RadnaNotions 7th Mar 2013 | | 78 RPMThe B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra - "Casse Noisette" Suite | I believe these would have been released about 1926-27. Columbias generally ran at 80 I think right up until the merger with HMV. Both this and 9261 have the ST tax code stamped into them, so presumably these copies are from about 20 years later - when 78 was the norm. Possibly it's a typo on the 9261 label?

RadnaNotions 3rd Mar 2013 | | 78 RPMBilly Cotton - Horsey, Horsey / Maybelle, Maybelle | I have a few dates for Rex noted from back issues of Gramophone. I've got 9169 down as being reviewed in January 1938, so it seems quite likely that this is from 1937.

RadnaNotions 17th Feb 2013 | | 78 RPM[no artist listed] - Much Binding In The Marsh / Much Binding In The Marsh | I can only guess that someone who worked for John W. Gray in Scarborough decided to record the show off the radio. I bought it in a charity shop in Hull.

RadnaNotions 16th Feb 2013 | | 78 RPMDurium Dance Band With Carson Robison And His Pioneers - Ev'rybody's Going But Me / Get Away Old Man | Although I think they were both connected to the Italian Durium label, I don't think this label (which ran 1932-33) had anything to do with the later UK Durium label. These records are cardboard coated in a material I think was actually known as Durium.
Generally they play quite well. Unless someone has folded them. Despite the billing on this one, I think this is simply Carson Robison and His Pioneers, recorded in London.

RadnaNotions 6th Feb 2013 | | 78 RPMLeslie Sarony - Constantinople / Ice Cream | Yes, I think I've got an Imperial that couples the same two songs, and the first title is normally spelled out, as it is in the song. Which would have been handy for me as it turns out to be a word I have trouble spelling.

RadnaNotions 29th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMBand Of H.M. Scots Guards - William Tell Part 1 / William Tell Part 2 | If I search for "Radio" as a label, I get Radio (1) and Edison Bell Radio (18) listed. If I choose Radio then this disc appears alongside all the Edison Bell Radio discs (as it should because it's the same label) but if I choose Edison Bell Radio then this disc doesn't appear.
Although I don't have any on both labels, I have 812 with an Edison Bell Radio label, and I'd imagine earlier copies of that have a Radio label - it's just a label variation really. Is it possible to make both names more or less completely interchangeable?

RadnaNotions 28th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMFrankie Howerd - English As She Is Spoken / I'm The Man Who's Deputising For The Bull | Although Wikipedia does give 1952 for this, that does make the cat no well out of sequence. The tax code is DT rather than DTP, which ought to place the disc between 1948 and 1950. Sykes was writing for Howerd in the forties, so... Anyone?
