scrough 24th May 2023		78 RPM Theodore Chaliapine - Song Of The Flea / La Calunnia È Un Venticello (Slander Is A Whispering Zephyr)	Looks like Chaliapin recorded this twice, once for HMV and once for Victor, and presumably collected the fees twice :). So I've unlinked the two recordings, and updated this one.
scrough 24th May 2023		78 RPM Theodore Chaliapine - Song Of The Flea / La Calunnia È Un Venticello (Slander Is A Whispering Zephyr)	@Xiph - According to the Kelly database both sides were recorded in London in 1926: Mx Cc8414-2 A, B, C Studio London England Recording Date:1926-05-20 Other:-2A Title(s): [1] The song of the flea (Musorgsky) Issued:2-022034 DB932 IRX96 Size:12-inch Session Performer(s): FEDOR IVANOVICH CHALIAPIN bass (o EUGENE GOOSSENS) Recording Session Notes: (B Studio) Mx Cc8412-1A Location A, B, C Studio London England Recording Date:1926-05-20 Other:(A waxes relayed to A Studio); -1A Title(s): [1] Il Barbiere di Siviglia: La calunnia (Rossini) Issued:2-052302 DB932 IRX96 Size:12-inch Session Performer(s): FEDOR IVANOVICH CHALIAPIN bass (o EUGENE GOOSSENS) Recording Session Notes: (B Studio) Perhaps the DAHR recording notes were added in error?
scrough 24th May 2023		Book John R. Bennett - Voices Of The Past Volume 11	I learned of this book around 15 years ago, but never found a copy for sale anywhere. But last week on ebay two came up for sale from different sellers!
scrough 16th Mar 2023		78 RPM Danish State Radio Symphony Orchestra Conducted By Nicolai Marko - Caprice Italien (Italian Caprice) Op 45	Don't blame me Mike - it was submitted as the main image for this entry!!
scrough 13th Mar 2023		78 RPM Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Largo	Black labels were replaced by red in the D series in 1932. Please upload your labels.
scrough 11th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - The Dream Of Gerontius (Op.38) Prelude	This was part of Album number 386 (albums were called Record Libraries after World War 2). C.7611 -7622 was the auto-coupled version. The full list of performers on this set were Heddle Nash (tenor), Dennis Noble (baritone), Gladys Ripley (mezzo soprano), and Norman Walker (bass),along with the Huddersfield Choral Society and the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. June 1945 is the release date provided by HMV trade catalogues.
scrough 2nd Mar 2023		78 RPM Muriel Brunskill - Softly Awakes My Heart / Homing	3328R is an electrical re-recording made on 15 October 1926. Please enter your record as an new item with a release date of 1926.
scrough 19th Feb 2023		78 RPM William Starr - Set Of Jigs: Intro / Kenmuirs On An Awa' / Peter Baillie's Wife / Teviot Bridge / Set Of Irish Hornpipes: Intro / The Wonder / The Trumpet Hornpipe / The Locomotive Hornpipe	I've got F-3409 to F-3423 as released in 1951. F-3417 was released in September 1951, and F-3426 in Feb 1952 according to this Trade Catalogue. This series never had monthly releases, only a few bulk releases every year.
scrough 12th Feb 2023		78 RPM Dame Nellie Melba - Chanson Triste / By The Waters Of Minnetonka	It also seems that these records were never released in catalogue number order. The June 1925 list shows DB-835 and DB-109 on page 2, and DB-109 (Gigli) is not in the March 1924 list, only records above DA/DB 200 :(
scrough 12th Feb 2023		78 RPM Dame Nellie Melba - Chanson Triste / By The Waters Of Minnetonka	The label bio was written 10 years ago and is now well out-of-date, and I've recently PM'd xiph to say it needed updating. 1924 is given as the beginning of the DA and DB series in many places, and I suspect that many were bulk issued without announcement.
scrough 22nd Jan 2023		78 RPM Various Artists - Aida. No. 31 & 32	I've had a similar problem trying to make a table of HMV albums with cat numbers for both straight and auto-couplings. Best I could do was to list them as "Soloists, Orchestra Name, Conductor Name" where known, which for this album would have been "Soloists, Grand Milan Orchestra" which gave a little more context to the record.
scrough 18th Jan 2023		8-Track Various Artists - Juicy Giants	@ajtharp - we don't have rules, only guidelines. The admins have said that a label only image edit is acceptable, so I will continue to edit that way on any images sent 'for further editing'.
scrough 16th Jan 2023		78 RPM The Band Of H.M. Coldstream Guards - Old Comrades March / Stein Song	According to Frank Andrews this 78rpm was deleted from the UK catalogue in April 1959. But like many others, it may have appeared in a foreign HMV catalogue, and so manufacture may have continued beyond that date. He also notes that B 4501 to B 4998 were issued outside the UK.
scrough 10th Jan 2023		78 RPM Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra - Casse-Noisette (Nutcracker) Suite	Promoted earlier black labels to top. According to {this discography}, black labels were replaced by red in 1932.
scrough 30th Dec 2022		78 RPM Richard Crooks - Preislied / Gralserzählung	Many countries other than Germany used German as one of their main languages. This is therefore intended for release in one of these countries, so moved to UK export.
scrough 29th Nov 2022		78 RPM Theodore Chaliapine - Oh, Could I But Express In Song / The Blind Ploughman	Recording Angel logos normally appear when composer copyright has expired (examples here and here). But the Russian A side copyright did not apply to Malashkin (d.1902) at this time. See Copyright law of Russia
scrough 10th Nov 2022		78 RPM Arthur Peel - Playing The Game In The West / Bits Of Humour	B: Arthur Peel - Bits Of Humour Both tracks composed Formby
scrough 10th Nov 2022		78 RPM Arthur Peel - I Was Standing At The Corner Of The Street / Sequels	B: Arthur Peel - Sequels. Composer for both sides G Formby.
scrough 4th Nov 2022		Music Memorabilia Various Artists - HMV Catalogue No 2	Sorry Robert, but this edition of the No 2 catalogue is definitely 1924. The No 2 catalogue was published annually for around a decade until it was reintroduced into the annual catalogue, so which ever one you are looking at with 1930 dates in it is a later edition. And there is no such thing as a No 1 catalogue.
scrough 1st Nov 2022		78 RPM Symphony Orchestra - Symphony No. 6 In B Minor (Pathétique)	Two things need further comment. I'm trying to put a list of the HMV numbered 78rpm 'Albums' (around 470) together. But many 'Sets' were also issued. Most Albums and Sets were issued in straight couplings (as here) and auto-couplings. Many of the earlier auto-couplings were issued twice, with different catalogue numbers for each issue. Never simple is it ??
scrough 25th Oct 2022		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Medley Of Strauss Waltzes	Something awry in your logic Whyp? Mike Thomas again: 'Rex was owned by Crystalate ... In March 1937, Decca took over Crystalate ....
scrough 20th Oct 2022		78 RPM Zonophon-Ensemble - Die Erstürmung von Lüttich, I. Teil / Die Erstürmung von Lüttich, II. Teil	By a co-incidence, the UK TV programme 'The Repair Shop' restored a set of four Angels carved by Belgian refugees in the first few years of WW1. It was estimated that 250,000 had fled to the UK.
scrough 18th Oct 2022		78 RPM Eddy Arnold - That Wonderful Mother Of Mine / Mother (A Word That Means The World To Me)	The MH series are Export. See the WERM labels extract downloadable {here}.
scrough 1st Oct 2022		78 RPM Musique De La Garde Republicaine - Paris	Changed date from 1935 to 1908. Kelly database says recorded 1907, and the label fits that date much better.
scrough 30th Sep 2022		78 RPM Mantovani - Ramona / Intermezzo	Sweden, see the WERM labels extract downloadable {here}. Updated!
scrough 29th Sep 2022		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Mary Had A Little Lamb	More details of these 5-inch discs may be found on the Archeophone website. A leaflet from a London store circa 1892 can be seen here.
scrough 28th Sep 2022		78 RPM Alhambra Orchestra - Morris Dance	The dates given on the original submission of 1896 and 'recorded 10 Dec 1895' are incorrect and impossible for a Gram Co. Berliner (blame popsike source?). The Kelly database gives the correct date of 12 Oct 1898 (American recorder Fred Gaisberg uses USA date format on early records), the recording artists as The Alhambra Orchestra and no matrixes were used at this time, the 3-1 or y-1 being a code as yet not deciphered. It was released in the 2nd Gram Co list of 22 Feb 1899. I've updated
scrough 27th Sep 2022		78 RPM International Concert Orchestra - My Hero / Unrequited Love	The Recording Angel area is obscured in many earlier releases by a stick-on label showing that the copyright fees had been paid. {Example} from August 1929.
scrough 26th Sep 2022		78 RPM International Concert Orchestra - My Hero / Unrequited Love	The 'Nymph' is the Gramophone Co.'s original trademark ('Recording Angel') so perhaps your additions are earlier labels?
scrough 25th Sep 2022		78 RPM M. Marcel Maas - Toccata Et Fugue En Ut Mineur	LFX is a French and Belgian Columbia series, see the WERM labels extract downloadable {here}
