45worlds: 78 RPM

The last time I encountered the Billy Dalton name on Madison it was ID'd by Country Music Records as Jack Weston. This disc, however, does not appear under Weston's name in CMR. The On-Line Discographical Project shows vocalist initials IK, which I would guess stand for...

Per Tony Russell's Country Music Records, 1921-1942, Tom Cook on the B-side is Frank Luther. In Pseudonyms on American REcords, 1892-1942, Allan Sutton indicates that Tom Cook is possibly Frank Luther on Grey Gull labels but not on Madison, based on aural evidence. This is a...

Another British 78rpm performer who has died, aged 87.

The On-Line Discographical Project offers an alternate mx of 3437 for the A-side of this disc. It is not the first time I have seen the 5000 series number shown on a Madison label disregarded as mere control number. Perhaps the bigger mystery would be why they seemed to use...

De F-8526 - label images added. These are Johnny Dankworth's first recordings, on clarinet with Mirfield's dixieland band 13 Sep 1944. Who is composer T.D. Hos? - There are too many typos in the track descriptions and notes of this entry. [Thanks, now fixed. Mod.]
