W.B.lbl 4th Mar 2024		78 RPM Nervous Norvus - Transfusion / Dig	Here's a better representation of the A side . . . [YouTube Video]
W.B.lbl 4th Mar 2024		Vinyl Album The Intruders - The Intruders Greatest Hits	Added labels (with Columbia Pitman type).
W.B.lbl 3rd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Berlin Symphony Orchestra - Shostakovitch • Kabalevsky • Prokofieff • Borodin Orchestral Works	{Image #3507759}'s deep groove looks like 68.25 / 71.5mm, no? (The pressing and label fonts, would add up to Columbia Bridgeport.)
W.B.lbl 3rd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush	{Images #3507633 & 3507635} should be spun off into its own entry; the cat. # is way different, renumbered about 1973. Images moved to 70's reissue linked below (mod.edit)
W.B.lbl 3rd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Alfred Poell - Hugo Wolf Fourteen Songs	For some reason, as a youth I got this label confused with the Westbound label of Detroit Emeralds, Denise LaSalle, Byron MacGregor and early Ohio Players fame . . .
W.B.lbl 3rd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Cast (Sesame Street) - The Sesame Street Book & Record	Have added a very rare Terre Haute 2-eye variant from early on in the run (Bob Dylan's Self Portrait was not the only one to get a 2-eye treatment from that plant at the onset).
W.B.lbl 3rd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Ernie Kovacs, Buddy Weed, Lynn Taylor - Ernie Kovacs Presents Buddy Weed And Introduces Lynn Taylor	And before Ms. Taylor joined Erik Darling and Willard Svanoe in The Rooftop Singers . . .
W.B.lbl 3rd Mar 2024		78 RPM Patty Ross - The Big Bear / Rock It, Davy, Rock It	Ahem . . . would that A side co-writer be *the* Buddy Ebsen of The Beverly Hillbillies and Barnaby Jones fame?!
W.B.lbl 2nd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Lynn Taylor - Lynn Taylor Sings I See Your Face Before Me	This wouldn't by any chance be the future Rooftop Singers (of "Walk Right In" fame) lead singer, no?
W.B.lbl 2nd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Vaughn Meader - The First Family	Had stereo Columbia pressings of this existed, no doubt the matrix numbers would have been XSV 86621 and XSV 86622.
W.B.lbl 2nd Mar 2024		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Elvis Sings For Children And Grownups Too!	Probably Research Craft.
W.B.lbl 29th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album The Blue Velvet Band - Sweet Moments With The Blue Velvet Band	Was {Images #3505233 & 3505234} an RCA Rockaway pressing perchance? I noticed both sides have a deep groove . . .
W.B.lbl 29th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Elvis Presley - Having Fun With Elvis On Stage	Note the states where Elvis, as of 1974, did NOT have concerts: Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota, South Carolina, West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
W.B.lbl 28th Feb 2024		78 RPM George Hamilton IV - A Rose And A Baby Ruth / If You Don't Know	Unlike the 78 RPM {Images #3505035 & 3505036} label, Bert-Co's 45 labels for this used the rainbow mobius strip with audio logo and label name in multi-colors, suggesting this printer did not have the 78 RPM version of the label design - unlike Queens Litho ({Images #417723 & 417724}) or Co-Service Printing ({Images #2969152 & 2969153}). It did not necessarily mean Bert-Co's label type was a first variant. Proof is on this release which labels also bear Bert-Co's typographical handiwork but which did use that design as on the other variants here.
W.B.lbl 28th Feb 2024		78 RPM Terry Gilkyson And The Easy Riders - Marianne / Goodbye Chiquita	Ahem . . . {Image #3502624} is from a Hollywood pressing with Bert-Co label fonts. Can anyone come forward with a matching B side for the Bridgeport {Image #428966}?
W.B.lbl 26th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Lonnie Smith - Finger-Lickin' Good	{Images #3502558 & 3502559} pressed between April and September 1967.
W.B.lbl 25th Feb 2024		78 RPM Lillian Glinn - All Alone And Blue / Come Home Daddy	Bridgeport labels also were die-cut at 89.5mm (3.5236") at the time, being as when pressed onto the record, they'd shrink to about 89.0mm (3.5039"). I presume the labels on Oakland's pressings were about a millimeter less (i.e. originally at 88.5mm, but when pressed appeared 88.0mm)? The small deep groove, meanwhile, was roughly 28.5mm (1.122") on the inner edge and between 31.5mm (1.2402") and 32.0mm (1.2598") on the outer edge. Also, Bridgeport's use of 10 point Gothic Condensed No. 1 dated to the mid-1910's. It was around 1927 that it popped up again on these labels.
W.B.lbl 25th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Ella Fitzgerald - Ella In Hollywood	With Columbia Bridgeport label fonts. Tell me, would the pressing ring be 68.5 or 68.75mm? (You may need to get one of those Harfington metric rulers to 0.1mm scale from Amazon, as well as a jeweler's loupe, to find out.) Incidentally, this was as MGM had acquired Verve and was about to have their own pressing plant in Bloomfield, NJ (and H.V. Waddell in Burbank, CA) turn out the label's product.
W.B.lbl 24th Feb 2024		78 RPM The Hurricanes [Audivox] - Tear Drops / I Keep Crying	I have to presume that writer Norman Kaye is one and the same as part of The Mary Kaye Trio, no?
W.B.lbl 23rd Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Funkadelic - Cosmic Slop	Here would be the Columbia Pitman variant; {Images #3500117 & 3500119} was pressed by Mid-South Record Pressing which, around this time, would become GRT Record Pressing.
W.B.lbl 21st Feb 2024		78 RPM Ella Mae Morse - Shoo-Shoo Baby / No Love, No Nothin'	The presence of Metroblack No. 2 on {Images #590954 & 590955} would indicate an Allied pressing. Clark pressings of Capitol product looked more like this example; their type fonts were identical to those of most if not all Decca pressings of this period. From what I could tell by scans, photos, etc., Clark had 16mm and 64mm pressing rings.
W.B.lbl 20th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Gordon Lightfoot - Lightfoot	1971, in fact. Research Craft pressing, Bert-Co label type.
W.B.lbl 20th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Gordon Lightfoot - Lightfoot	The Kingston Trio, in 1963, preceded both Mr. Lightfoot and Ms. Flack on "The First Time . . . "
W.B.lbl 20th Feb 2024		78 RPM The Chords - Sh-Boom / Since I Met You Baby	Also . . . wouldn't the label size at this point be a shade over 3.25"? That's presuming the pressing ring is 1.25" (31.75 mm). Their "Jukebox Classics" series of the '50's and '60's would appear to have been the last to have used the traditional 3" label size.
W.B.lbl 19th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Billy Hanafin's Shamrock Band - Traditional Irish Long Dances	New York was where the lacquers were cut. Had to have been pressed in Rockaway, NJ.
W.B.lbl 18th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Cast (Sesame Street) - The Sesame Street Book & Record	With all due respect to 'Avsredwings', have uploaded larger and somewhat brighter representation of front and back cover.
W.B.lbl 18th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album The Ray Conniff Singers - Speak To Me Of Love	{Images #3496097 & 3496100} looks like a pressing from between August and December 1965.
W.B.lbl 18th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Cast (Sesame Street) - The Sesame Street Book & Record	Have added variant with Raposo / Moss credit for A4.
W.B.lbl 18th Feb 2024		78 RPM Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys - Dreamy Eyes Waltz / My Window Faces The South	Apparently, in those days the Hollywood pressing plant's label size was 2.9375" as opposed to Bridgeport's 3".
W.B.lbl 18th Feb 2024		Vinyl Album Roy Clark - Yesterday, When I Was Young	Have added an oddity - an MGM pressing with Columbia Pitman label fonts and the pre-1968 label design.
