moondog 8th Dec 2018		Vinyl Album Chris Barber And His Jazz Band - Jazz Sacred And Secular	Lonnie Donegan is vocalist on Tracks A2 and B3
moondog 25th Oct 2018		78 RPM Billy Daniels - I Need Your Love / You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To	This record was engineered by Joe Meek and is quite a rare find.
moondog 7th Jul 2018		78 RPM Gerard Calvi - Sur La Plage (On The Beach) / Vacances (Holiday Time)	Interesting to note that Benny Hill chose Sur la Plage as one of his Desert Island Discs in 1959. It has a comedic edge to it with male & female sighs during the record which did nothing but ruin an otherwise pleasant tune.
moondog 27th May 2018		78 RPM Al Morgan - Always / Memories	London Cat # 880 was not issued in the UK so this is a mystery entry. If we could have some scans from contributor that might help.
moondog 26th May 2018		Vinyl Album The Lansdowne Orchestra And The George Mitchell Choir - The Blue And The Grey	This LP was re-issued in the 60s on the World Record Club label when it was revealed that the singers featured on the album were: Val Doonican, John Boulter, Andy Cole, Benny Lee & Rita Williams
moondog 26th May 2018		Vinyl Album Sonny Terry And Brownie McGhee - Blues Is My Companion	Engineered by Joe Meek
moondog 26th May 2018		Vinyl Album Johnny Duncan And The Blue Grass Boys - Johnny Duncan's Tennessee Songbag	This LP famously engineered by Joe Meek as shown on sleeve.
moondog 19th Apr 2018		Vinyl Album Carson Robison And His Pleasant Valley Boys - Square Dances	The Devil's Britches whilst in a dance tempo has no annoying calls is a superb instrumental and an all-time favourite of mine of the era.
moondog 22nd Mar 2018		78 RPM The Platters - The Great Pretender / Only You (And You Alone)	The vinyl 78s were designed for standard 78 playing so no change of stylus was needed. You had the best of both worlds - loud 78 format and unlike the shellac, a non-scratchy surface. Your 45/33 stylus would be probably be wrecked by using in a 78 groove.
moondog 14th Jan 2018		78 RPM Soloist And Members Of The Chorus And State Opera Orchestra - Lohengrin Part V / Lohengrin Part VI	I think you will find that this 12" is a German issue as there are others with this catalogue No. sequence to confirm this.
moondog 30th Aug 2017		78 RPM Roy Hall - Three Alley Cats / Diggin' The Boogie	With a nod to Gene R, a more in focus A side uploaded
moondog 12th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Kaleidoscope - Faintly Blowing	On a Friday in the late 70s I walked into a record shop in Aldershot which was closing down the following day. There were just a dozen or so LPs left in the racks. Unknown to me was Faintly Blowing so I bought it for 25p. When I played it I was stunned that such a record could be so unknown and unwanted - why else would it be still there when almost all others had gone? It was a gem of a find. I still have it - mint and with no watermark!
moondog 12th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Lonnie Donegan With His Skiffle Group - Lonnie Donegan Showcase	Since these are 1956 recordings they can't be in real stereo so goodness knows how much these tracks have been ruined by "artificial" stereo.
moondog 8th Jun 2017		78 RPM The Super-Sonics - New Guitar Boogie Shuffle / Sheik Of Araby	This 78 was issued on UK London as Supersonics. It is guitarist Billy Mure who went on to record many records in the 50s using the word Super-sonic to describe his dynamic playing style which was brilliant and certainly a rival to Les Paul with his inventiveness. He is fairly easy to research.
moondog 7th Jun 2017		78 RPM Lorry Raine - Strangers / Anna From Havana	This can't be a UK issue so any ideas anyone?
moondog 4th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Elaine And Derek - Elaine And Derek	Thank goodness the Beatles were just around the corner which effectively scuppered the making of such awful records as this. I don't know what Norman Newell was thinking of...
moondog 3rd Mar 2017		78 RPM Geraldo - Braziliera / Portuguese Washerwoman	This a well known 78 engineered by Joe Meek. It's a good example of his genius in the world of big band recording.
moondog 27th Dec 2016		78 RPM Bobby Rydell - Kissin' Time / You'll Never Tame Me	@neilthompson30 You mean like I said in the Notes section....
moondog 14th Dec 2016		78 RPM Caterina Valente - Flamingo / Someday Sweetheart	This is the last 78 issued in the BM series.
moondog 11th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Dorothy Squires - Sings Billy Reid	sleeve uploaded
moondog 10th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album José Motos - Viva Flamenco!	This was Motos' second LP recorded in the UK. The first "Introducing JM" was issued on Top Rank and engineered by Joe Meek, supervised by Denis Preston in 1959. His flamenco playing is acknowledged as some of the best you can hear - a touch of genius. His output was small as he died very young in his 40s - I don't know when but it's likely to have been in the 60s.
moondog 8th Dec 2016		Vinyl Album Diana Dors - Swingin' Dors	A pity but this LP was issued in mono despite the fact it was recorded in true stereo at Pye studios and engineered by Joe Meek assisted by Adrian Kerridge.
moondog 21st Oct 2016		78 RPM Jackie Davies And His Quartet - Land Of Make Believe / Over The Rainbow	Jackie Davies aka Chico Arnez
moondog 19th Sep 2016		78 RPM Jack Teter Trio - Johnson Rag / Back Of The Yards	Gold label images uploaded
moondog 21st Aug 2016		78 RPM Gracie Fields - Gracie In The Theatre Part 1 There's A Cabin In The Pines, Whiskers And All / Gracie In The Theatre Part 1 The Punch And Judy Show, The Rochdale Hounds	Album front cover and inside cover uploaded for this 3 x 78 set.
moondog 2nd May 2016		78 RPM Guy Mitchell - Rock-A-Billy / Got A Feeling	sheepdip 1234 - Suggest you take a look at Guy Mitchell's 45 of C'Mon Let's Go where the Philips 78/45 matter is discussed.
moondog 10th Apr 2016		78 RPM The Four Knights - I Love The Sunshine Of Your Smile / Walkin' And Whistlin' Blues	I've always liked this track too with its echo and sound effects. I reckon even Joe Meek would have been proud of this.
moondog 29th Oct 2015		78 RPM Geraldo - The Man With The Mandolin / The Day We Meet Again	Date of issue added. I have the complete B D catalogue
moondog 14th Oct 2015		78 RPM Miss Jessie Broughton And Stanley Kirkby - If You Were The Only Boy In The World And I Were The Only Girl / Another Little Drink Wouldn't Do Us Any Harm	Brown / gold labels added with clearer text - presumably a later issue than the blue label?
moondog 22nd Sep 2015		78 RPM John Lee Hooker - Need Somebody / Too Much Boogie	@thebluesneverdie Try as I might I still fail to see the point of uploading images of such bad quality as these.
