JLC135 ● 1 hour ago		Peter Dawson A: Drake Goes West B: Rolling Down To Rio	Variant A-side Twin label added. B-side appears to be the same as rocket's image {1262022}, but has a 'CI' stamped under label at 6 o'clock.

han enderman 6 hours ago		Louis Armstrong And His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra A: Just A Gigolo B: Shine	OK 41486 - Of the (normal) Bridgeport pressings of this record 4 label types are known. I have added #1 AB, #2 B (Mike Gann added #2 A), #3 AB & #4 B (#4 A is on discogs). I assume that the first West Coast pressing was released at about the same time as the eastern version, and this already indicates that the original release is on small black label. When the 13-RE label type was replaced by the 2xRE type (referring to the patent legend at 5), the labels were black. New issues in the OK 40/41000 series with this type (2xRE small black) are 41370-41564. At the same time the registration legend below the OKeh logo was much shortened. The next type, starting with 41565 Clarence Williams, has small red labels with "Not licensed for Radio Broadcast" at 10. This license statement may be absent on some reprints. After a few issues a new red type starts with 41570, with Columbia instead of OKeh in the bottom line at 8, and the legend has a different font. 41588 is the last issue in this series. Before the 2xRE small black labels, there were ELECTRIC red labels with 13-23 patents (Jan '13-May '23 at 5). The last "red 13-23" in this series is 40851 (orig. issue of 40852 not seen; example is 40848 Miff Mole), and 40853 (Venuti) is black. The 40/41000 series remains black, while the 8000 & 45000 special series are red (!).
han enderman 11 hours ago		Walter Barnes And His Royal Creolians A: How Long How Long Blues B: My Kinda Love (One Way To Paradise)	Br 4187 - A-side West Coast label image added.
Mike Gann 12 hours ago		Louis Armstrong And His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra A: Just A Gigolo B: Shine	han enderman knows more about OKeh pressings than anyone else I know excepting xiphophilos.
cyeaman SUBS 12 hours ago		Louis Armstrong And His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra A: Just A Gigolo B: Shine	I've wondered the same. Surely, there must be some OKeh label experts out there. The black labels I added are from a West Coast pressing, but the patent information and needle promotion on the red and black labels are identical. The black label pressings have small (~32 mm) pressing rings, so must pre-date the switch to 70 mm rings that happened in either 1931 or 1932.
Mike Gann 13 hours ago		Connie Boswell With Bob Crosby's Bobcats A: Martha Ah! So Pure (M'appari Tutt' Amor) B: Home On The Range	Once again, the date entry field is for release dates and not recording dates.
Mike Gann 13 hours ago		Louis Armstrong And His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra A: Just A Gigolo B: Shine	I believe the red labels were pressed before the black labels but maybe I need further schooling on this.
cyeaman SUBS 14 hours ago		Louis Armstrong And His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra A: Just A Gigolo B: Shine	Mike, why is your image an earlier pressing?
Mike Gann 14 hours ago		Louis Armstrong And His Sebastian New Cotton Club Orchestra A: Just A Gigolo B: Shine	A-side label image added from an earlier pressing
Mike Gann 14 hours ago		Foster And Harris (Ma Rainey's Boys) A: The Alley Crap Game B: Crow Jane Alley	Your efforts are appreciated once again, han enderman
cyeaman SUBS 17 hours ago		Walter Barnes And His Royal Creolians A: How Long How Long Blues B: My Kinda Love (One Way To Paradise)	Apologies for the label scratches on what is otherwise a very nice copy of this record. I don't know who "D" was but he really scratched his initial into this record deeply.
han enderman 17 hours ago		Alice Pearson A: Black Sow Blues B: Greenville Levee Blues	Pm 12547 - label images added.
cyeaman SUBS 18 hours ago		Louis Armstrong A: I Got Rhythm B: Chinatown, My Chinatown	Added a pair of images from an earlier pressing, which credits the OKeh Phonograph Corp. rather than Columbia Phonograph Company. I've also seen labels that display the OKeh needle promotion, as well as variants that drop the "©" before "OKEH" in the bottom line of text.
JLC135 ● 18 hours ago		Dawson And Mummery A: The Lost Chord Mummery And Dawson B: Watchman! What Of The Night?	Added variant A-side label with 5/8d royalty stamp.

han enderman 17th May 2024		Rev. James Beard A: Man's Ingratitude B: Memory Of Departed Friends	Pm 12449 - label images added (B-side good; A-side bad). The B-side comes from a copy with damaged A-side (almost unreadable title), and this copy is also on discogs. I have added the photo of this A-side too, as it - if not trimmed - shows the numbers in the wax: control number 483 at 6 (on label & in runout) and matrix 4139-2 (not on label) in the runout at 12.
