han enderman 6th Sep 2024		Al Jolson A: Scandinavia (Sing Dose Song And Make Dose Music) Blossom Seeley B: Funeral Blues (Eat Custard And You'll Never Break A Tooth)	Co A-3382 - I have images with GJ codes in the range A-3381-3393; meaning unknown. Last BV code (i.e. the normal series) I have seen is A-3379, so maybe it was replaced here by GJ, followed by CP & BP. An EV/BP coupling is known for A-3421, but this almost looks like an error.
han enderman 6th Sep 2024		The Dorsey Brothers A: Dixie Dawn Ed Lang's Wonder Orchestra B: I Must Have That Man	Od A-221110 - This is the German release of Parlophone R-280, which also has this Eddie Lang credit. Orig. issue of B is OK 41133, as by Joe Venuti And His New Yorkers. Rust wrongly lists the reverse of 41133 (Doin' Things) for A-221110 and omits this Odeon under Dixie Dawn (Dorsey Bros 22 May 1928, OK 41050).
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		Frisco Players A: Happy Days Are Here Again Carlton Dance Orchestra B: Gee It's Great To Build A Nest	Both sides are the usual GG house band suspects- Mosiello, Sannella, Magnante, etc.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		Al Jolson A: Scandinavia (Sing Dose Song And Make Dose Music) Blossom Seeley B: Funeral Blues (Eat Custard And You'll Never Break A Tooth)	Probably a second pressing- GJ code
han enderman 6th Sep 2024		The Home Towners A: Coquette The Tip Top Club B: Down Where The Sun Goes Down	Duophone D-4019 - Label variant added, which uses a narrower font and has a different layout of the B title. I assume it is an earlier variant that was replaced by the better readable normal font. A-side image ID 1445196 is a less clear image of this label type, but possibly is dark purple instead of black. I think purple was the colour for the orig. issues at that time.
Mike Gann 6th Sep 2024		The Dorsey Brothers A: Dixie Dawn Ed Lang's Wonder Orchestra B: I Must Have That Man	I've moved it to Germany. Thank you.
han enderman 6th Sep 2024		Walkers' Corbin Ramblers A: Green Valley Waltz B: Nobody's Business	Voc 02648 - Original release added, with mx at 3 (should be moved up).
han enderman 6th Sep 2024		Al Jolson A: Liza (All The Clouds'll Roll Away) B: One Sweet Kiss	Br 4402 - West Coast labels added.
han enderman 6th Sep 2024		California Ramblers A: Magnolia B: Zula Wail	Broadway 1081 - A/B images of 2nd edition added; 1st & 3rd ed. are already present. Note misspelling Zula Wail for Zulu Wail on all editions. Recorded 27 May 1927, with vocal on side A by Ed Kirkeby as Ted Wallace. - The 3 editions couple 2 label variants, which differ in the mention of the vocal: ed.1 - both sides state "Vocal Chorus Ted Wallace" (B-side incorrect), ed.2 - wrong correction, now both sides omit the Vocal (A-side incorrect), ed.3 - correctly only the A-side mentions the vocal. Images should be rearranged, with Leedon's edition 3 as last.

DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		Rudy Vallée And His Connecticut Yankees A: Pretending B: Where Are You Dream Girl?	Thanks
Mike Gann 6th Sep 2024		Rudy Vallée And His Connecticut Yankees A: Pretending B: Where Are You Dream Girl?	DAHR is fine if they have the complete date. In a lot other cases they tend to round off into the next month. The John Bolig Bluebird and Victor discographies with the correct dates are available for downloads from mainspringpress.com. I have them all saved to my files, hence my edits.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		Rudy Vallée And His Connecticut Yankees A: Pretending B: Where Are You Dream Girl?	Release date came from DAHR. Not reliable?
Mike Gann 6th Sep 2024		Rudy Vallée And His Connecticut Yankees A: Pretending B: Where Are You Dream Girl?	Corrected. Once again, you can leave your release dates blank.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Sep 2024		Rudy Vallée And His Connecticut Yankees A: Pretending B: Where Are You Dream Girl?	“Schusters” eventually merged with Gimbels Brothers Department Stores
xiphophilos ● 5th Sep 2024		The Beatles A: We Can Work It Out B: Day Tripper	I've added the result of the Jan. 2021 ebay auction as well.
mister_tmg 5th Sep 2024		The Beatles A: We Can Work It Out B: Day Tripper	I can only see one copy having sold on eBay, based on Popsike listings. I’ve added it to the Valuations.
sheepdip1234 SUBS 5th Sep 2024		Mills Brothers A: The Glow-Worm B: After All	Added Side B scan.
Whyperion SUBS 5th Sep 2024		Four Matys Bros. A: Wasting My Tears On You B: We're Gonna Rock	Frany presumable Franny Becher ? The combo was signed with Bill Haley and into the Essex group of labels, wikipedia suggests that they were around 1954 to 1956
Mike Gann 5th Sep 2024		Wally Edwards A: Don't Tell Her (What's Happened To Me) Hotel Pennsylvania Music B: How Are You Tonight In Hawaii?	Done deal :-)
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Sep 2024		Boone, Riggs, Cuthrell A: Three Auctioneers Kay Kyser - "Speed" Riggs B: Musical Auctioneer	Speed Riggs was a tobacco auctioneer in the 1930’s, but was made famous after being discovered by the president of American Tobacco Company. His gavel drop “Sold American’’ was a tag line for Lucky Strike cigarettes, who sponsored Kay Kyser’s radio show. Aubrey”Speed” Riggs spent the better part of three decades as the voice of Lucky Strike on the Lucky Strike Hit Parade, and a frequent guest on the Kyser broadcasts. In his heyday, Speed delivered about 470 words per minute. The Wayne County (North Carolina) Public Library has posted an acetate of Speed pre-Kyser in action on YouTube. The video states 1940, I’d put it a bit earlier. Amazing to listen to.
make1968 5th Sep 2024		"Red" Hadley's Wranglers A: Brother, That's All B: Ring Out Those Bells	[YouTube Video]
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Sep 2024		Wally Edwards A: Don't Tell Her (What's Happened To Me) Hotel Pennsylvania Music B: How Are You Tonight In Hawaii?	The B side, Hotel Pennsylvania Music, is Jack Albin’s band and has nothing to do with the Ed Kirkeby (Wally Edwards) A side. Could a moderator adjust the artist category, please? Yes, I know there are some interchangeable elements in most of these studio house bands, but for identification purposes..
Mike Gann 5th Sep 2024		California Ramblers A: Magnolia B: Zula Wail	With respect to Leedon, I've added clearer A-side and B-side label images.
