Tony P 5th Apr 2013 | | 78 RPMBig Bill Broonzy - Black Brown And White (Get Back, Get Back) / Feelin' Low Down | I remember the Mike Raven programmes and still have a few recorded on tape. These include a prog where he played the Johnny Burnette trio 10" Coral LP. This resulted in the record being reissued on Ace of Hearts label.

Tony P 4th Apr 2013 | | 78 RPMNorman Brooks - A Sky-Blue Shirt And A Rainbow Tie / This Waltz With You | Quite a few earlier London 78's had this letter N. What does it signify?
|
Tony P 21st Feb 2013 | | 78 RPMBilly Cotton - Under The Willow Tree / Symphony | Yesterday I saw about 50 Billy Cotton 78's for sale, quite a few having the red REX labels.
They were £1 each so I didn't buy any.

Tony P 14th Feb 2013 | | 78 RPMDon Porto's Accordion Band - For You Rio Rita / Give Me Your Hand Little Lady | By a strange coincidence I have just spotted one of the SC ones on ebay:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/St-James-Church-London-The-First-Nowell-8-78-ECLIPSE-SC22-/360592795309?pt=UK_Records&hash=item53f50166ad

Tony P 13th Feb 2013 | | 78 RPMDon Porto's Accordion Band - For You Rio Rita / Give Me Your Hand Little Lady | This is one of several eclipse records I have added to 78worlds.
They used to belong to my mother. One other she had which I stupidly sold years ago had the songs: 'There's a Song in Every Bottle' and 'What Should You Give a Nudist for her Birthday'. I have recollections that there was also one with a blue label.

Tony P 11th Feb 2013 | | 78 RPMJohnny And The Hurricanes - Rocking Goose / Revival | I have now looked in the NME for the period and although there are Decca Company adverts for HL9142, 9162 and 9190 they make no mention of a 78 issue. On the other hand the advert for 9121 (Ricky Nelson) says it is available as a 78 altho my Paul Peletier London listing doesn't give this as a 78.
|
Tony P 10th Feb 2013 | | 78 RPMJohnny And The Hurricanes - Rocking Goose / Revival | Interestingly the last London 78 listed in the New Records catalogue and in the Gramophone Popular Record Catalogue is HLW9104.
9111, 9134, 9142, 9157, 9161, 9162, 9188 and 9190 are listed as 45 only.
The last 78 in the New Records is Nov. 1960: Oriole CB1567: Phil Tate Orch.: Never on Sunday
