78rpm-maniac 13th Dec 2020		78 RPM Odeon-Tanz-Musik - Bo-La-Bo / Over There (1920)	Interesting record. Please let us know the matrix-numbers of that record. Maybe someone can identify that band on the record. Odeon-Tanz-Music seems to be a collective artists-name.
78rpm-maniac 30th Nov 2020		78 RPM Harry James - Night Special / King Porter Stomp (1952)	Released in Germany in 1952. I have that record as two onesided Testpressings from German Record-Pressing-plant EMI-Electrola.
78rpm-maniac 13th May 2020		78 RPM Manfred Mann - Come Tomorrow / What Did I Do Wrong? (1965)	Does "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" also exist on an Indian 78-rpm-record by Manfred Mann?
78rpm-maniac 13th May 2020		78 RPM The Swinging Blue Jeans - You're No Good / Don't You Worry About Me (1964)	Does their best known hit, "The Hippy Hippy Shake," also exist on an Indian HMV-78-rpm-record?
78rpm-maniac 23rd Apr 2020		78 RPM Eugen Wolff Mit Seinem Tanzorchester - Man soll mit dem Feuer nicht spielen... / Sassa!	BE 11842 is not the Catalogue-Nr, but the matrix-number of that record. The correct Catalogue-nr for that ODEON-records is O-31 705 Mod edit:- changed
78rpm-maniac 10th Mar 2020		78 RPM The King Sisters - In Hamburg (When The Lights Are Long) / While The Lights Are Low (1956)	This is an example for a late Capitol 78rpm as a German issue. Capitol belongs with this copy to EMI and no longer to Telefunken.
78rpm-maniac 10th Mar 2020		78 RPM Yma Sumac - Wimoweh / Babalu (1952)	Looks like a pressing for the northern countries like Sweden or Denmark. The copyright-inscription N.C.B. makes sure that is a pressing for those countries.
78rpm-maniac 10th Mar 2020		78 RPM The Beach Boys - Fun Fun Fun / Little Honda (1965)	Yeah, really cool stuff. Very exotic. But don´t play a pristine copy of that 78rpm record on an antique wind-up-gramophone, just play it on an high-end-hi-fi-record-player with 78rpm. THAT sounds great.
78rpm-maniac 18th Nov 2019		78 RPM Monsieur Bravo - Derrière La Musique Militaire (Behind The Band) (1899)	Monsieur Bravo is the pseudonym-name for the french singer Victor Lejal (2.12.1863 - 17.7.1916)
78rpm-maniac 12th Nov 2019		78 RPM La Garde Republicaine - Schottisch Des Pierrots (1904)	Hello scrough, many thanks for your additional information on the Berliner-Discs. I cannot open the Kelly Online Database in case of server-error.
78rpm-maniac 11th Nov 2019		78 RPM La Garde Republicaine - Schottisch Des Pierrots (1904)	I have some news about that old records. This one is a re-edition from around 1902, recognizable via the catalog-nr. with the X on the end. First-release-date: 1899
78rpm-maniac 11th Nov 2019		78 RPM Monsieur Bravo - Derrière La Musique Militaire (Behind The Band) (1899)	I did some research on this antique Berliner-Discs. That record is from July 1899.
78rpm-maniac 10th Sep 2019		78 RPM Evelyn Künneke - Egon / Mäcki-Boogie (1953)	It looks like a Danish pressing / Danish issue to me, not a German release, but a German recording.
78rpm-maniac 6th Aug 2018		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Too Much / (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear (1957)	Hi, the 9000 numbers are Germany-only compilations of single-records. In most cases the tracks are not available in other countries in that combination, except in Germany. It also belongs to other RCA-Stars, like Harry Belafonte.
78rpm-maniac 25th Feb 2016		78 RPM Hans Albers - In einer Sternennacht am Hafen / Einmal Noch Nach Bombay (1954)	Possibly released in 1953 or 1954. Hans Albers recorded songs during the WW2 era on the German ODEON label . These DECCA recordings are all post-war recordings from the 1950s.
78rpm-maniac 25th Jul 2015		78 RPM Perry Como - Papa Loves Mambo / Pa-Paya-Mama (1954)	Interesting to see here a German Electrola-78-rpm-record by Perry Como from 1955. Before 1956 the reproduction-rights belonged to EMi-Elecrola Germany for the US-RCA-Victor recorded material. In 1956 the recording-rights went to Telefunken-Decca Germany, and the Capitol-reproduction-rights went to EMI-Electrola from Telefunken-Decca.
78rpm-maniac 29th Apr 2015		78 RPM The Benson Orchestra Of Chicago - One Kiss / Just Like A Rainbow (1921)	Hi, cool to see the old hornless-gramphone in the Video. I have the same model as German-Gramophon Trademark, is your model the US-Victor or the UK-Gramphone-Model ?
78rpm-maniac 27th Apr 2015		78 RPM Joseph Samuels' Jazz Band - Crazy Blues / Home Again Blues (1921)	Hi Bigbadbluesman, interesting to see the old German ODEON-Issue of my US-Okeh-Version of that Song. In Germany nobody knows anything about US-Blues-Artists at that time around 1920, so the recordcompany Odeon used the inscription Orignal Amerikanische Jazzband (Original American Jazzband). So some German collectionists are able to identify the real Band-names with help of the matrix-numbers, like the German collector Horst-H. Lange with his legendary German-Discography of the Jazz-Dance-Discography of all Germany-Releases from 1908-1958. A cool book with more than 1000 pages.
78rpm-maniac 11th Aug 2014		78 RPM Bill Haley mit Haley's Comets - Crazy Man, Crazy / Whatcha Gonna Do (1954)	Hi 23skidoo, my German issue is definitely from 1954, and i have an accurate proof. I own an old German Record-catalogue from TELEFUNKEN-DECCA-Record company from March 1954, where my copy is listed for sale under the catalogue nr F 43676.
78rpm-maniac 28th Jun 2014		78 RPM Benny Goodman - Sometimes I'm Happy / King Porter (1935)	Hi, i have some recording Details for you: A-Side from 01.July 1935, B-Side (if it is the King Porter Stomp recorded 29.april 1951. Released in Germany as two different records, on Electrola and on Columbia.
78rpm-maniac 3rd May 2014		78 RPM Paul Godwin - Mikado / Die lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow) (1927)	This is an export-release by Polydor-Record. Polydor was a Label-Name by the German Gramophone Company (Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft) and that Company used the Name Polydor for export-pressings.
78rpm-maniac 24th Mar 2014		78 RPM Benny Rock And His Rocking Bennys - Rock Around The Clock / Rock-Boogie (1956)	Benny Rock and his Rocking Bennies was an alias Name for the Belgian Saxophone-Player Bernard Couroyer.
78rpm-maniac 25th Jan 2014		78 RPM Stan Kenton - Thermopolae / How High The Moon (1949)	A German-pressing with the new Capitol-label, released in Germany around 1954. The first Edition has the black-silver Label with the big Telefunken-Capitol logo. Recordings: December 1947 in Hollywood.
78rpm-maniac 24th Jan 2014		78 RPM Saxophon-Orchester Dobbri - Ich möchte einmal ein Floh sein / Was macht der Maier am Himalaja? (1927)	These old songs are now popular again with younger listeners because a German singer with his orchestra, Max Raabe und sein Palast-Orchester, recorded that old stuff from the Roaring Wwenties for today's listeners. Between the late 1980s till today, he has released some LPs and CDs. He has also appeared at the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York, and he recorded that concert on CD and on Vinyl.
78rpm-maniac 23rd Jan 2014		78 RPM Wolfgang Sauer - The Train / Night Train (1956)	A cool Modern Jazz record, done by German piano player and singer Wolfgang Sauer. He was a German popular music singer and pianist. He recorded some good Jazz records, like this one. Wolfgang Sauer was blind, and maybe he can be compared with George Shearing. Another example for a German 78rpm record from the 1950 with an original picture cover.
78rpm-maniac 23rd Jan 2014		78 RPM Udo Jürgens - Hejo, Hejo Gin Und Rum (Marianne) / Little Jim, Little Jack, Little Joe (1957)	Hi xiphophilos, some of his Songs had a Little bit a Chanson-character in the melody and rhythm, but that was in the mid sixties. Yes, Udo Jürgens startet his career in 1956. His career height was in Germany in the mid seventies.
78rpm-maniac 22nd Jan 2014		78 RPM Freddy - Sie hieß Mary-Ann (Sixteen Tons) / Heimweh (Dort, wo die Blumen blüh'n) (Memories Are Made Of This) (1956)	Freddy Quinn's megahit from 1956. The legendary two German cover versions of Dean Martin's Memory Are Made Of This and Tennessee Ernie Ford's Sixteen Tons. Freddy sold millions of copies of that record. Look at the very rare German picture cover for that 78rpm record. In Germany it was unusual to get 78rpm records with real picture covers. Most of the German 78rpm records from the 1950 had company sleeves with the label hole. Some record companies like Polydor, Electrola-EMI or Telefunken used sometimes picture hole covers or full picture covers for some artists.
78rpm-maniac 22nd Jan 2014		78 RPM Toots Thielemans Quartett - That's A Plenty / High School Cadets March (1951)	Hi fixbutte, ok, maybe 1951 is correct and not 1950. I don´t have exact recording and release-dates for that record.
78rpm-maniac 22nd Jan 2014		78 RPM Toots Thielemans Quartett - That's A Plenty / High School Cadets March (1951)	Hi Xiphophilos, various record-companies used different B-Sides or different catalouge-numbers for foreign Releases, but i don´t know why. Maybe internal decisions by the record-company Managing directors.
78rpm-maniac 6th Jan 2014		78 RPM „Polydor“ Orchestra - From The Rhine To The Danube Part I / From The Rhine To The Danube Part II (1928)	Hi, it is an Export-pressing. The regular issue for Germany has the inscription Grammophon and not Polydor.
