Whyperion SUBS 16th Oct 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender / Any Way You Want Me (That's How I Will Be)	NME of 12 Oct 1956 ran with story that Elvis had recorded the four songs in "Love Me Tender" by that date. NME 16 Nov 1956 had Hound Dog still selling at chart position 3 and Blue Moon in at 15. Love Me Tender in the US was Number 1 , as it had been previous week.
Whyperion SUBS 16th Oct 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Tryin' To Get To You / Lawdy, Miss Clawdy	Answering Maxonian, I think the HMV/EMI agreement with RCA expired end 1957 (though RCA for NEW releases had contracted with Decca for the UK before then). So the HMV label ones you will find are either on Sun in the US or were previous LP/EP tracks not always issued on a RCA Single in the US.
Whyperion SUBS 16th Oct 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Mystery Train / Love Me	Mystery Train from Sun USA 223 Love Me appears not to have been issued as a single in the US (was on RCA Victor USA EPA 992 (EP 1956)
Whyperion SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM Lucienne Boyer - Des Mots Nouveaux / Je Ne Savais Pas	Picked up at the weekend what appears to be an unplayed / untouched (till I dropped my fingerprints over it) copy of this amazing condition for a pre WW2 pressing.
Whyperion SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM Grand Massed Brass Bands - Deep Harmony (Sweet Is The Work, My God My King) / Rimington (Jesus Shall Reign)	Later released as A Side of Columbia EP – SEG 7610
Whyperion SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM Jean Cavall - Mayoumba / Parlez-Moi D'Amour	Another Jean Cavall in a small collection picked up at the weekend. I might get poor images up in due course
Whyperion SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Stargazers - Somebody / (My Baby Don't Love Me) No More	I have a pressing that has the slightly darker blue decca label
Whyperion SUBS 5th Mar 2023		78 RPM Ella Fitzgerald - Sentimental Journey / That's My Desire	Offered on discogs ( poss label / tax code variation/s) for GBP30 my one has Decca H embossed on one side (tax code or the oddities of Decca)
Whyperion SUBS 5th Mar 2023		78 RPM Rikki Henderson - Stay / Are You Lonesome Tonight?	I think my comment was based on a reading of how Oriole worked with the learning of the music mon tues, record weds , press thurs and out to shops friday (roughtly) of course Oriole were pressing their own stuff too, and added the 45 line AND created LPs either from existing recordings or more recordings, I would imagine the LP / EP lines were stocked either Friday night for Saturday sales or Monday to stock up Tuesday as that would be "slack" in the stores.
Whyperion SUBS 5th Mar 2023		78 RPM Alma Cogan - Love And Marriage / Sycamore Tree	Are all the labels a mid (french?) blue with scanning interpretation or did the ink run change. All release are R/T Tax Code ? Is this really worth a fiver in the UK to a buyer ?
Whyperion SUBS 3rd Mar 2023		78 RPM Ted Heath And His Music - Tequila / Little Serenade (Piccolissima Serenata)	[YouTube Video] Little Serenade
Whyperion SUBS 5th Feb 2023		78 RPM George W. Johnson - Negro Laughing Song	the omission of an artist name seems deliberate by the label and thus correct information lies in our database, information from recording resources and research properly credited is rightfully placeable in record notes , and possibly comments too if further verification on a conjecture or complex attributions is needed
Whyperion SUBS 2nd Feb 2023		78 RPM Casani Club Orchestra - Red Sails In The Sunset / Louisiana Fairy Tale	[YouTube Video] A Side

Whyperion SUBS 28th Jan 2023		78 RPM Al Bowlly And Jimmy Mesene - When That Man Is Dead and Gone / Nicky The Greek (Has Gone)	[YouTube Video] This would have been the audio, but "rights holder" blocked , unless it was a mechanical pull from a later CD 1941 is well out of mechanical copyright Vid shows one of the more Red labels which may be a scan or a print difference, without flip I cannot tell if same purchase tax code OEA 9227-1 Recorded in London April 2, 1941
Whyperion SUBS 28th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D.29	[YouTube Video] B Side Audio DR 3749 DR 3750 More xylophone on selection 3 , and rather well done too
Whyperion SUBS 27th Jan 2023		78 RPM Rikki Henderson - Stay / Are You Lonesome Tonight?	Embassy (Woolworths) had a completely different way of selling discs. Woolworths at the time only sold Embassy discs and Embassy discs could only be (generally) bought in Woolworths. Just about every town had a Woolworths, but I go a little circumspect in that It would not surprise me if some Embassy product went out to the independent (non-record) shop trades to some localities, depends how much Woolworths allowed Oriole of a market share in limited distribution supplies. That said, did Woolworths run a weekly sheet of new sides in singles, EPs and LPs, and were any not in stock available to order? What were the typical sales in any branch? Assuming Woolworths had about 450 UK Branches and sold 20 discs per branch, that's a pressing run of 10.000 per disc which seems reasonable. I could see the aim to have "hit" sides out say by the Thursday following national chart of previous Sunday would be the main idea, to ensure in shop stock for the Saturday pocket money market. Retailers also had half-day closing in many towns (was that something Woolworths honoured?) Normally Weds but adjoining places may have a Tues or Thurs, (many - Central London- had Saturday !) depended on Market Days and allowed staff to shop in a different town on their half day. Presumably some staff worked though shop closed for cleaning and re-stocking.
Whyperion SUBS 24th Jan 2023		78 RPM Bert Weedon - Theme From ITV's "64,000 Question" / Twilight Theme	lifting from wikipedia The $64,000 Question was a British quiz show based on the US format of the same name that originally ran from 19 May 1956 to 18 January 1958 produced by ATV and was originally hosted by Jerry Desmonde, and called simply The 64,000 Question with the top prize initially being 64,000 sixpences (£1,600), later doubling to 64,000 shillings (£3,200). I would love to see someone try to carry 64,000 sixpences. At that time pre 1947 sixpences and shillings were half or quarter silver so if not recently minted MIGHT have been worth more than the face value (though technically not permitted to melt UK coinage ) noted 45 version seems to have been released Dec 1956
Whyperion SUBS 23rd Jan 2023		78 RPM Various Artists - Aida. No. 31 & 32	So was it in a box , or leaf album with further artist details. 1924 seems late to me for this style, but then I was not around in 1924. Wonder how many actually sold must have cost a bit - when did libraries start offering recorded discs out on loan ?
Whyperion SUBS 21st Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - The Palais Glide / Lambeth Walk	Also on South Africa Brunswick as SA 4558 Titles are side titles with three tracks of medleys (D 45? ) on each
Whyperion SUBS 21st Jan 2023		Vinyl Album Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Selection	Charlie Kunz had earlier cut Piano Roll of Walter Donaldson Fox-Trots. A couple of the tunes feature on this LP and related EPs but I dont think all were recorded as a special to Donaldson on one disc [YouTube Video]
