78rpm-maniac 6th Jan 2014		78 RPM The Deep River Boys - Rock-A-Beatin' Boogie / Just A Little Bit More! (1956)	Hi, your record is a regular UK-release. [mod. comment - entry corrected]
78rpm-maniac 6th Jan 2014		78 RPM Benjamino Gigli - Du Bist Mein Glück (Tu Sei La Vita Mia) / Notte A Venezia (Venezianische Barcarole) (1936)	Hi Graham7, if Bruno Seidler-Winkler accompanies a singer, the record should be from around the 1930 released.
78rpm-maniac 6th Jan 2014		78 RPM Eugen Wolff - Would You? / San Francisco	Wow, this is a rare record with two different Artists on it. The only Connection is the Music from the film. According to my list is the Bram Martin recording from December, the fifth 1936. Recorded in London. Eugen Wolff is well known in Germany as a singer of German movie-soundtracks, during the 1930s. He recorded normally on ODEON-records.
78rpm-maniac 6th Jan 2014		78 RPM Bernard Etté - Tango Erotique / Montevideo (1926)	Dear Admin, please Change 10-Inch into 12-Inch. Thanks. Mod: done!
78rpm-maniac 5th Jan 2014		78 RPM Stan Kenton - Laura / Jump For Joe (1951)	Just look at the two Labels. The black-silver Label with the big inscription Telefunken was the first Label of the German Issues. The purple-silver Label design followed around 1954. Another German-pressing of Stan Kenton Songs. Just look at the new purple Label design. The Recordings are: May, the 27th, 1951 in Hollywood. Originally first released with the old-styled German Label in black-silver colours with the big Telefunken inscription.
78rpm-maniac 1st Jan 2014		78 RPM Rex Stewart - Blue Lou / Bei dir war es immer so schön (1948)	An East German pressing by Rex Stewart, an American jazz trumpet player. Possibly the first American jazz musician who played in the German Democratic Republic in 1948. The record company AMIGA was founded on March 17th, 1947 as a record company with music publishing house by the German musician Ernst Busch. AMIGA released a lot of dance music, popular songs in German, socialistic propaganda songs, classical recordings and national anthems from the other communistic sister states. The last 78rpm records by AMIGA found their ways into the record stores in 1960. Later AMIGA produced vinyl records till 1990.
78rpm-maniac 1st Jan 2014		78 RPM Ella Fitzgerald - Oh, Lady Be Good / Flying Home (1952)	Look at the Second-Edition-Label from around 1955. Different Label-Style for German Brunswick-records.
78rpm-maniac 1st Jan 2014		78 RPM Gene Vincent And His Blue Caps - Be-Bop-A-Lula ( ビバップ・ア・ルーラ) / Woman Love ( ウーマン・ラブ) (1957)	Wow congratulations for that great record. How is the Sound Quality by Japanese-78rpm records. Most collectors prefers Japanese Vinyl-records because they Sound great.
78rpm-maniac 31st Dec 2013		78 RPM Sidney Bechet's Blue Note Jazz Men - St. Louis Blues / Jazz Me Blues	I have new Information in case of the recordcompany CLIMAX: Founded in Cologne, Germany by a Company called Excelsior/Hocheder GmbH & Co.KG. The Company eleased 78rpm records and 45rpm records from 1951-1953, by using the US-Matrixes from Blue-Note under use of the original catalogue numbers from the US-Releases. Later on the Company Excelsior-Hocheder released LP-Albums with documentary-content, e.g. Politicans speeches.
78rpm-maniac 30th Dec 2013		78 RPM Sidney Bechet's Blue Note Jazz Men - St. Louis Blues / Jazz Me Blues	Hi xiphophilos, yes the ODEON-Swing-Music Series is very desireable in very good condition. Sometime it is difficult to say when the records had been released in Germany accurately. After 1945 the German recordcomanies used the war or pre-war matrixes, and re-released old recorded material. If all Members of well known Jazzbands survived the second world war some started with the recording of new material. Just look at the catalouge-number e.g. Brunswick: the very first ones had three Digits, followed in the years with four Digits and the youngest records had 5 Digits as catalouge-nr. Sometimes you can only guess the release date. Sometimes the graphic-design of the Label had changed into new coloures or new writings before or after the war. A good discography - book about all recorded 78rpm records in Germany is the following one: Author: Horst-H. Lange, Die 78er Hot-Dance-Discography from 1908-1958. All records, who belonged to Ragtime or Jazz, wich had been released in Germany are listed in this book, with lable Information, recording-dates and band-members.
78rpm-maniac 29th Dec 2013		78 RPM Sidney Bechet's Blue Note Jazz Men - St. Louis Blues / Jazz Me Blues	Hi 55bluesman and xiphophilos, the recording-date is mentioned and not the release-date of that record. Yes of course the climax-records had been released in the first half of the 1950s in Germany, but several record-companies released jazz-swing-Music during the Third-Reich-Administration, like Brunswick, ODEON, American-Lindström-Record, ODEON-Swing-Music-Series, Grammophon and Polydor-Records, especially Polydor for Export.
78rpm-maniac 19th Dec 2013		78 RPM Bill Haley mit Haley's Comets - Crazy Man, Crazy / Whatcha Gonna Do (1954)	Chuck Berry once said: Roll over Beethoven. So, that´s it. The Composer Beethoven was the Rock-n-Roller of his century, metaphorically spoken.
78rpm-maniac 18th Dec 2013		78 RPM Mr. Burt Shepard - The Man That Came Over From Ireland (1901)	Emil Berliner invented the gramophone with the gramophone-record in the United States on November, the 8th in 1887. A Little bit later, he went back to his hometown Hanover in Germany with the patent-documents. He founded the first record-pressing-plant in Hannover . He used the patent for the European market. From Hannover he started a worldwide successful record-company. Now today known as Deutsche Grammophon-Gesellschaft (DGG) with it´s Labels Grammophon, Concert-Record, Polydor (for Export-Records in the 1930s), Brunswick(for international artists), Coral, and the yellow-label DGG for classical recordings.
78rpm-maniac 18th Dec 2013		78 RPM Eve Boswell - It's Almost Tomorrow / Cookie (1956)	Hi, this is a UK-Release. UK-Pressing.
78rpm-maniac 18th Dec 2013		78 RPM Bill Haley mit Haley's Comets - Crazy Man, Crazy / Whatcha Gonna Do (1954)	This is the first ever Rock-n-Roll record on 78rpm in Germany. It was available on March 1954 in German record-stores. Released through TELDEC-DECCA record company Hamburg, Germany. The inscription on the label shows Western-Boogie and not Rock-n-Roll, because the notion Rock-n-Roll was not known in Germany in the year 1954. A very rare German record. The Decca-Supreme Record Label is the first Edition from 1954, first Label, the big Decca-Logo is the Label of the second Edition from around 1956.
78rpm-maniac 6th Nov 2013		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock / Treat Me Nice (1957)	Hi, Jailhouse Rock was the last 78rpm record of Elvis Presley 78-rpm records in Germany. All other tracks had been released in Germany on 45-rpms only.
78rpm-maniac 31st Oct 2013		78 RPM Crazy Otto - Palesteena / Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh! (1955)	An interesting US pressing of German big band dance music. Crazy Otto was a pseudonym for the German big band leader Fritz Schulz-Reichel. He made a lot of dance music and big band swing-style music in Germany from the 1940s till 1950s on 78rpm records. During the Second World War Fritz Schulz-Reichel was a band member in various German big bands.
78rpm-maniac 28th Jul 2013		78 RPM Dr. Klimper's Musikalische Fusswärmer - Jux Und Rhythmus 1 / Jux Und Rhythmus 2 (1956)	Wrong writing in the text. The Name of the Band is: Dr. Klimper´s musikalische Fußwärmer. Mod edit: name corrected
78rpm-maniac 25th Jun 2013		78 RPM Various Artists - Intermission Riff / Put That Kiss Back Where You Found It (1947)	Please Change 10-Inch into 12-Inch. Thanks.
78rpm-maniac 22nd Jun 2013		78 RPM Lale Andersen - Lied Eines Jungen Wachtpostens (Lili Marlen) / Drei Rote Rosen (Gedenken) (1941)	Hello, a nice UK-Pressing of the legendary Soldiersong. The writing is incorret: Not Waghtposten, the right lettering is Wachtposten. The recording is also from 1939, and was not sold well at that time. Only the radio-transcription on Radio-Beograd(Belgrad in former Yugoslavia) in 1941 made this song to a Piece of Music-history.
78rpm-maniac 19th Jun 2013		78 RPM Mitglieder der Kapelle der Staatsoper Berlin - Op 68 : 6. Symphonie, F-dur , "Pastoral"	Hi, a nice German classical record. If i look at the Label-design, the record is possibly from the time around 1940, but i´m not really shure, because I´m not a classical expert. I have compared the Label design with the German Jazz-Swing records with the same Label. Black-golden or blue-golden is for classical records, red-golden for popular Music (Dance Swing-Jazz-Music or Filmmusic)
78rpm-maniac 13th Jun 2013		78 RPM Das Meistersextett - Rhythmus der Freude / Wenn Matrosen mal an Land geh’n (1937)	Hello, also a nice recording by the Comedian Harmonists. They changed the name from Comedian Harmonists into Das Meistersextett in 1935, because at that time, the three Jewish band members had to leave the group, and the name Comedian Harmonists, sounding English, was forbidden during the Third Reich administration. Adolf Hitler declared that kind of music, like jazz by colored or Jewish people, a so-called degenerated form of art. So that was the sad part of the history. In the 1970s the historic recordings were re-released on vinyl long play sets. In 1998 a famous movie about the formation of the Comedian Harmonists placed that fine music into the mind of the younger people.
78rpm-maniac 13th Jun 2013		78 RPM Caterina Valente - Ganz Paris träumt von der Liebe (I Love Paris) / Wenn es Nacht wird in Paris (Dreh dich nicht um nach fremden Schatten) (1954)	Hello, Mike Firestone is a pseudonym-Name for the German Arranger-Composer Bandleader Bert Kaempfert from Hamburg. He also produced the very first Beatles-Records in Germany with Tony Sheridan.
78rpm-maniac 12th Jun 2013		78 RPM Bill Haley And His Comets - Mambo Rock / Happy Baby (1955)	The first and the second Label are wrong Pictures. Please erase them. The third and the forth Picture are here the right ones.
78rpm-maniac 12th Jun 2013		78 RPM Bill Haley And His Comets - Don't Knock The Rock / Choo Choo Ch'boogie (1957)	The third and the forth Label are the right ones. My Camera had a System failure or so on, i got some wrong Label Pictures. Sorry
78rpm-maniac 12th Jun 2013		78 RPM The String-a-Longs - Save The Last Dance For Me / Wheels (1961)	Hi, sorry i have mixed up the Labels. The A-Side is Safe the last Dance and the B-Side is Wheels.
78rpm-maniac 8th Jun 2013		78 RPM Count Basie - April In Paris / Party Blues (1957)	A nice Jazzrecord. I´m of the opinion, that the Columbia-Clef-Series offers a lot of great Jazz-Songs. I have a Copy with Miles Davis and Charlie Parker on Columbia-Clef.
78rpm-maniac 27th May 2013		78 RPM The Searchers - Love Potion No. 9 / Farmer John (1964)	Hello, a nice record. I have another Filipino-78rpm in my collection. Light-Blue-Label PYE, Tracks are Money / Since you broke my heart PYE-210 , in vg+/vg++ condition. Pressed in 1964.
