W.B.lbl 2nd Jul 2023		Vinyl Album Ella Fitzgerald - Misty Blue	Label type on {Images #3320386 & 3320387} from Bert-Co - and confined to Hollywood. (Jacksonville pressings used in-house L.A. plant typesetting, while Scranton of course - not even represented on the "other" database - used Keystone's type.)
W.B.lbl 30th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album John Fitzgerald Kennedy - A Memorial Album: Highlights Of Speeches Made By Our Beloved President	{Images #3314559 & 3314560} is a Capitol Scranton pressing, with lacquers cut by Capitol's New York studios - and label fonts from Keystone Printed Specialties Co., Inc. I actually have that version.
W.B.lbl 30th Jun 2023		78 RPM Zeke Williams And His Rambling Cowboys - The Cowboy's Dream / What A Friend We Have In Jesus	So here we are: 14 point Erbar Bold Condensed with Light Condensed was in the print shops of various East Coast plants of Columbia (at this juncture ARC) from January 1938 to early April 1970.
W.B.lbl 30th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Ornette Coleman - Science Fiction	If it was A3, duly corrected.
W.B.lbl 23rd Jun 2023		78 RPM The Carter Family - When The Sunset Turns The Ocean Blue To Gold / The Titanic	About the B side: Ironic the timing of putting this up, given the recent news . . .
W.B.lbl 20th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Ross Bagdasarian - A Summer Day's Delight	Definitely near the end of 1971. The label type layout - very much reminiscent of what this typesetter did for United Artists (why by then owned the David Seville / Chipmunks Liberty masters) - is a key.
W.B.lbl 10th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Carole King - Tapestry	Belongs on here, within 45cat. Already set up.
W.B.lbl 8th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Sonny And Cher - Live	Later reissued as KRS 5554
W.B.lbl 4th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Joan Baez - The Best Of Joan Baez	Roulette would be based at 1631 Broadway until 1968-69. That was because that location was adjacent to Loew's Capitol Theatre - and that entire block was torn down in '69 to make room for the 1633 Broadway office tower that replaced it (by which point Roulette relocated to 17 West 60th Street).
W.B.lbl 4th Jun 2023		Vinyl Album Joan Baez - The Best Of Joan Baez	1974 sounds about right. {Images #3303218 & 3303219} would have been from within a few years of original release, as the type shown is the same as on many a Bestway pressing - and after the mid-1970's, Roulette began making use of the Bestway plant for their product. (They were located at 17 West 60th Street at that juncture - and Emus was a subsidiary.)
W.B.lbl 31st May 2023		Vinyl Album Carson Robison And His Old Timers - Square Dance	Cat. # later reused for Little Jimmy Dickens' Greatest Hits (stereo CS 9351) in 1966.
W.B.lbl 31st May 2023		Vinyl Album "Little" Jimmy Dickens - "Little" Jimmy Dickens' Greatest Hits	The second Columbia album to bear this number. The first? In the 10" "House Party" series, a reissue of Square Dance by Carson Robison And His Old Timers, in 1955 (originally in 10" LP form as CL 6029 from 1949).
W.B.lbl 29th May 2023		Vinyl Album Roger Kellaway - Roger Kellaway Cello Quartet	Though not on here yet, here's the Columbia Pitman variant, and a Pitman promo. (As you can guess, {Images #3299244 & 3299245} is Columbia Terre Haute.)
W.B.lbl 26th May 2023		Vinyl Album Johnny Horton - The Unforgettable Johnny Horton	Short answer: No. (Fake) stereo only.
W.B.lbl 24th May 2023		Vinyl Album Zane Beck And Bobby Caldwell - Zane Beck Meets Bobby Caldwell	I take it the Bobby Caldwell is *not* the "What You Won't Do For Love" guy who passed away recently . . .
W.B.lbl 18th May 2023		Vinyl Album Harry Owens And His Royal Hawaiians - Hawaii	Label fonts from Columbia Bridgeport.
W.B.lbl 15th May 2023		78 RPM Dick Robertson - Toodle-Oo / You'll Never Go To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)	Re. the B side: 27 years before Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote "You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)."
W.B.lbl 14th May 2023		78 RPM Teddy Wilson - Guess Who / It's Like Reaching For The Moon	A Bridgeport pressing, but one of the last to feature 5 point No. 3 with Gothic No. 4 as dated back to the 1910's. I don't know why, but thereafter its use faded away, having been supplanted by 6 point No. 11 with Gothic Condensed No. 4.
W.B.lbl 14th May 2023		78 RPM Cab Calloway - When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You) / Are You In Love With Me Again?	10 point Gothic No. 13 (in tandem with Cheltenham Bold Condensed) was part of the Bridgeport type library from 1924 to 1936. This was one of the last if not THE last.
W.B.lbl 13th May 2023		78 RPM Savannah Churchill With The Striders - Once There Lived A Fool / When You Came Back To Me	Columbia Bridgeport pressed the 78; the 45 release, oddly, had all its label type by Queens Litho / Kaltman Press - and the template for the label design was apparently reused by Queens for the 45 RPM Atlantic label design, as at upper right the same "45 R. P. M." as on the first 22 years or so of Atlantic 45's was in place right there in the same spot.
W.B.lbl 11th May 2023		Vinyl Album Stan Freberg - The Best Of The Stan Freberg Shows	Looks like {Images #3287079, 3287080, 3287081 & 3287082}, being as it was around January 1962 when the 'rainbow band label with logo at 12 o'clock' was first introduced, preceded the breaking up of this set as individual albums Face The Funnies and The Madison Avenue Werewolf.
W.B.lbl 11th May 2023		Vinyl Album Tom Lehrer - An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer	{Images #3287164 & 3287165} a Columbia Pitman pressing, the label type dating that to 1968. Very rare Pitman type job. Too bad Pitman's version couldn't have been used on the Capitol-pressed {Images #1714954 & 1714955}.
W.B.lbl 11th May 2023		78 RPM Lecuona Cuban Boys - Ay! Mamá Inés / Invocando A Changó	On regular releases. The template here had 'SERIE INTERNACIONAL' on the top rim, and apparently it took awhile before a 'SERIE INTERNACIONAL' label template was fused with the newer 'RCA VICTOR' layout not on here, if this release is of any indication.
W.B.lbl 6th May 2023		78 RPM [no artist listed] - I Ain't Got Nobody Much	I presume that label would be 1.75" diameter?
W.B.lbl 6th May 2023		Vinyl Album Bobby Darin - If I Were A Carpenter	Note the songwriting credit on A6 - it was before the chap in question adopted the name "John Denver."
W.B.lbl 2nd May 2023		78 RPM The Blue Shadows - Coming On Strong / Hell Stays Open All Night Long	Was the center label more or less 3" diameter, or . . . ?
W.B.lbl 27th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album Ahmad Jamal - Chamber Music Of The New Jazz	And dates to late 1967.
W.B.lbl 27th Apr 2023		Vinyl Album Chuck Berry - Fresh Berry’s	Would that RCA Indianapolis pressing of {Images #3276124 & 3276125} have RCA Custom matrix numbers in the deadwax, given their absence from the label?
W.B.lbl 26th Apr 2023		78 RPM Ada Jones And Len Spencer - The Suffragettes	It looks by this that the typographers that set the label also had Victor as a client.
W.B.lbl 23rd Apr 2023		78 RPM The Georgians - You Better Keep Babying Baby / I've Got A Cross-Eyed Papa	I know the label itself would be ~3.5", but would anyone have any idea as to the outer and inner dimensions of the deep groove?
