Bel-Tone - Latest Updates

Fixed the matrix numbers and titles. In terms of the recording place, I followed Robert L. Campbell and Robert Pruter's Gold Seal discography. The background vocals on "That's Liberty" from the same session were by a group called "The Hollywoodsmen", which seems to support Hollywood rather than New York as the place of recording.

Bel-Tone 0255-0256 - images added of 1st & 2nd edition - cat.nr, track details & notes have to be corrected. I have images of 2 copies of the original release (with white label Beatty), which thus is as described below by slholzer & rubedoowop. But a later pressing/printing has red labels on both sides; images from archive, which also has the music (on archive, the link to the reverse is lower on the webpage). It seems that the record as advertised was never issued.

This was his first commercially issued 78, and features his first recordings, cut in 1945. Prague Frank's discography of Frankie Laine says the tracks were recorded in New York, although this link says the location was Hollywood. See Gold Seal website.

I have the 78 on Bel-Tone and slholzer is correct - the flip side IS 'You're a Character, Dear" by Wini Beatty. The label is solid gray with a plain block print logo, as if the label was an afterthought. B-side cat# is S-0256 - A-side is exactly like the related photos above.
