 2020		78 RPM Gale Warning - Met Rock / Heartbreak Hotel	This was actress/singer Frances Day recording under a jokey name to match the shipping areas listed in Met Rock for Nixa and famously engineered by Joe Meek.
moondog ● 10th Dec 2019		78 RPM Carl Brisson - Let Me Hold Your Hand, Dear / When The Love Bird Leaves The Nest	I bet Bamboo's Zonophone 78 doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the version uploaded. For 1927 the quality is outstanding.
moondog ● 12th Aug 2019		78 RPM [no artist listed] - ?	It seems that this song is My Name Is Written Down by Rosie Hibler from a 1951 Folkways recording. YouTube clearly gives all this together with the more listenable version.
moondog ● 21st Apr 2019		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - The "Kunz" Medley	I'm sure Dr Doom will be happy to see clearer labels uploaded.
moondog ● 29th Mar 2019		78 RPM Frann Weigle - My Diary Of Broken Dreams / Rockin' Chair	Review The US London label shows the artist as: The Multiple Voices of Frann Weigle. The A side is like the Ink Spots and the flip is like the Mills Bros. The male vocal group sound would clearly have been created by multi-tracking. For 1949 it's a great effort and very enjoyable. 7 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
moondog ● 26th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Mr. Acker Bilk With The Leon Young String Chorale - Stranger On The Shore	Both mono & stereo formats were issued together but not until May 1962 despite the hit single in 1961. Amendments to both entries are required.
moondog ● 10th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Chris Barber And His Jazz Band - Jazz Sacred And Secular	Side 1 label only as same label pressed on both sides - hence composer missing entries.
