W.B.lbl 2nd Nov 2023		78 RPM The New Century Orchestra - Menace / City Desk	"City Desk" is perhaps most famous, in terms of use, for an about 2-second loop (between around 0:34 and 0:36) being used from the early 1960's to 1968-69 by CBS News for their hourly network radio newscasts.
W.B.lbl 1st Nov 2023		Vinyl Album Sweet - Desolation Boulevard	The UK single version - also released in the U.S. - in on this U.S. album, completely different from what was on the UK album of this.
W.B.lbl 31st Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis	This (and other compilations in other countries) came about as a direct result of Col. Tom Parker's sale of Elvis' masters from 1956-1972 to RCA itself, thus depriving "The King" of future royalties from his earlier hits; it is said the sales from this, while his newer material was dying on the charts, essentially killed his recording career in terms of making new music, with only three or four studio sessions (including at the "Jungle Room" at Graceland which was not exactly built to suit the kind of professional standards associated with actual recording studios) over the remainder of his life.
W.B.lbl 31st Oct 2023		78 RPM Rosa Ponselle - Giovanni Martinelli	That factor is EXACTLY why I don't try to quote a price on any records.
W.B.lbl 31st Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Paul Desmond - Paul Desmond and Friends	{Images #3408960 & 3408961} is an anomaly - a Columbia Bridgeport pressing with their patented label fonts (that would later migrate to Pitman after the Bridgeport plant closed in '64).
W.B.lbl 29th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album John Kay - My Sportin' Life	One key variant is, at this point, not on here: Pitman's. The other site has accounted for it, though. (And generally more put together in its layout than the Santa Maria {Images #1143119 & 1143120}.)
W.B.lbl 29th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Stonewall Jackson - All's Fair In Love 'N' War	Mono cat. # previously used for 10" "House Party" series LP Ridin' Herd by Woody Herman And His Orchestra in 1955.
W.B.lbl 29th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Woody Herman And His Orchestra - Ridin' Herd!	Cat. # later recycled for 12" mono LP All's Fair In Love 'N' War by Stonewall Jackson (stereo CS 9309) in 1966.
W.B.lbl 26th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album James Brown - Sex Machine	The version of "Sex Machine" on this record is also entirely different from the two-part single version.
W.B.lbl 25th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Percy Faith And His Orchestra - Tara's Theme From Gone With The Wind And Other Themes	Both variants (the non-CBS {Images #543154 & 543155} and the CBS {Images #3403807 & 3403808}) are Terre Haute; here is how Bridgeport's typesetting layout (used both on their and Pitman's pressings) would have looked like. (That was non-CBS, B.T.W.)
W.B.lbl 22nd Oct 2023		78 RPM Ralph Crane - Away For Rio / Blow The Man Down	Begs the question as to the diameter of the A side {Image #3402629} center label and pressing ring, compared to the B side {Image #3402630}.
W.B.lbl 21st Oct 2023		78 RPM Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra - Afternoon Of A Faun	By any label name, this was taken out of the catalogue once Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra recorded a newer version in late 1940 for 1941 release (Victor Red Seal / RCA Victor Red Seal 17700).
W.B.lbl 20th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album John Stewart - Bombs Away Dream Babies	The album's title came from a phrase his Kingston Trio predecessor, Dave Guard, used in lieu of a countdown to a song's beginning. Incidentally, Guard and his daughter Catherine were among the backing vocalists on "Comin' Out Of Nowhere."
W.B.lbl 19th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Kingston Trio - The Last Month Of The Year	Added the Scranton labels to make it more or less complete. (Unless someone in this community has an L.A. variant somewhere.)
W.B.lbl 18th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Kingston Trio - The Last Month Of The Year	Mono Scranton label variant added.
W.B.lbl 18th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Humble Pie - Humble Pie	And here would be the Columbia Pitman variant.
W.B.lbl 18th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Johnny Mathis - Love Is Blue	Terre Haute's {Images #2360511 & 2360512} layout is amateur hour. A shame someone didn't bring the Pitman variant to the fore here. Even Terre Haute must've thought so, as later copies they turned out used the Pitman type. Oh, and there was also a mono ish' of this as CL 2837 (XLP 136050 / XLP 136051).
W.B.lbl 18th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Anita Harris - Just Loving You	Something tells me that had this had a U.S. release (Columbia in the States issued the title track and "Anniversary Waltz" as singles), there would've been some futzing with the tracks and their order. Putting in a few (such as "Butterfly With Coloured Wings"; with A4 retitled "Comes The Night (Carol's Theme)") and taking some out (namely that Beatles' medley). May've had a cat. # like CS 9615, who knows.
W.B.lbl 17th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Dick Gregory - Dick Gregory Talks Turkey	Just a question: Do you have an HP ScanJet? I've used that for my scans for the last 20 years . . . I ask because of the colorimetry of {Images #3397385 & 3397387} - a Columbia Bridgeport pressing, by the label type.
W.B.lbl 17th Oct 2023		78 RPM Sir Thomas Beecham And Royal Philharmonic Orch. - On Hearing The First Cuckoo In Spring	Wonder what the label diameter would be - 3.5"? And the inner and outer dimensions of the deep groove; I actually saw such a larger deep groove on another post-1931 Columbia 78 pressing way back when.
W.B.lbl 16th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Mahalia Jackson - Mahalia Sings	Are the labels uncoated? If so, looks like your pressing is from somewhere between October and November 1967.
W.B.lbl 16th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Ronnie Aldrich - Reflections	Two of Benny Hill's backups.
W.B.lbl 16th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - The History Of Rhythm & Blues Vol. 6: On Broadway 1963-64	{Images #3397332 & 3397333} is an RCA Record Club edition pressing from Indianapolis. Original pressings presumably would've had the green and blue color scheme (and 'STEREO' in white-type Clarendon Medium near the top). As on here. Or, more to the point, here.
W.B.lbl 13th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Kingston Trio - Time To Think	Have added the Scranton variant of this ish'.
W.B.lbl 13th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Roberta Flack - First Take	Added c.1971-72 Columbia Pitman labels, probably dating to when "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was climbing up the singles chart.
W.B.lbl 12th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Larry Blake With Robert Connelly And Jack F. Fuller - "The Complacent Americans"	Everything - the cover (both front and back) and labels - were typeset by Bert-Co.
W.B.lbl 8th Oct 2023		78 RPM Harry James - One O'Clock Jump / Two O'Clock Jump	The "For perfect tone..." language first showed up in January 1942, hence {Images #1444450 & 1444451} without that blurb has been moved to before {Images #1005513 & 1005514} which do have it.
W.B.lbl 8th Oct 2023		78 RPM Various Artists - Theme Songs	{Images #3391526 & 3391528} was a Hollywood pressing, the rest bear Bridgeport label fonts.
W.B.lbl 8th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz: Red Hot And Cool	More specifically, as on here.
W.B.lbl 8th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz: Red Hot And Cool	Or maybe a sop to the powerful UK printers' unions?
