Twitster 11th Dec 2014		78 RPM Little Walter And His Jukes - My Babe / Thunder Bird	Side A: Number One hit on the R & B charts. Side A & B: Recorded in Chicago on January 25,1955 Little Walter (vocal-harmonica) The Jukes: Robert Lockwood, Jr., Leonard Caston (guitar), Willie Dixon (bass) Fred Below (drums) band chorus (backing vocals)
Twitster 11th Dec 2014		78 RPM Frank Sinatra - Two Hearts Are Better Than One / All Through The Day	Side A and B: From "Centennial Summer." Orchestra under the direction of Axel Stordahl. Arranged by Axel Stordahl. Recorded in Hollywood on February 3, 1946.
Twitster 10th Dec 2014		78 RPM Frank Sinatra - The Coffee Song (They've Got An Awful Lot Of Coffee In Brazil) / The Things We Did Last Summer	As issued the "A" side was actually "The Things We Did Last Summer", as confirmed on the Sinatra family site. However, "The Coffee Song" was the bigger hit of the two, reaching #6. "The Things We Did Last Summer" topped at #8. Shelley Fabares would revive "The Things We Did Last Summer" in 1962, but it failed to break into the Top 40.
Twitster 10th Dec 2014		78 RPM The Pied Pipers - Dream / Tabby The Cat	A war-weary nation, so close now to final victory in Europe and this tune hinting of a brighter future just around the corner. [YouTube Video]
Twitster 8th Dec 2014		78 RPM Johnny Mercer And The Pied Pipers - Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive / There's A Fellow Waiting In Poughkeepsie	Side A and B: From the Paramount Picture "Here Come The Waves". Both artists accompanied by Paul Weston And His Orchestra. In the film, released in 1944, "Ac-cent-tchu-ate The Positive" is performed by Bing Crosby and Sonny Tufts, both of whom are inexplicably in "black face". Certainly not one of Bing's stellar performances and probably why one doesn't see the movie on the Turner Classic Movies channel.
Twitster 6th Dec 2014		78 RPM Marie Greene - Easy To Love / Don't Ever Change	Side A: Accompanied by Van Cleve And His Orchestra
Twitster 6th Dec 2014		78 RPM George Paxton - Mary / Louise	In order to avoid any confusion related to A2 found on this issue, the label has suffered damage in the area between the title of A3 and the composer attribution line of A2, resulting in the tearing away of the full last name of Richard A. Whiting (father of vocalist Margaret Whiting).
Twitster 6th Dec 2014		78 RPM George Paxton - Mary / Louise	The New Friends Of Rhythm was a septet of fellow musicians led and brought together by Alan Shulman, all of whom also played with Arturo Toscanini and The NBC Symphony Orchestra. More information on Shulman may be found here
Twitster 4th Dec 2014		78 RPM The King Cole Trio - I Realize Now / Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You	The Three Suns trio consisted of brothers Al and Morty Nevins (guitar and accordion, respectively), along with their cousin Artie Dunn (vocals, organ). Also of note, Al Nevins co-founded Aldon Music Publishing Company with Don Kirshner, which was to play a very influential role in the pop music field with what was eventually to become known as "The Brill Building Sound." Additionally, Nevins was a highly successful producer at RCA. A gifted composer in his own right, Morty Nevins penned their first mega-hit "Twilight Time". Al died in 1965 at the age of 48 as a result of heart disease. Morty followed in 1990 at 73 after a brief bout with cancer. Artie passed in 1996, also 73, from unknown causes. The Three Suns were touted as First Lady Mamie Eisenhower's favorite recording group. (Obviously, Elvis Presley was never in contention for that vaunted position.)
Twitster 1st Dec 2014		78 RPM Harry Owens And His Royal Hawaiians - Aloha No Wau I Ko Maka / The Laughing Song	Graphics for this V Disc issue are currently unavailable. The spelling of the Side B2 title, as used here, is taken from the commercial Okeh 6710 issue. Listings within the Sears discography uses the same spelling.
Twitster 29th Nov 2014		78 RPM Glenn Miller - I Can't Give You Anything But Love Baby / Little Brown Jug	Side A1: Vocal by Sgt "Peanuts" Hucko. Trumpet solo by Sgt. Bernie Privin Side A2: Arranged by Miller Side B1: Featuring Kay Starr, vocalist.
Twitster 29th Nov 2014		78 RPM Glenn Miller - I Can't Give You Anything But Love Baby / Little Brown Jug	Side A: Miller was promoted to Major while stationed in Bedford, England on August 17, 1944. The unit was then known as The American Band Of The Allied Expeditionary Forces (AEF). The two titles listed here were taken from separate "I Sustain The Wings" broadcasts while the unit was still in the States and Miller was a Captain. Of course, his unit at the time of these broadcasts was known as The Army Air Forces Training Command Orchestra "I Can't Give You Anything But Love Baby" was taken from the May 13, 1944 6:00 to 6:30 p. m. NBC broadcast, while "Little Brown Jug" was the "borrowed" tune in the Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue medley of the May 27, 1944 6:00 to 6:30 p. m. NBC broadcast (both programs were repeated live for the West Coast between 11 to 11:30 p.m.). Both broadcasts were staged at the Vanderbilt Theatre in New York City. (Note: Miller was on leave during the timeframe of these programs. Sgt. Jerry Gray conducted in his stead.) As this issue was not released until August, 1945 (eight months following Miller's disappearance and presumed death), the title of Major is correct as listed on the label..

Twitster 28th Nov 2014		78 RPM Andre Kostelanetz - The First Noel / It Came Upon The Midnight Clear	By the time of this recording, the Glenn Miller-led Band of the Training Command of the AAF, had been transferred to the U. K.. Bob Carroll (real name: Marcus B. Kaufman) had been assigned as a vocalist to the Miller organization, and served with the unit from February 3, 1944 until sometime between April 23 and May 8, 1944. Up to the time of his transfer, Carroll had been assigned to the military band unit of M/Sgt Harry Bluestone in Fort Worth, Texas. It was to this band Carroll was to return upon his later transfer from the Miller organization. Bluestone and his unit, upon the transfer of Miller and his band to the European Theater of Operations in mid-June 1944, was tapped to take over responsibilities of the Training Command Orchestra to include the weekly "I Sustain The Wings" NBC radio broadcasts. It is this orchestra with whom Carroll is performing on this recording.

Twitster 12th Nov 2014		78 RPM Les Brown - Just For A Day / Is You Or Is You Ain't My Baby	As I've not been able to verify the lyrics with an example of published sheet music, I am currently unable to determine the composers of "Just For A Day" within either BMI or ASCAP databases at this time.
