vocalion red 9th Apr 2016		78 RPM Roy Acuff And His Crazy Tennesseeans - Steel Guitar Chimes / Steel Guitar Blues	I visited both sites where you made the hyperlinks. Concerning the OKeh version, where one was issued in '38 and another issued in '40, were the OKeh labels the same color and design? If so, how can anyone tell them apart for a proper dating ? Interesting. There were no photos given of the OKeh's but photos were there for the other labels .
vocalion red 8th Apr 2016		78 RPM Lew Stone - White Jazz / Blue Jazz	They sound remarkably alike.
vocalion red 8th Apr 2016		78 RPM Lew Stone - White Jazz / Blue Jazz	So....what should the ultimate recording date be, to be listed officially on this site ? Let's choose one . I choose 1934 originally. Should it remain 1935 or reverted back to '34, or, be set at 1933 ?
vocalion red 7th Apr 2016		78 RPM Harry Evans - When The Moon Is Shining (Somewhere In France) / Sweet Emalina, My Gal	My personal favorite is side B. I love the way Lewis ends the song, with a long stretched out "My Gallll". On par with the best of Al Jolson.
vocalion red 7th Apr 2016		78 RPM Louis Armstrong - (What Did I Do To Be So) Black and Blue / I Can't Give You Anything But Love	This record is a Columbia/CBS re-release of earlier recordings by Armstrong done in the late 1920's. Black And Blue was recorded on the OKeh label on 7/19/1929, (OKeh # 8714) I Can't Give You Anything But Love Baby was recorded on 3/5/1929, (OKeh # 8669 & OKeh # 41204) on their "race record labels". According to my information, this series of Columbia/CBS records was released between 1947 and 1949. They range in catalog number from 38000 to 38499. This record was owned by my father. He bought it as a teenager in the late 1940's.
vocalion red 7th Apr 2016		78 RPM Roy Acuff And His Crazy Tennesseeans - Steel Guitar Chimes / Steel Guitar Blues	There is confusion when trying to get information about OKeh / Vocalion / CBS catalog numbers during this period of merger between these companies. This record's label is worn out, so photos are not too legible.
vocalion red 7th Apr 2016		78 RPM Lew Stone - White Jazz / Blue Jazz	Well, this is certainly a mystery. According to "the online 78rpm discographical project", Decca # 487 was listed of having a release date of 11/3/1933. There was another number listed--GB 6279, which I think is a matrix number ? Could this be a British matrix number. Decca was a British company with an American branch....at least as I understand it. Could it be that the "project" mistakenly fused two different facts together in error ? I don't know. If any knowledgeable people here know if this disc should have a release date of 1935, please verify, then make a correction.
vocalion red 6th Apr 2016		78 RPM Lew Stone - White Jazz / Blue Jazz	Some call this a "Shaded" label. I call it a "Sunburst" label.
vocalion red 6th Apr 2016		78 RPM Harry Voltaire's Voice Of Central Park Orchestra - I Wonder What's Become Of Sally / Lonely Little Melody	Triangle was in business from 1922 to 1925. It is considered to be an uncommon record label.
vocalion red 5th Apr 2016		78 RPM Evans, Moule, Augarde, Farkoa, Shepard - Laughs You Have Met	This old Victor is called an "Angel Back" in collector circles because embossed on the back is what some describe as an Angel. Please see photo.
vocalion red 5th Apr 2016		78 RPM Stehl, Lufsky And Schuetze - Oft In The Stilly Night / Simple Aveu	Although by the picture, it looks like a 45 rpm disc. In fact, it is a full size 10 " disc. The spindle hole looks like a 45 rpm spindle hole but in fact, it's slightly smaller. A 45 adapter will not fit the spindle hole. I had to fabricate an adapter to play this record out of a hand cut cardboard insert. Then, try to hand punch a spindle hole into the insert as close as possible to the dead center of the insert. Otherwise the record would have an oblong turn on the turn table. United Record was in business from 1909 to 1916. I estimate the release date of this record in 1910, although it could be late 1909, 1910, or even early 1911.
