rocket78 SUBS 20th May 2024		78 RPM Dawson And Mummery - The Lost Chord / Watchman! What Of The Night?	Same 2 songs on same Cat# with same Matrix Nos but with different singers issued on Zonophone Twin which could indicate an earlier issue. Maybe this issue is a correction?.
rocket78 SUBS 20th May 2024		78 RPM Messrs. Peter Dawson And Ernest Pike - The Lost Chord / Watchman, What Of The Night?	Not sure what has happened here. A later(?) issue on the Zonophone ZR label with the same Cat# and the same Matrix Nos shows the same 2 songs but with different singers - Dawson and Mummery. Maybe the later issue was a correction?
rocket78 SUBS 18th May 2024		78 RPM Harry Lauder - It's Just Like Being At Hame / Roaming In The Gloaming	Added even later label scans. Matrix for "Roaming" side is A11122.
rocket78 SUBS 5th Jun 2023		Live Music 10cc @ Isaac Theatre Royal	Lighting was terrible but the concert was great.
rocket78 SUBS 26th Aug 2019		78 RPM Percy Nicholls - A Dream / Serenata	A Columbia/Process Recording as listed here
rocket78 SUBS 24th Aug 2019		78 RPM Percy Nicholls - Vale / Ave Maria	Process Recording as listed here
rocket78 SUBS 30th Jun 2018		78 RPM Gladys Moncrieff - Heavenly Night / Along The Road Of My Dreams	[YouTube Video] "B" Side "Along The Road Of My Dreams"
rocket78 SUBS 25th Jun 2018		78 RPM Joe Loss - Festival Hop / Rose, Rose, I Love You	"A" and "B" Side Label Images now uploaded.
rocket78 SUBS 21st Jun 2018		78 RPM Vaughn Monroe - Meet Me Tonight In Dreamland / The Blues Of The Record Man	[YouTube Video] Wonderful story from yester-year - even relevant today.
rocket78 SUBS 26th Oct 2017		78 RPM [no artist listed] - National Anthem Of Great Britain	The V. Hely-Hutchinson mentioned on 6 of the 7 tracks was appointed Director of Music for the BBC in 1944 and was both an Arranger and Conductor - as well as Composer and an accomplished pianist. However he died in 1947 so presumably his involvement was in the arrangement rather than the conducting although it is hard to tell in the Choral track whether they are singing "God Save The King" or "God Save The Queen". Gordon Jacob, who is mentioned in the Choral track title, is attributed to composing/arranging the Fanfare for the National Anthem for the Queen Elizabeth's Coronation in 1953 so it would suggest that these tracks were recorded around this time.
rocket78 SUBS 22nd Oct 2017		78 RPM [no artist listed] - "Warsaw" Concerto	No artist listed on label but judging by the Matrix Nos it's the "London Symphony Orchestra" as per Columbia UK issue DX1062.
rocket78 SUBS 17th Oct 2017		78 RPM Tamburitza Orchestra Jorgovan - Oj Ti Vilo Velebita (The Fairy Of Mountain Velebit) / Lijepo Ti Je Reno Uraniti (It's Nice To Be Up At Dawn)	Listed here as an "Ethnic" release in June 1926.
rocket78 SUBS 15th Oct 2017		78 RPM Besses O' Th' Barn Band - Deep Harmony / Lascelles	Label variation images now uploaded.
rocket78 SUBS 15th Oct 2017		78 RPM Besses O' Th' Barn Band - The Church's One Foundation / Lead, Kindly Light	Label variation images uploaded.
rocket78 SUBS 15th Oct 2017		78 RPM Dick Robertson - She Had To Go And Lose It At The Astor / Ma (He's Making Eyes At Me)	What indeed did she "lose at the Astor" you may well ask? (Which is probably why it was banned by the BBC in 1940.) However, turns out all she lost was her "sable cape".
rocket78 SUBS 15th Oct 2017		78 RPM W. Norcross - The Girl He Left Behind / The Wistling Bowery Boy	Very different label which also indicates "Pressed Abroad". According to www.tedstaunton.com was pressed in Germany pre WW1.
rocket78 SUBS 12th Oct 2017		78 RPM A Church Choir - Christians Awake ! / Lo ! He Comes With Clouds Descending	Added further label variations.
rocket78 SUBS 11th Oct 2017		78 RPM Sestetto Del Villaggio - Gloria Caruso / Luna D'Argento	"A" Side [YouTube Video]
rocket78 SUBS 9th Oct 2017		78 RPM Grammophon-Orchester - Dichter Und Bauer	"Polydor" label on "A" side, "Grammophon" label on "B" side. "1928" in run-off?
rocket78 SUBS 2nd Aug 2017		78 RPM Ruru Karaitiana Quintette - Blue Smoke (Kohu Auwahi) / Senorita	[YouTube Video]
rocket78 SUBS 30th Jul 2017		78 RPM Ruru Karaitiana Quintette - Blue Smoke (Kohu Auwahi) / Senorita	First song written by a New Zealander, to be recorded and manufactured in New Zealand and to be released on a NZ Label. More information here.
rocket78 SUBS 22nd Feb 2017		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Three Steps To Heaven / Cut Across Shorty	Thanks mister_tmg for what, for me at least, was a very interesting Link listing later London 78's. Certainly adds to the "Unreleased" debate.
rocket78 SUBS 14th Feb 2017		78 RPM Madame Deering - The Bonnie Banks Of Loch Lomond	All entries on this label - apart from Export Issues - have a date entered against them so some eagle-eyed member must have access to these dates which I cannot find anywhere. This is the last of 9 just entered so 9 more for updating!
rocket78 SUBS 29th May 2015		78 RPM Mr. Thorpe Bates - Four Jolly Sailormen	Could this be the earliest non-returnable record?
rocket78 SUBS 23rd Oct 2014		78 RPM Bobby Hackett And His Jam Band - That Old Gang Of Mine / After I Say I'm Sorry	Different release with same Cat# 270 already uploaded. No idea why although archive.org here indicates this #270 may have been listed elsewhere as #269? Release date 1944 - not 1945?
rocket78 SUBS 18th Oct 2014		78 RPM The Platters - The Great Pretender / I'm Just A Dancing Partner	"Non-identical" releases need to be un-linked (from the USA issue?). Linked records must have same titles on both sides. [Mod: correctly linked now]
rocket78 SUBS 6th Oct 2014		78 RPM Winifred Atwell - Britannia Rag / Dixie Boogie	Signed photo sticker on "A" side says "Sincerely Winifred".
rocket78 SUBS 3rd Oct 2014		78 RPM The Ink Spots - Yesterdays / Planting Rice	Artist entered as "The Ink Spots" but technically I guess label should have shown "The New Ink Spots" or "Charlie Fuqua's Ink Spots". However, all line-ups - legitimate or otherwise - appear to be grouped together on 45worlds as well. Would be a "can of worms" if they weren't!
rocket78 SUBS 3rd Oct 2014		78 RPM The Francini Trio - Herd Girl's Dream / Love's Garden	Came across this today when looking for 45's in a NZ Op Shop and thought it looked "a bit old". Whilst I can account for its whereabouts for today, I've no idea about the previous 36,499 days...
