xiphophilos 30th Jun 2024		78 RPM Hoosier Hot Shots - Sentimental Gentleman From Georgia / Farmer Gray	A & B sides on Melotone: [YouTube Video] B side (better sound): [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 26th Jun 2024		78 RPM Ted Lewis - Where'd You Get Those Eyes? / That's Why I Love You	I've moved up the early 1926 variants with just one line of registration text under the logo.
xiphophilos 26th Jun 2024		78 RPM Isham Jones Orchestra - Think Of Me / Play The Funny Blues	Thanks for sharing and adding the image! This is the first one I personally have seen from outside the Midwest, and it also appears on the sample image that Han uploaded: Jackson Furniture Co., 14th & Clay Streets, Oakland, Calif. But as your list shows, Han, these labels exist even in the Southeast, West and on the West Coast. "...merton, Washington", by the way, would be "Bremerton, Washington." The Ziv Furniture Co, West Division Street was in Chicago, IL.
xiphophilos 23rd Jun 2024		78 RPM Harry Parry And His Radio Rhythm Club Sextet - The 1942 Super Rhythm Style Series, No. 11 & 12	The Parlophone name lost the golden background around February/March 1942. We do have a little label guide under https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/label/parlophone It says: In May 1932, the Second New Rhythm Style Series introduced a new label design with the Parlophone name on a golden background. This design was also used on the later Super Rhythm Style Series and on the Jazz Classics Series until February 1942. Then the golden background was replaced with a blue one. From mid-1947, the R-prefix was followed by a period. From Jan. 1949, the label is surrounded by a longer patent text that takes up 2/3 of the margin.
xiphophilos 19th Jun 2024		78 RPM Mindy Carson - I Want A Television Christmas (A World Of Magic All My Own) / I Want A Television Christmas (A World Of Magic All My Own)	The matrix number prefix really is E0 (zero), not EO. E means the decade, 1950s, 0 is the year. More info at https://www.discogs.com/forum/thread/694503
xiphophilos 19th Jun 2024		78 RPM Isham Jones Orchestra - Think Of Me / Play The Funny Blues	Ran across an eighth example of these dealer stamps today, on Brunswick 2307 from October 1922. It says, "Sold By Seidel Brothers, 1115 Third Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin ☆Licensed Brunswick Dealer☆" This still keeps the evidence for this dealer promotion (March 1922- at least May 1923) limited to only five states, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
xiphophilos 19th Jun 2024		78 RPM Walter B. Rogers - Jolly Coppersmith / King Cotton March	Moved British label images uploaded here to the British release.
xiphophilos 18th Jun 2024		78 RPM Ted Lewis Jazz Band - Where Is My Daddy Now Blues / Queen Of Sheba	I've now seen this particular record with BP on A and EV (= May 1921) on the B side (here). So printing of this predictably popular record began in May 1921, two months before the scheduled release on August 20, 1921. BP may have been introduced in June 1921 and was then used for several months.
xiphophilos 16th Jun 2024		78 RPM Abe Lyman's California Orchestra - Romany Days / A New Kind Of Man	A side: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 16th Jun 2024		78 RPM Abe Lyman's California Orchestra - Romany Days / A New Kind Of Man	B side: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 13th Jun 2024		78 RPM Art Gabbard And His Dixie Melodeers - No Children Allowed / I'll Forgive But Not Forget You	Dixie 101-110 were first listed in Billboard, July 12, 1947, page 119, but probably released a few months earlier because Dixie 114 was already listed in Billboard, May 24, 1947, page 32: Advance Record Releases, Folk.
xiphophilos 13th Jun 2024		78 RPM Benny Carter - Dream Lullaby / Shoot The Works	Your belief sounds likely, but could you please provide a source that supports the very specific date you propose?
xiphophilos 12th Jun 2024		78 RPM Ben Selvin - Tamiami Trail / Poor Papa	B side: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 10th Jun 2024		78 RPM Synco Jazzers - I Love You So Much / I Won't Be Satisfied	Using AI to identify the singer is a great idea, definitely better than faking other people's voices to scam their relatives, which is what it is currently used for.
xiphophilos 10th Jun 2024		78 RPM Tommy Dorsey - On The Beach At Bali-Bali / No Regrets	The address appeared on two lines only until September 1936, so your new images are the original, and I've moved them up.
xiphophilos 10th Jun 2024		78 RPM Benny Goodman Quartet - Sweet Sue	Neat! I've moved up your Scroll images and dated the other two variants.
xiphophilos 10th Jun 2024		78 RPM Synco Jazzers - I Love You So Much / I Won't Be Satisfied	I had not yet had a chance to listen to any of the tracks. Now found them both on Youtube: A side: [YouTube Video] B side (vocals: Arthur Fields): [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 9th Jun 2024		78 RPM Synco Jazzers - I Love You So Much / I Won't Be Satisfied	Could the vocalist be Irving Kaufman, as on this side? [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 8th Jun 2024		78 RPM King Oliver And His Dixie Syncopators - Farewell Blues / Sobbin' Blues	Yes, Brunswick didn't release its records in their exact numerical order. Still, I've noticed something when when I looked at the release dates mentioned so far: February 2, 1928 March 8, 1928 April 5, 1928: They are all Thursdays early in the month. Only December 2, 1927 was a Friday. Seems like Brunswick and Vocalion released their new records only once a month, usually on the first Thursday of the month, except when the 1st was a Thursday - then it would be either Friday or the Thursday of the second week.
xiphophilos 8th Jun 2024		78 RPM King Oliver And His Dixie Syncopators - Farewell Blues / Sobbin' Blues	Then let's assume that Brunswick 3741 came out at the same time as Brunswick 3742 (Vernon Dalhart - Carson Robison), 3744 (Rodney Roger's Red Peppers), 3747 (Ben Bernie & His Hotel Roosevelt Orchestra), namely on February 2, 1928. At least two of these three releases are by white artists. I suspect that Brunswick simply didn't bother to advertise "race records" in The Talking Machine World, and they were certainly not alone in this.
xiphophilos 8th Jun 2024		78 RPM King Oliver And His Dixie Syncopators - Farewell Blues / Sobbin' Blues	Okay, I've changed the date from February 1928 to Mar. 8, 1928. I just wish we knew what these dates are based on. Unfortunately, I can't find a contemporary newspaper ad online, but those must have existed. Vocalion didn't advertise in the February 1928 Talking Machine World, so I also don't know what the Febr. 2 date for the original Vocalion issue is based on.
xiphophilos 8th Jun 2024		78 RPM King Oliver And His Dixie Syncopators - Farewell Blues / Sobbin' Blues	Brunswick 3742ff. were listed in The Talking Machine World on Brunswick's list for February 2, 1928. Brunswick's listings in TMW are rather spotty (they next advertised their April 5 list), but I am still pretty sure that this record did not get released in 1927.
xiphophilos 8th Jun 2024		78 RPM King Oliver And His Dixie Syncopators - Farewell Blues / Sobbin' Blues	Ah, I see. DAHR writes: A side (E6806): "Masters renumbered for Brunswick use as E25352-E25353. Brunswick numbers assigned on November 30, 1927." B side (E6811): "Masters renumbered for Brunswick use as E25354-E25355. Brunswick numbers assigned on November 30, 1927." The original recordings (matrices E6806 and E6811) were made for release on Vocalion 1152. Brian Rust, in Jazz and Ragtime Records, page 1269, reported the same. For some reason, Steve Abrams and Tyrone Settlemier at http://www.78discography.com/BRN3500.htm list the correct Brunswick renumberings, but then also assign matrix numbers with Chicago's C-prefix to these recordings: C903 and C906.
xiphophilos 8th Jun 2024		78 RPM King Oliver And His Dixie Syncopators - Farewell Blues / Sobbin' Blues	@DeweyGill: Where did you find these matrix numbers: 6606 E25352 Farewell Blues 6611 E25355 Sobbin’ Blues? The first one in each row looks like a typo, the second one may be a renumbering? In any case, they do not agree with the matrix numbers in Ross Laird's Brunswick discography, as reported by DAHR.
xiphophilos 8th Jun 2024		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - O Sole Mio (My Sunshine)	It seems at least the last two of the entries were by the same submitter. I've merged them now as well.
xiphophilos 8th Jun 2024		78 RPM Rega Dance Orchestra - The Vamp / My Cairo Love (Egyptian Serenade)	Added matrix numbers etched into runouts of my own blue label copy.
xiphophilos 7th Jun 2024		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - O Sole Mio (My Sunshine)	The label is a mid-1918 to fall 1923 Victrola Batwing label listing three patents (1903, 1905, and 1908) and no price notice, cf. M. W. Sherman, Collector's Guide to Victor Records, 2nd ed., page 84.
xiphophilos 5th Jun 2024		78 RPM Jimmie Lunceford - Running A Temperature / My Last Affair	A side: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 5th Jun 2024		78 RPM Jimmie Lunceford - Running A Temperature / My Last Affair	B side: [YouTube Video]
xiphophilos 5th Jun 2024		78 RPM Jimmy Dorsey - Parade Of The Milk Bottle Caps / Don't Look Now	The original Decca “Sunburst” or 3D label was used October 1934-December 1937. Starting March 1936, the matrix numbers appeared to the left of the spindle hole. From November 1936, labels list the phrase NOT LICENSED FOR RADIO BROADCAST in slightly larger fonts. January 1938-July 1941: blue Decca block letter label with Decca in 2D letters and TRADE MARK REGISTERED above the manufacturing statement "Manufactured in U.S.A • By Decca Records, Inc."
