xiphophilos 15th Feb 2024		78 RPM Nat "King" Cole - Non Dimenticar (Don't Forget) / Bend A Little My Way	Congrats on your 45cat birthday!
xiphophilos 14th Feb 2024		78 RPM Edward F. Rubsam - American Beauty Mazurka	I think you are right. Rubsam is the featured performer, whereas the Columbia Band only provides accompaniment.
xiphophilos 14th Feb 2024		78 RPM Edward F. Rubsam - American Beauty Mazurka	Moved artist back to the featured soloist Edward F. Rubsam per your suggestion at https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/0141, Mike.
xiphophilos 14th Feb 2024		78 RPM Tex Williams And His Western Caravan - Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) / Roundup Polka	This record was the first Capitol record that sold 1,000,000 copies, according to Peter La Chapelle, "That Mean Ol' Oakie Boogie", page 154.
xiphophilos 14th Feb 2024		78 RPM Al Jolson - Someone Else May Be There While I'm Gone / When The Red, Red, Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along	Side indicators appeared on Brunswick labels attached with a hyphen to the catalog numbers only until December 1948, so Redpunk's copy is the original one. The other two, without any side indicator, must both be from 1949 because of the CT tax code (in force April 9, 1948 - December 31, 1949). I'm not sure, however, why they don't list A & B above the catalog number, like other Brunswick labels between 1949 and May/June 1950.
xiphophilos 9th Feb 2024		78 RPM "Fats" Waller - Honeysuckle Rose / Your Feet's Too Big	Thank you for that info, victor-freak! The entry has been corrected.
xiphophilos 6th Feb 2024		78 RPM Elton Hayes - All Round My Hat / The Unquiet Grave	I darkly remember that I had read or heard many years ago that it is not necessary to enter Traditional where it shows up. It is, of course, a stand-in for saying that the composer is simply unknown. But I have seen others add it, and I personally think there is nothing wrong with doing so and have probably entered it a couple of times myself.
xiphophilos 5th Feb 2024		Book Gaius Julius Caesar - Commentarii	Uploaded a scan of my own copy now.
xiphophilos 2nd Feb 2024		78 RPM Artie Shaw - Nightmare (Theme Song) / Non-Stop Flight	Thanks, Dale. Here's the film clip that I uploaded several years ago. Hope it's now working again: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 1st Feb 2024		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Der Fuehrer's Face / I Wanna Go Back To West Virginia	Here's a link to the cartoon: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 1st Feb 2024		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Der Fuehrer's Face / I Wanna Go Back To West Virginia	By November 2, 1942, so within 1.5 months, the record had already sold 200,000 copies. "Der Fuehrer's Face" was so popular that Disney changed the title of its animated short from "Nuttsey Land" to "Der Fuehrer's Face". So all labels that list the movie title as "Der Fuehrer's Face" are represses from November 1942 or later.
xiphophilos 31st Jan 2024		78 RPM "Hobo" Jack Turner - The Bum Song / Hallelujah! I'm A Bum	Ron just added a new entry with label pics for Puritone 1015-S at https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/1015sus. So I have turned this entry, which no one has yet claimed to own, into the Harmony 705-H version.
xiphophilos 28th Jan 2024		78 RPM Charles Warren - Pal Of My Cradle Days / West Of The Great Divide	A side: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 26th Jan 2024		78 RPM Jan Rokkette - Date At Eight / I'm Waiting Just For You	A side: [YouTube Video] B side: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 26th Jan 2024		78 RPM Jan Rokkette - Date At Eight / I'm Waiting Just For You	Comment by submitter Alex H: Found this one quite interesting!. never heard of the band but there’s a few songs of theirs on YouTube under the name “Anyox”. Not sure when this record was released but maybe perhaps 1960s??. I don’t know honestly. Maybe someone else knows
xiphophilos 26th Jan 2024		78 RPM "Fats" Waller And His Rhythm - I Wanna Hear Swing Songs / That Get's It, Mr. Joe	Both labels here are represses with purchase tax code ST (in force April 10, 1946 - November 12, 1947). Images 880849 and 880851 are the older ones, printed between April 10, 1946 and May 1946. The two images you just added, Redpunk, 3474675 and 3474676, reflect the May 1946 change in label design when HMV labels switched to the shorter lower margin text of “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” only (= Han Enderman’s label design #C6 at http://early78s.uk/hmv-record-labels-on-the-b-series-1912-1958/).
xiphophilos 23rd Jan 2024		78 RPM Ted Lewis - Sally, Won't You Come Back / Second Hand Rose	The Gold Band Label with Exclusive Artist inside the golden band was used from February 1921-Oct. 1922, cf. Mike Sherman & Kurt Nauck, "Note The Notes: An Illustrated History of the Columbia Record Label 1901-1958," page 29. Thus, the version without BP label printing date code must be from 1922.
xiphophilos 23rd Jan 2024		78 RPM Ted Lewis - Limehouse Blues / Roses Of Picardy	The original labels have now been moved up.
xiphophilos 16th Jan 2024		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Parlotosos	Or is it Ignacy Podgórski i jego Nadzwyczajna Orkiestra, playing "Krakowiak z Malopolski" (Victor matrix BRC-70515): https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/matrix/detail/800036717/BRC-70515-Krakowiak_z_Malopolski from 1931? But the label looks nothing like the Victor test pressing labels in Mike Sherman's "Collector's Guide for Victor Records," pages 216-217. It also doesn't look the like Columbia Test Record or Test Pressing labels in Mike Sherman & Kurt Nauck, "Note The Notes: An Illustrated History of the Columbia Record Label 1901-1958," page 60. All of these display the company name prominently.
xiphophilos 16th Jan 2024		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Parlotosos	The title can't be right. Is there anything on this record that confirms that this is a recording from 1921?
xiphophilos 16th Jan 2024		78 RPM Frank Munn - As Time Goes By / Make Believe	R.C. Chuffe is not the composer of these titles, so I have removed that name from the entry above. Chuffe was the collector that owned and maybe produced this private recording. He could have done this in a record store (they offered such services) or even at home, if he owned the right kind of record player that allowed him to copy other records onto a blank or record them from the radio. "audiodisc" was a very common brand for these blank records. "As Time Goes By" was written by Herman Hupfeld and recorded by Jacques Renard & his Orchestra in NYC October 17, 1931, with vocals by Frank Munn. It was released on Brunswick 6205, but sales were disappointing. After the film was included in the 1942 movie "Casablanca", Brunswick reissued it in 1943 because everyone suddenly wanted the song, and it couldn't be bought anywhere. "Make Believe" was written by Jack Shilkret and M. K. Jerome and recorded, for example, by Paul Whiteman and his orchestra in 1921 (released on Victor 18742). In 1949, it became more of a hit, this time credited to Jack Shilkret and Benny Davis, and was recorded by Vaughn Monroe (RCA Victor 20-3531) and Sarah Vaughn (Columbia 38559). Another song with the same title, by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, was part of the musical "Show Boat" and recorded, e.g., by Guy Lombardo And His Royal Canadians in 1946 (Decca 18789). Johnny Guarnieri (Majestic 1035) Who knows what the actual name of the performer on this record is? Nelus Mie Yegat doesn't seem likely, but without an image, we will never know.
xiphophilos 16th Jan 2024		78 RPM Frank Munn - As Time Goes By / Make Believe	This is another silly valuation for a so-called "acetate." These audiodisc recordings are not test pressings or demos by then unknown, but now famous groups like the Beatles. Those would be collectible. These are simply home recordings, the predecessors of blank cassettes. They are literally worth nothing. Here's some more reliable info about these home recordings, together with images of typiocal blank labels: https://www.audioconservation.com/homemade-record-database/ This site dates your audiodisc label to the mid- to late 1940s, which seems correct.
xiphophilos 16th Jan 2024		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Parlotosos	One man's junk is another man's treasure. ;-)
xiphophilos 14th Jan 2024		78 RPM Paul Whiteman - Valencia / No More Worryin'	I'm probably opening a can of worms here, but I am no longer quite as sure that Victor's release date was _always_ or even "nearly always" the last Friday of the previous month, as fixbutte claims above. The Talking Machine World, May 15, 1917, page 78d features an article that is directly relevant to the question: "Victor Co. Announces Change in 'Opening Day'" Monthly List of Records to Be Released on the First of Months Instead of the 28th of the Preceding Month as Formerly – Change Effective with August Supplement." The article mentions that the 28th had been the "Opening Day" since 1906 (actually 1905, see note below), but transportation difficulties and a vote of the dealers motivated a change in practice: "The first of the current month (as indicated by the date on the supplement) is, beginning August 1, to be the simultaneous "Opening Day" for new Victor records. When the first of the month falls on a Sunday or a holiday, the preceding day is then to become the simultaneous "opening day."" Note: The 28th was introduced as "Opening Day" in The Talking Machine World, January 15, 1905, page 3. Based on this, it seems as if Victor releases came out on the 28th of the previous month only between January 15, 1905 and May 15, 1917. Starting June 1, 1917, the release date was the 1st of the month.
xiphophilos 13th Jan 2024		78 RPM Al Jolson - California, Here I Come / Rock-a-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody	According to M. Ruppli (1996), The Decca Labels: A Discography, vol. 1: The California Sessions, page 264, these tracks were recorded on March 27, 1946, not February 27, 1946.
xiphophilos 13th Jan 2024		78 RPM Frank Luther - That Big Rock-Candy Mountain / The Bowery Bums	Available on Internet Archive: A side B side
xiphophilos 13th Jan 2024		78 RPM Strassmeier Dachauer Bauernkapelle - Tegernseer Ländler (Country Waltz From "Tegernsee") / Werdenfelser Trompeten-Ländler (Werdenfelser Trumpet Waltz)	A & B sides (on BY = February 1918 repress): [YouTube Video]
