thebluesneverdie 15th Mar 2014		78 RPM Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You / Little Demon	Very true, and PYE were just as bad!!
thebluesneverdie 11th Mar 2014		78 RPM Elvis Presley - I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone / How Do You Think I Feel	The last RCA sourced issue on HMV was this item by Elvis. The "sell-off" period for EMI was until end of January 1958. POP-428 was issued end of December 1957, and was only available a month, until 31st January 1958. Was in charts when deleted, but shops had been advised, and ordered in bulk, pushing it into the charts. Copies of this on a 45 were still on many better shops shelves well into the sixties (quite rare on a 78 by 1958). All Elvis HMV issues after All Shook Up (June 1957) were earlier issued songs from the first two LP's. This final single was culled from the two HMV albums (Rock & Roll 1, and Rock & Roll 2).
thebluesneverdie 11th Mar 2014		78 RPM Sonny Terry Trio - Hootin' Blues / Bop! Goes The Weasel	The Sonny Terry track was recorded in England whilst the artist was over here with various other Blues artists i.e. Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy, Lonnie Johnson etc.
thebluesneverdie 11th Mar 2014		78 RPM Bill Snyder - Bewitched / Drifting Sands	The Parlophone issue was around the same time as the London issue. Was also issued on a 45, i.e., MSP-6005. Unusual, as the source of the record is US-London, and it should only have been issued via UK-London, as were all other issues from this source, e.g., Matty O'Neil, etc., etc.
thebluesneverdie 11th Mar 2014		78 RPM Bill Snyder - Bewitched / Drifting Sands	The American source of this record was from the US-London label. (Later UK issues were prefixed as HL, i.e., Home London).
thebluesneverdie 25th Feb 2014		78 RPM Glenn Miller - It Must Be Jelly (Cause Jam Don't Shake Like That) / Rainbow Rhapsody	Interesting. Frankie "Half-Pint" Jaxon was a female impersonator (famous for the song "Fan It", beloved of later Western-Swing bands). The song had a re-surgence in 1955, when Sun records issued a Rockabilly version by Carl Perkins entitled "Gone Gone Gone".
