rhythmdog ● 9th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe 5 Chimes - Rosemarie / Never Love Another | Quite rare. Unfortunately, the only available image is out of focus: popsike
|
rhythmdog ● 9th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Chimes [The 5 Chimes] - Dearest Darling / A Fool Was I | Bootlegged on 45 as by The 5 Chimes on Betta 2017. With proper respect to coveboy uploaded an image of A side in better focus.
|
rhythmdog ● 8th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Five Men Of Swing - Trolling Down The River / The Ball Room Queen | Label out of Portland, OR. Undoubtedly not the Jack Scott from Canada.
|
rhythmdog ● 8th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Chords - Sh-Boom / Little Maiden | This valuation is screwy. The first and harder press is the one with 'Cross Over The Bridge' as the flip side, on both 45 and 78.
|
rhythmdog ● 7th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Swan Silvertone Singers - Oh, How I Love Jesus / My Rock | Added promo labels
|
rhythmdog ● 7th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMLuke Jones - Jump The Boogie / Shufflin' Boogie | Note this pairing likely came after LJ-122. It has -A on both sides.
|
rhythmdog ● 5th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Lamplighters - Be-Bop Wino / Give Me | Copies exist with a typo on the A-side: "Be-Bop Wing" Added image of same.
|
rhythmdog ● 5th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMVarious Artists - Tower Of Strength / I Really Love You | Put out by Pickwick International, Inc., Long Island City 1, N.Y.
What was the intended market for these?
|
rhythmdog ● 4th Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Sandpiper Singers - You Can Fly / Second Star To The Right | The sides are continuous with no groove breaks between songs.
Likely came out the same year as the film (1953).
|
rhythmdog ● 2nd Nov 2021 |  | 78 RPMKay Kyser - Serenade Of The Bells / Pass That Peace Pipe | B side presents a conundrum. Undoubtedly verboten today, still a rollicking good time...
|
rhythmdog ● 31st Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMChuck Higgins And His Mellotones - Pachuko Hop / Motor Head Baby | With all props to Mike Gann & fredhoyt, added cleaner labels.
|
rhythmdog ● 31st Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMHarmonica Slim - I Thought I Didn't Love You / Going Back Home | Added stock labels- it seems the "I" was dropped after the test pressing.
|
rhythmdog ● 30th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Squires [Flair] - Sayonara (Let's Say Goodbye) / Mia Bella Donna | This group is unrelated to the Squires on Kicks, Mambo and Vita. It might be related to the Squires on Combo, but most sources put this group separate from both other groups although all three groups are probably from the L.A. area...
|
rhythmdog ● 30th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMMemphis Minnie - Me And My Chauffeur Blues / Can't Afford To Lose My Man | Not sure if my copy has the same labels so added images. The color seems more like the later Okeh's, and to my eyes the logo appears smaller than in Mike Gann's images.
|
rhythmdog ● 26th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMBriant Holland With The Band - (Where's The Joy?) In Nature Boy / Shock | As did at least one 78, as evidenced by the video within that link! I can only imagine that the cost for a pristine labelled 78 might have been a bit more than for my destroyed copy.
|
rhythmdog ● 25th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMEarl Bostic - That's The Groovy Thing | Also exists on a darker maroon label.
|
rhythmdog ● 25th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMRoy Brown And His Mighty Mighty Men - 'Long About Midnight / Whose Hat Is That | Hopefully, someone who knows better than I about the history of De Luxe and its numbering system will be able to fill in the month of release.
|
rhythmdog ● 24th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMTippo Lite's All Stars - Dark Skin Woman Blues / Jumping This Morning | Booted on a 45, not yet on 45cat.
|
rhythmdog ● 21st Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMChuck Higgins And His Mellotones - Bug Jump / Just Won't Treat Me Right | Thanks Mike Gann! I guess the printer wasn't in on the trick.
|
rhythmdog ● 21st Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMBig Boy Crudup - My Baby Boogies All The Time / I Wonder | As far as has so far been determined, there is no 45 of this release. Perhaps all of the 45's were ground up and recycled, but only 78's have ever surfaced.
|
rhythmdog ● 21st Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMBriant Holland With The Band - (Where's The Joy?) In Nature Boy / Shock | Sadly, the labels on my copy are quite thoroughly destroyed, although the shellac is in excellent condition. Legend (received via Candy Kane) is that the previous owner buried several pristine copies of this 78 so they wouldn't get stolen, this being one of them. Sadly, of course, water had its way with the paper labels... There are a million stories from Detroit. This is one of the weirder ones...
|
rhythmdog ● 21st Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Crows - Gee / Heartbreaker | This odd release actually does play the two sides as labelled. Each side had its own separate release on Rama. Unsure whether this also exists as a 45.
|
rhythmdog ● 10th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMChuck Higgins - Love Me Baby / I Ain't Gonna Leave Baby | both sides vocals by Geechie Howard
|
rhythmdog ● 10th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMChuck Higgins And His Mellotones - Bug Jump / Just Won't Treat Me Right | Several Chuck Higgins recordings are written by a 'V. Haven'. Perhaps 'Vernon-Haven' as written on the label should have been 'Vernon Haven'.
|
rhythmdog ● 9th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMElvis Presley - Heartbreak Hotel / I Was The One | Added another plant variation, Hollywood perhaps (H in the runout on both sides, at any rate).
|
rhythmdog ● 9th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMHadda Brooks - Rockin' The Boogie / The Man I Love | Added the red label variation with the additional musician, Jimmy Black.
|
rhythmdog ● 4th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Twigs - Song Of India / Chapel Of Memories | A variation exists, where both sides show the artists as "Sonny Woods With The Twigs" on both sides. I will add images of same.
|
rhythmdog ● 4th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMThe Coronets [Cleveland, OH] - Nadine / I'm All Alone | Allan Freed promoted this group which is not related to the late 1940's group who recorded on Columbia in the UK nor to the group who recorded on Mercer in the US.
|
rhythmdog ● 4th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMCarolina Kings - There's A Narrow Pathway To Heaven / Going On Home To Glory | Added A side label image
|
rhythmdog ● 4th Oct 2021 |  | 78 RPMJoe Williams - Mama Don't Allow Me / Delta Blues | This is the same artist as "Po' Joe Williams" and not the jazzy Joe Williams
