Bamboo 12th Jul 2020		78 RPM The Andrews Sisters - You're A Lucky Fellow, Mr.Smith / I, Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi (I Like You Very Much) (1941)	'A' and 'B' side label variations added. For example, letter 'T' tax code and a different 'word layout' in the label 'upper half' edge area.
Bamboo 10th Jul 2020		78 RPM Pablo Casals - Träumerei (Reverie) / Melody In F (1927)	Oh. That seems to explain everything very well. Thank you scrough.
Bamboo 10th Jul 2020		78 RPM Pablo Casals - Träumerei (Reverie) / Melody In F (1927)	'A' Side Label Uploaded. Possible interest: note attached (by retailer I think ?) relating to 78 records being re-cycled maybe ? I cannot think why there might be a shortage of shellac during 1927 which would require re-cycling to take place ? I have not seen such a note before -but maybe they were more common than I imagine?
Bamboo 10th Jul 2020		78 RPM Charles Gardner - Air Battle Over The English Channel / Air Battle Over The English Channel (1940)	Moderators: Please consider deleting the word 'Cont.' from Side 'B' Title, as this does not appear on the actual label. (Mod. comment: amended)
Bamboo 6th Jul 2020		78 RPM Ted Dewar - Stephanie Gavotte / Johnson's Jubilee (1913)	'A' and 'B' side label variations added.
Bamboo 4th Jul 2020		78 RPM Dame Clara Butt - Land Of Hope And Glory (1922)	Very interesting. Thank you scrough.
Bamboo 4th Jul 2020		78 RPM Robert Gladwell - Meet The Tiger / Meet The Tiger (1958)	Further to my comment below, stating that there is something printed on each of the 'A' sides, it MAY be that these are actually previously printed labels for other records showing through - having been reversed and the blank white side re-used for these records. The second photo uploaded of side 'A', record 3, seems to indicate this. The label image has been 'reversed' and 'filtered / enhanced'. The underlined word may be (a misprint ?) of the word 'orchestra'. The writing is probably on the other side of the label as the lettering presents itself as a' mirror image'. The writing is probably not an impression from some other source created by accidental pressure as each of the records has a similar, but different 'pattern' of letters.
Bamboo 4th Jul 2020		78 RPM Dame Clara Butt - Land Of Hope And Glory (1922)	Was this really a 'one side only' record ? It just seems to be issued a bit late for that and would be expected to have used both sides maybe ?
Bamboo 1st Jul 2020		78 RPM H. Plunket Greene - The Art Of Singing (1929)	Harry Plunket Greene (24 June 1865 – 19 August 1936) was an Irish baritone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Plunket_Greene
Bamboo 1st Jul 2020		78 RPM Sybil Thorndike And Lewis Casson - The Letter Scene / The Murder Scene (1930)	Moderators: Please alter record size to 12 inch. [Done]
Bamboo 1st Jul 2020		78 RPM Gertrude Lawrence And Noel Coward - Love Scene From "Private Lives" Act 1 / Scene From "Private Lives" Act 2 (1930)	'A' and 'B' side labels added.
Bamboo 1st Jul 2020		78 RPM Gertrude Lawrence And Noel Coward - Love Scene From "Private Lives" Act 1 / Scene From "Private Lives" Act 2 (1930)	Moderators: Please alter the following: 1. Catalogue number to 'C.2043'' 2. The 'A' side title should be 'scene' not 'Scenes' 3. The 'B' side should be 'Scene ...' not 'Love Scenes ...' [mod:Done]
Bamboo 30th Jun 2020		78 RPM Robert Gladwell - Meet The Tiger / Meet The Tiger (1958)	Notes: 1. I note that the word 'Kind' appears to have been mis-spelt as 'Kina' on the 'B' side labels. ('By kina permission of ...). 2. This record content is from the first novel in a long-running series of books (lasting into the 1980s) featuring the adventures of Simon Templar, alias "The Saint". Please see the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meet_the_Tiger 3. The 'B' side labels on all 11 records are identical. The 'A' side labels however have different braille writing - images will be added of those later. 4. Catalogue numbers are JG13458 to JG13468. 5. There is something printed on each of the 'A' sides in small, gold / silver reflective lettering. It seems to have worn off and is now illegible. This printed matter content seems to vary 'from record to record'.
Bamboo 27th Jun 2020		78 RPM Jessie Broughton And Stanley Kirkby - If You Were The Only Girl / Another Little Drink Wouldn't Do Us Any Harm (1916)	'A' and 'B' side labels added.
Bamboo 22nd Jun 2020		78 RPM The Hallé Orchestra - A Trumpet Voluntary (For Brass And Organ) / Solemn Memory (For Organ And Orchestra) (1927)	'A' side label variation added.
Bamboo 22nd Jun 2020		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Messiah (Hallelujah Chorus) / [Unknown]	Has anyone heard of 'Sonochord' - a recording organisation ?
Bamboo 22nd Jun 2020		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Messiah (Hallelujah Chorus) / [Unknown]	Following investigation this choral record is believed to have been recorded at the The Big Wesley (Chapel) at the junction of Clasketgate and Danesgate in Lincoln. If so, as the chapel was demolished during 1963 this record date precedes this event. The following link refers to the chapel: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Adams_Nicholson There is no definitive proof of the recording venue but this is a possibility.
Bamboo 22nd Jun 2020		78 RPM Eton College Musical Society - Just As The Tide Was Flowing / Bobby Shaftoe (1927)	This catalogue number is not present in the 'Date 78' dating software (Unless it is out of order and I failed to see it).
Bamboo 21st Jun 2020		78 RPM Don Barreto And His Cuban Orchestra - Ojos Verdes / Nuestro Cantar (1932)	Moderators: Is 1938 the correct year ? The catalogue number just seems to be a little low when compared to surrounding ones ?
Bamboo 21st Jun 2020		78 RPM Al Jolson - By The Light Of The Silvery Moon / I Want A Girl (1949)	'A' and 'B' side labels added.
Bamboo 17th Jun 2020		78 RPM Fritz Kreisler - Liebesleid (1913)	Extremely interesting and very useful. Thank you as always Scrough.
Bamboo 15th Jun 2020		78 RPM Frank Luther - Alice In Wonderland / Alice In Wonderland (Contd.) (1936)	Very good. Thank you Scrough.
Bamboo 14th Jun 2020		78 RPM Maryland Dance Orchestra - Araby / The Sparrowhawks (1925)	Notes: 1. The 'A' side composer's name (Horatio Nicholls) is actually an alias for 'Lawrence Wright' Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Wright_(composer) 2. It seems that the 'B' side composer's name (Gacinto Guierrero) has been completely mis-spelt, as the actual spelling is 'Jacinto Guerrero' ? Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacinto_Guerrero It also seems that, because there is a hyphen between his names, (a hyphen is absent on the 'A' side composer's names) Coliseum may have thought that 'The Sparrowhawks' was composed by two people ?
Bamboo 14th Jun 2020		78 RPM Frank Luther - Alice In Wonderland / Alice In Wonderland (Contd.) (1936)	Does anyone know why the labels have a 'musical score-sheet' printed at the bottom, in between the matrix and catalogue numbers ? Is this unusual ?
Bamboo 14th Jun 2020		78 RPM George Formby [Senior] - Twice Nightly / Did You See The Crowd In Piccadilly? (1916)	Very good indeed.
Bamboo 13th Jun 2020		78 RPM George Formby [Senior] - Twice Nightly / Did You See The Crowd In Piccadilly? (1916)	Thanks again Scrough. 78 records are so very interesting, often surprising, sometimes quite a mystery and discussing them can even make me laugh ............. what more can you ask for in life ?
Bamboo 13th Jun 2020		78 RPM George Formby [Senior] - Twice Nightly / Did You See The Crowd In Piccadilly? (1916)	As always, thanks Scrough for the very interesting information and explaining the 'thought process'. I was hoping that the half penny tax stamp as opposed to the one penny tax stamp would be the decider :(
Bamboo 12th Jun 2020		78 RPM George Formby [Senior] - Twice Nightly / Did You See The Crowd In Piccadilly? (1916)	'A' and 'B' side label variations added. Moderators: These may be the earliest and if so, need to be moved to the 'top'.
Bamboo 12th Jun 2020		78 RPM Sol Hoopii - Iniki Malie / Ka Makani Kaili Aloha (1935)	Thanks Mike Gann.
Bamboo 12th Jun 2020		78 RPM Sol Hoopii - Iniki Malie / Ka Makani Kaili Aloha (1935)	Note: The spelling regarding 'A' and 'B' side titles and composers may be incorrect, due to difficulty reading the label print.
