rhythmdog🍰 22nd Apr 2024 |  | 78 RPMWillie Mae Thornton - Walking Blues / Rock A Bye Baby | This seems fairly rare. Only two sales of the 78 and none of the 45 (known to exist) were documented at popsike.
|
rhythmdog🍰 22nd Apr 2024 |  | 78 RPMWillie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton - Hound Dog / Rock A Bye Baby | This pairing is a whole lot rarer on 78 than the original pairing with "Night Mare" as the flip. I must have looked at at least 100, maybe 150 sales of "Hound Dog" on 78, and found exactly one which had "Rock A Bye Baby" on the flip. Although there was no image of that side, based on the seller's description it is clear that each side must have used their original labels, as the listing called the record number 1647. The image of the "Hound Dog" side doesn't show any differences from one version of the 1953 labels.
|
rhythmdog🍰 22nd Apr 2024 |  | 78 RPMWillie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton - Hound Dog / Rock A Bye Baby | This pairing didn't occur until 1955 at the earliest (which is when "Rock A Bye Baby" was first released on Peacock 1647), and more likely than not came about because of Elvis' hit, so 1956 is the most likely date.

|
rhythmdog🍰 20th Apr 2024 |  | 78 RPMThe Shirelles - Tonight's The Night / Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow Boys | Are both songs actually present on the disc? Of course on the 45, they are the two sides of Scepter 1211. However, only "Boys" is Scepter "1211B" as shown on this side of the 78 and the sellers do not specify that both songs are present.

rhythmdog🍰 9th Apr 2024 |  | 78 RPMJumpin' George - Bucket Blues / Go Bounce | This 78 on offer from 50s expert Galen Gart, who says it's San Francisco DJ "Jumpin' " George Oxford, and dates from ca. 1953. Label not listed in "The R&B Indies".
|
rhythmdog🍰 9th Apr 2024 |  | 78 RPMThe Four Sharps [Ajax] - Santa Claus Shuffle / Christmas Blues | The sides are marked as "103" and "103-A", which here becomes the B side.
|
rhythmdog🍰 26th Mar 2024 |  | 78 RPMArtells Dickson - I'm Going To Marry 'Arry / Dere'll Be No Distinction Dere | It was said at Discogs that this artist was active in Ohio and Indiana in the 1920's and that one feature of his act was to impersonate Harry Lauder.
|
rhythmdog🍰 4th Mar 2024 |  | 78 RPMThe Balladiers - Forget Me Not / What Will I Tell My Heart | I wonder if "Joel Turner" might actually be Joel Turnero? At the time of this release, Joel Turnero was in New York, and The Balladiers are known to have been a New York group. Apparently both of their Aladdin sides were actually recorded in 1947. That might be too early for Joel Turnero - or not.
The Promo copies of this record seem more prevalent than the stock copies. "Prevalent" in this context meaning the difference between a few copies and almost none.
Finally, Aladdin 3122 and 3124 came out in February of 1952, so apparently either the label held this back more than a year or, a year after its release they sent copies for review. I lean towards the second possibility, because there is only one "known" copy of the 45 of this record, which would be less likely to be the case had it been released in 1953.

rhythmdog🍰 25th Feb 2024 |  | Vinyl AlbumCliff Nobles - Pony The Horse | This LP contains some very rare doowop/teen singles from the early 60's:
Tracks A2, A3 are both sides of Cinema JR-102 by Cliff Nobles - his first 45 from 1961.
Tracks B1, B2 are both sides of Astro JR-101 / JR-102 by Webb Dixon (who is credited as singing lead on those sides on this LP),
Tracks B3, B4 are both sides of Astro JR-32-109 originally credited to "Bennie Martin" (who is credited as singing lead on those sides on this LP),
and Tracks A5 (credited to Webb Dixon) and B5 (credited to Bennie Martin) are so far untraced, but might also belong to an early single or two early singles from the same labels (either Astro or Cinema).

rhythmdog🍰 4th Feb 2024 |  | 78 RPMThe Velvet Sounds - Sing A Song Of Xmas Cheer / Hanging Up My Christmas Stocking (Christmas Mambo) | I don't think it is that simple. Take a listen to many Babs Gonzales tunes, for example. The fact is, the set of musical genres supplied is woefully inadequate to the task and so, I think of the second genre as modifying the first. For example, "Religious" just isn't adequate to delineate gospel from hymnal...
So, there is room to argue regarding your black-and-white assertion.

rhythmdog🍰 29th Jan 2024 |  | 78 RPMThe Silhouettes - Get A Job / I Am Lonely | In early 1958, on blue label with US Ember design. Also issued on a plain yellow label with black print. This alternate yellow press might be first per Discogs, but then again, on the 45 with the yellow label, the runout is from a later master (not having the original Kaiser/Junior matrix number). My guess is that the demand was high and Phonodisc turned to an unknown other plant/printer to meet demand.
