scrough ● 11th Apr 2022		78 RPM Phyllis Robins - It's A Hap-Hap-Happy Day / Goodnight Children Everywhere	Frank Andrews/Bill Dean Myatt list this record as being deleted from the catalogue in March 1942
scrough ● 9th Apr 2022		78 RPM M. César Vezzani - Mattinata / Les Millions D'Arlequin	Both listings are a mix of 'Gramophone' (ie pre HMV) and HMV (Disque "Gramophone") labelled releases. In the UK we have the two as separate labels, which might point the way to go.
scrough ● 27th Mar 2022		Vinyl Album Alistair Anderson - Concertina Workshop	To clarify things, 'Free Reed' was the later name for Neil Wayne's 'The Concertina Newsletter' from Issue No.12 in May 1973. (See No.1 as PDF). The magazine expanded to include a list of records of interest for sale, which became a public record sales outlet, and eventually produced its own records (see Free Reed)
scrough ● 10th Nov 2021		78 RPM Harry Marlow - Till The Boys Come Home / When Tommy Comes Marching Home	Swapped side order, moved original labels up, and tidied up
scrough ● 3rd Nov 2021		78 RPM Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra - Tiger Rag, Part 1 / Tiger Rag, Part 2	From the Decca UK biography: Decca also exported UK Brunswick issues using the BM series under its own label, with the numbers the same as the UK Brunswick issues.
scrough ● 5th Oct 2021		78 RPM Mr. Harry Champion - Down Came The Blind / Never Let Your Braces Dangle	Release dates given in biography say 1910.
scrough ● 20th Sep 2021		78 RPM Mr. Billy Wilson - Tickle Me, Timothy / I Never Heard Father Laugh So Much Before	@Pridesale: Double-sided discs were pressed by many companies from ~1907 after an Austrian court overturned a patent on them.
scrough ● 7th Sep 2021		78 RPM Alexander Prince - Il Bacio / Lost Chord	The label biography from the Karlo Adrian and Arthur Badrock book says this change happened around mid-1922. Where did your info come from?
scrough ● 29th Aug 2021		78 RPM Johnny Dodds Black Bottom Stompers - Weary Blues / New Orleans Stomp	The USA Vocalion 15362 issue (click on it) is for the original Brunswick take C794 (the crossed out matrix above) so its fairly safe to assume that the other matrix (E 22723) - only 1 different from the ranges quoted - went through the same process. DAHR and its sources are never 100% accurate.
scrough ● 29th Aug 2021		78 RPM Johnny Dodds Black Bottom Stompers - Weary Blues / New Orleans Stomp	The answer is here. The original recording was for USA Brunswick in 1927 and it was released on USA Vocalion about the same year. But Brunswick later updated the matrix and this 1952 UK Vocalion issue reflects this.
scrough ● 28th Aug 2021		78 RPM Harry Roy's Tiger-Ragamuffins - Fox Trot Medley	The No 3&4 labels are earlier (horn gramophone behind the £). Parlophone made many errors and changes in the details on labels.
scrough ● 26th Aug 2021		78 RPM Merle Travis - I Got A Mean Old Woman / Start Even	Just two extra strings, rather than the doubling up of strings on a 12 string. Travis experimented with things like this, including tunings.
scrough ● 11th Jul 2021		78 RPM Arthur Askey - The Cuckoo / All To Specification	Keith- The "first" picture is listed as the B side, so I've swapped image order.
scrough ● 17th Jun 2021		78 RPM Grand Massed Brass Bands - El Abanico / Under The Banner Of Victory	Although the lowest catalogue number to be released only on the newly merged Regal Zonophone label, this disc was not announced until the February 1933 monthly supplement. Perhaps it was accidentally omitted from the January 1933 list?
scrough ● 17th Jun 2021		78 RPM Alexander Prince - The Rosary / Ora Pro Nobis	It's PiccolomiNi, real name Théodore Henri Pontet - see here. Updated.
scrough ● 25th May 2021		78 RPM Edward Halland - Why Do The Nations / The Trumpet Shall Sound	Moved from "Edison Bell" to "Edison Bell Velvet Face" and added release date.
scrough ● 19th May 2021		78 RPM Hermanos Deniz Cuban Rhythm Band - Doucement, Doucment (Could It Be) / Alma Llanera	Thanks. We already have a list of Columbia's 'International' series around 1951 - see here - so it would have been moved to 'export' eventually.
scrough ● 1st May 2021		78 RPM Alexander Prince - Hop Scotch Schottische / The Lost Chord	Edison Bell recordings, as shown by matrix numbers. A side previously issued on Bell Disc 206 (July 1910), Velvet Face 1256 (Feb 1913), and Winner 2053 (Feb 1912) B side previously issued on Bell Disc 205 (July 1910), Velvet Face 1005 (Dec 1910), and Winner 2488 (Dec 1913)
scrough ● 29th Apr 2021		78 RPM Foden's Motor Works Band - John Peel / Minstrel Memories	'Common Sense' often doesn't apply with Columbia. This record was listed in the Columbia New Records Supplement for January 1941. That also contains a listing for releases from July to December 1940 which does not include this disc (images uploaded here). Date changed.
scrough ● 26th Mar 2021		78 RPM Mr. Harry Cove - The Wedding Glide / How D'Ye Do Miss Ragtime	This info is expanded more fully in the label biog
scrough ● 3rd Mar 2021		78 RPM La Garde Republicaine - Schottisch Des Pierrots	That's debatable Mike. The Gramophone Company was an International company from the start with each division able to choose which recordings were included in its catalogues.In 1899 Alfred Clark established a joint venture company in Paris with GramCo - Cie Français du Gramophone. Because of our lack of knowledge about where these early releases were made, we have chosen to list them in their country of recording. Note that the track description is in French, which strongly suggests a French release!
scrough ● 25th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Head Machine - Orgasm	It made £105 + £4 postage. I've added this valuation. I threw it out 5 years ago!
scrough ● 15th Jan 2021		Vinyl Album Head Machine - Orgasm	I know this isn't a sales site, but my daughter in London is selling this on ebay as she has to move flat and is decluttering. Nobody owns or wants it here, but when she saw one without a cover for £100 and one with a cover for £600 plus, she thought it was worth a try. Maybe we'll get a decent valuation to add!
scrough ● 14th Jan 2021		78 RPM Luisa Tetrazzini - La Traviata	The best we can do with most of these single sided is to add a few months onto the recording date, and then use that year, so 1911 would be acceptable here. That moves it to approximately the right area of our listings, rather than having no date which would put it in the region after the 1960s.
scrough ● 14th Dec 2020		78 RPM Chippy's Dance Band - Marabi E Lusaka / Siponono Kwa Rhodesia	EMI (South Africa) Pty Limited was established in July 1957 so the SA manufactured disc is sometime later.
scrough ● 21st Nov 2020		78 RPM Mr. Alexander Prince - Night Patrol / Concert Polka	An example of the earliest Odeon 7.5 inch double-sided record. Odeon claimed patent on double-sided records until the claim was rejected by an Austrian Court in 1906. MP3 audio here
scrough ● 19th Nov 2020		78 RPM Grand Metropole Band - La Craquette / La Mattchiche	It seems probable that the 'source' is one of the 'Bel Canto' group of many labels. Norman Field's page (see Bel Canto on this page) gives some fuller details, and note that three of the labels shown there have the reversed 'N' on 'MADE IN' that we see on the labels here.
scrough ● 9th Nov 2020		78 RPM Eddie Condon And His Rhythmakers - Yes Suh! / Song Of The Plow	Frank Andrew's notebook for Parlophone R-2810 also gives the vocalist on 'Yes Suh!' as Billy Banks.
scrough ● 25th Oct 2020		78 RPM Black Diamonds Band - Haste To The Wedding / The Mary And Dorothy	Released Aug 1922. You can get the release dates for many UK HMV 78s from our software. See this thread.
scrough ● 22nd Oct 2020		78 RPM Maria Gentile - Rigoletto	It was released May 1928. Ronald Taylor wrote a discography {link} covering most UK Columbia 12" releases up to 1930. Many of these are already entered in the next version of dating software to be issued.
