Whyperion SUBS 11th Sep 2022 | | 78 RPMFrank Luther - Will The Angels Play Their Harps For Me? (A Beggar's Lament) / An Old Man's Story | Frank Luther seems to have recorded Will The Angels Play Their Harps For Me as Bud Billings (on Zonophone in the UK and Jimmie Black on Okeh in the USA. Are these all the same recordings or different sessions done (matrix numbers dont seem to match)

Whyperion SUBS 10th Sep 2022 | | 78 RPMJohnny Standley - It's In The Book (Part 1) / It's In The Book (Part 2) | so is the cat number

Whyperion SUBS 6th Sep 2022 | | 78 RPMDon Wilson - Walt Disney's Little Hiawatha Part 1 / Walt Disney's Little Hiawatha Part 2 | Still worth noting that the EMI Press ones were not the first out, for those of us that forget. Any reason why Australia was still a year behind the US 1952 release? (does licensing with Disney take that long?)
Both sides of the disc fit into one side of 7in EP https://www.45cat.com/record/fap3183

Whyperion SUBS 5th Sep 2022 | | 78 RPMRonnie Rhodes - Amy / Meet Me In My Dreams To-Night | I appear to have a different pressing with matrix numbers and made in england in different font and weight and a single outer inner pressing ring rather than the double here

Whyperion SUBS 4th Sep 2022 | | 78 RPMNat Gonella And His New Georgians - Down In Mexico / Beat Me Daddy Eight To The Bar | Down In Mexico appears on CD "VARIOUS ARTISTS - THEY PLAYED GREENS PLAYHOUSE GLASGOW... PLUS OTHER BALLROOMS , Dance Bands of the 1940s") - so that CD doesnt have the 1973 Led Zeppelin performance at Green's Playhouse.

Whyperion SUBS 4th Sep 2022 | | 78 RPMAlma Gluck - Musetta Waltz | Internet Archive
Internet Archive image is probably a Victor labelled pressing, supposedly dating from 1916 but I suspect that information relates to the recording date and not the pressing date , interestingly it has a Illinois State Library sticker on it

|
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022 | | 78 RPMCarroll Gibbons - Carroll Calls The Tunes (No. 10) | Were these 'compliations' cuts of previous recordings , or the band making a medley type new recording ?
|
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022 | | 78 RPMCarroll Gibbons And The Savoy Hotel Orpheans - Our Love Affair / Ridin' High | And the reason, generally, why the cost of 78s is so low, its because the cost of storage is so high ( unless you bought a cheap terraced house in a mining village and filled it top to bottom )
IF this one specifically were to turn up on the normal auction sites or discogs It would probably go for £6 plus postage. The likes of these probably were in the shed s/h dealer I came accross once with 3000 discs + at £5 each. Just no time to get through them and I would not have known what I was looking for. But as Mike says, a lot of these discs dont appear on later compliations, not even making it to licenced LP issues in the 50s/60s/70s which would indicate the source audio disappeared too. Many of my 78s were not on Spotify 10 years ago, a few have crept in , eg the Peggy Lee lost Capitol Recordings as collectors have sourced and cleaned up audio sources. The BBC killed its record library and so many of the later Malcolm Laycock and other presenters broadcasts were of discs from their own collection, and again the BBC killed its website archive of discs played on the shows, deeply frustrating.
