Bamboo 19th Nov 2019		78 RPM The Black Dyke Mills Band - The Acrobat / The Jester (1940)	'A' and 'B' side label variations added.
Bamboo 17th Nov 2019		78 RPM Anton Hermann Winter - German Speech Sounds (1st Record) / German Speech Sounds (2nd Record) (1932)	Thank you VERY much xiphophilos and jago125. Your advice / information is most interesting and really appreciated.
Bamboo 17th Nov 2019		78 RPM Neapolitan Trio - Simple Aveu / Spring Song (1927)	'A' and 'B' side labels added.
Bamboo 17th Nov 2019		78 RPM H.M. Coldstream Guards - Bugle Calls Of The British Army. No. Ill / Bugle Calls Of The Bristish Army. No. IV (1916)	I find it interesting that HMV record B 593 states that J. Mackenzie-Rogan is a Lieutenant Colonel (Presumably recently promoted) whereas this record states he is a Major. Both records were issued in the same month and year and yet B 593 is at least technically an earlier release number to this one.
Bamboo 17th Nov 2019		78 RPM Anton Hermann Winter - German Speech Sounds (1st Record) / German Speech Sounds (2nd Record) (1932)	I wonder why the 'A' and 'B' side labels differ in colour - particularly the gramophone image itself ?
Bamboo 14th Nov 2019		78 RPM Warings Pennsylvanians - Oh, Baby! (Don't Say No, Say Maybe) / There's No One Just Like You (1924)	Interestingly, unlike Victor record labels on this site for the respective artists, this HMV label shows the band name 'Warings Pennsylvanians' without an apostrophe for 'Warings' and 'Night Hawk' as two separate words - not hyphenated nor depicted as one word'.
Bamboo 8th Nov 2019		78 RPM Harry Hudson's Melody Men - Sleepy Valley / Tell Me, Mother (1929)	'A' and 'B' Side Label Variations Added.
Bamboo 8th Nov 2019		78 RPM The Radio Melody Boys - Singin' In The Rain / Pagan Love Song (1929)	'A' and 'B' side label variations added.
Bamboo 7th Nov 2019		78 RPM Alfredo - My Song Of The Nile / I've Never Seen A Smile Like Yours (1929)	'A' and 'B' Side Variation Labels Added.
Bamboo 7th Nov 2019		78 RPM G. H. Elliott - Honey / Walking With Susie (1929)	'A' and 'B' Side Label Variations Added.
Bamboo 6th Nov 2019		78 RPM Chris. Hall - You Wanted Someone To Play With (I Wanted Someone To Love) / My Ideal (1929)	'A' and 'B' Label Variations added. Side 'A' for example: Different spacing for '(I Wanted Someone To Love'. Also, No 'Full Stop' After 'Orch'. Side 'B' for example: Different Spacing For Composer Names. Also, Song Title Larger.
Bamboo 5th Nov 2019		78 RPM Harry Hudson's Melody Men - It Goes Like This / I'm Crazy Over You (1929)	'A' and 'B' side label variations added. Font differences on both sides. I am particularly intrigued by the way in which the letter 'x' is depicted on 'It Goes Like This' - 'Novelty Fox Trot' Also, the lack of a 'label printed tax stamp' on 'I'm Crazy Over You'.
Bamboo 4th Nov 2019		78 RPM Billy Elliott - Sonny Boy / Shout Hallelujah (1929)	'A' and 'B' Side Label Variations added. Difference, for example, in the position of the words 'America's Black-Faced' Star'.
Bamboo 4th Nov 2019		78 RPM Harry Hudson's Melody Men - Roll Away, Clouds / Dreams Of Yesterday (1928)	'A' Side Label Image Added.

Bamboo 30th Oct 2019		78 RPM Chris. Hall - Meet Me In My Dreams Tonight / Tribute To Our Aero Heroine A M Y (1930)	'A' and 'B' Side variations added. Both sides: spelling: 'accomp.' 'B' Side: Letter spacing for the name 'AMY'.
Bamboo 28th Oct 2019		78 RPM Charles Jolly - The Laughing Policeman / You've Got To Laugh (1922)	'A' And 'B' Side Variations Added.
Bamboo 13th Oct 2019		78 RPM Kathlyn Hilliard - Indian Love Call / Rose-Marie (1925)	I was just about to play this record when I noticed that the 'A' Side label has writing etched into it. The writing almost seemed to be beneath the label and just 'shows through'. I think that it was written at the production factory as it is 'so neat'. Maybe before the label was affixed ? Maybe just afterwards. I could be wrong though. The writing seems to' say', as it progresses down the label: CC5999 7 April 25 Z 13 2-7-24 INDIAN LOVE CALL MISS HILLIARD /ORCH. 'CC5999(1) is indeed the number etched into the 'run out'. I wonder if anyone can help to clarify when it may have been written, why it was written and some of it's meaning ? Would every record in this issue / batch have had this ? The 'B' side has no writing at all incidentally. I know that some 'Jumbo' label 'Billy Williams' records have his signature etched into them but this seems different maybe ? I am thinking that maybe the song was released on 7th April 1925 and recorded 2nd July 1924 ? However, the HMV dating software says the release date was 'May 1925' - at least for the British version. So maybe different in India ? Thank you for any help / advice you can give.
Bamboo 6th Oct 2019		78 RPM Minna Reverelli - Old Vienna Yodelling Dance / The Cuckoo In The Wood	Review So, there I was this morning, ferreting around with some of my Parlophone records to decide which to keep and which to not keep. I listened to 'The Cuckoo In The Wood' and was entranced. It immediately cut through the silence and quickly established it's haunting effect. Very much so on my modest floor-standing Geisha gramophone. There is a lovely occasional deep echo. I wonder how they achieved that effect ? I have never heard anything like it before. But then again, the only other Yodelling record I believe I have is by 'The Yodelling Cowboy' and, some-what bizarrely, there is no actual yodelling on that one. Anyway, I digress ... ... and so, it is a 'keeper' and very worthy of a place in my humble collection. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Bamboo 3rd Oct 2019		78 RPM Mr. Harry Lauder - Stop Your Tickling, Jock (1907)	Review A charming record which (to me) sounds like a cross between 'The Laughing Policeman' and a Billy Williams record. (I assume it isn't Billy pretending to be Harry). The volume is surprisingly loud I think, compared to say Zonophones from the same year. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Bamboo 1st Oct 2019		78 RPM Leslie Hutchinson - Red Sails In The Sunset / Murder In The Moonlight (1935)	Review I have just played 'Murder In The Moonlight'. It is one of those magical songs which immediately transfixes and transports you back in time and to a different place. Where ? I will have to listen a few more times to be sure. Leslie Hutchinson has such a unique voice. I knew nothing about him and enjoyed reading his Wiki entry. I think that this track is essential for any collection so I am extremely pleased to have it. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Bamboo 12th Aug 2019		78 RPM Regimental Band Of H.M. Grenadier Guards - The Parade Of The Tin Soldiers / The Burial Of Cock Robin (1915)	Very good. I understand completely now. Thank you for explaining everything.
Bamboo 12th Aug 2019		78 RPM Regimental Band Of H.M. Grenadier Guards - The Parade Of The Tin Soldiers / The Burial Of Cock Robin (1915)	Very interesting indeed ! I wonder why the extra 'W' instead of just AX1323/4 ? Also, would the 'R' normally mean a re-issue I wonder ? Thank you for any clarification you can give.
Bamboo 12th Aug 2019		78 RPM Regimental Band Of H.M. Grenadier Guards - The Parade Of The Tin Soldiers / The Burial Of Cock Robin (1915)	Variations of 'A' and 'B' sides added. Different Master Recording reference numbers and '(Conducted By Lieut. Geo. Miller)'
Bamboo 12th Aug 2019		78 RPM Edna Thornton, George Baker - With Ducal Pomp / On The Day When I Was Wedded (1920)	Two different styles of label.
Bamboo 10th Aug 2019		78 RPM Cathie's Band - Old Scotch Songs / Give Yourself A Pat On The Back (1930)	'B' Side Variant Label added. I thought it was interesting when compared to the existing 'B' side as it shows through misalignment that the label printing process was completed with at least two separate stages.
Bamboo 30th Jul 2019		78 RPM Jack Gordon - Goodnight, Sweetheart / You Are My Heart's Delight (1931)	'A' And 'B' Side Variants uploaded - interestingly making no DIRECT mention that the record is an electric Recording'
