carryonsidney 19th Oct 2024		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Instructions And Sample Calling	This is a disc to help hunters bag animals! This firm Burnham Brothers still exists and they even still supply the modern electronic version of these discs a device that emits the various animal calls.
carryonsidney 26th Sep 2024		78 RPM Frank Luther - The Bum Song / Hallelujah, I'm A Bum (1940)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]

carryonsidney 21st Aug 2024		78 RPM Turner Layton - When My Dreamboat Comes Home / I Once Had A Heart Marguerita (1936)	Just randomly found this interesting piece about (mainly) Layton and also Johnstone, westhampsteadlife
carryonsidney 21st Jun 2024		78 RPM Layton And Johnstone - Souvenirs / Charmaine (1927)	Labels exist with the correct spelling of Pollack.
carryonsidney 26th Apr 2024		78 RPM Hank Penny - Bloodshot Eyes / Wham! Bam! Thank You Ma'am (1956)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
carryonsidney 21st Apr 2024		78 RPM Leslie Hutchinson - Goodnight My Love / All Alone In Vienna (1937)	A slightly clearer A side dropped in. Thanks to Worldstamps for the original scan.
carryonsidney 21st Apr 2024		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Cocktails For Two / Chloe (1945)	I have another variation for the "cocktails..." side, the stamps go in Chappell/Victoria/ NCB/ Francis Day order. The BD 1107 has a large space between ....D. __ 11... like image 3198861. Helpfully I have the original sleeve with the titles and the owners name & address added to it in fountain pen and longhand. On the back is a long list of adverts one of which Alma Cogan B10653 is dated to 1954 seems to suggest this one was quite a hit.
carryonsidney 7th Feb 2024		78 RPM Ivy Benson And Her Girls' Band - I'm In The Mood For Love / I Cover The Waterfront (1948)	Tracks recorded Tuesday December 16,1947 Release date April 1948. Info kindly supplied by T.B., C.H.C & A.M from The Golden Age of British Dance Bands group on FB.
carryonsidney 30th Jan 2024		78 RPM Norman Brooks - A Sky-Blue Shirt And A Rainbow Tie / This Waltz With You (1954)	Re the tax codes, I think Decca simply knocked off the letter "T" (T for Tax), the code in place at the time was NT Apr 15th 1953 to Oct 26th 1955, (replaced by "RT" on 27th Oct 55).
carryonsidney 17th Sep 2023		78 RPM Layton And Johnstone - I'll Take Her Back (If She Wants To Come Back) / Alabamy Bound (1925)	I found the original sheet music today, its a composite scan as it is a fair bit bigger than A4!
carryonsidney 23rd Jul 2023		78 RPM Repton School - Songs From "The Comedy Of Errors" / Songs From "The Comedy Of Errors"	The labels are identical both sides apart from the info: "side 1...2" .
carryonsidney 30th Jun 2023		78 RPM Sugar Chile Robinson - Numbers Boogie / Bouncing Ball Boogie (1951)	[YouTube Video]
carryonsidney 18th Jun 2023		78 RPM Olive Goff - Phyllis Has Such Charming Graces / In Quelle Trine Morbide (1925)	I agree with the Arr. Jane Wilson. I have tidied up this entry. Having listened carefully to the record YT I think we can be sure it is the same woman doing the singing on both sides. Since she being accompanied by piano I surmise Irene is playing it, as she has a few results come on the interweb as being a professional accompanist? Picture of Irene in action here
carryonsidney 18th Jun 2023		78 RPM Olive Goff - Phyllis Has Such Charming Graces / In Quelle Trine Morbide (1925)	Its possibly Olive Goff? I found a reference online to her being a soprano singer Albert Sammons [Albert Edward Sammons] (1886-1957), English violinist and composer [L. G. Sharpe, Haymarket; Olive Goff, soprano; Gerald Moore, pianist; Columbia New Process Records] Publication details: 'Programme and Book of Words SIXPENCE. L. G. SHARPE, 25, Haymarket, S.W.1.' Undated
carryonsidney 25th May 2023		78 RPM Oscar Rabin - Knees Up Mother Brown / The Black Out Stroll (1940)	[YouTube Video]
carryonsidney 21st May 2023		78 RPM Kenny Baker [UK] - Round About Midnight / How High The Moon (1953)	The A side got issued on Parlophone R.3646

carryonsidney 20th May 2023		78 RPM Kenny Baker [UK] - Round About Midnight / Afternoon In Paris (1953)	[YouTube Video]
carryonsidney 8th May 2023		78 RPM Various Artists - [None] / [None]	There are 5 flexis, they are totally transparent. Around the inner edge of the run off they are stamped with "Rainbow" followed by the artistes name in caps. These are possibly the thinnest ever flexies I have ever seen, I am amazed they play at 78 as they are cut like a microgroove 45. There's only a couple mins playing time on each.
carryonsidney 26th Apr 2023		78 RPM Nat "King" Cole - Mona Lisa / No Moon At All (1953)	1960ac appears to be under the impression that there is only 1 copy? Well there are 2 others on ebay as I type this.
carryonsidney 17th Nov 2022		78 RPM Johnny Luck - Play Rough / Buzz, Buzz, Buzz (1958)	This film has just been on the telly today (talkingpics) starring David McCallum and Stanley Baker amongst other well known faces. I only caught the last 20 minutes or so but it seemed to be a quality flick for the time. Interestingly I think the tune was playing over the end credits withits own title credit stating in brackets that it was due for release on Fontana. I'm surprized a UK 45 hasnt turned up yet?
carryonsidney 17th Jul 2022		78 RPM Howlin' Wolf - Passing By Blues / Crying At Daybreak (1951)	New label images supplied by HistorianUSA.
carryonsidney 1st May 2021		78 RPM Robert Vom Scheidt - Lied An Die Flasche Aus "Undine" (1909)	I find it fascinating to see the center star image that was a guide in the manufacturing process.
carryonsidney 19th Sep 2020		78 RPM Ken "Snakehips" Johnson And His West Indian Orchestra - Ida / Tuxedo Junction (1940)	A biog of Britain's first black band leader can be read here at Swingtime. He was killed by a bomb blast whilst on stage at the Cafe de Paris in London, March 1941.
carryonsidney 23rd Aug 2020		78 RPM Lighthouse All Stars - Big Boy (Part 1) / Big Boy (Concl.) (1953)	Hi jockgirl the uk London 78 does indeed cut suddenly as you described the USA version, still a great banger tune though
carryonsidney 9th Sep 2019		78 RPM The Skyliners [UK] - The Happy Wanderer / Silent Night (1954)	This is presumably a different group [ uk] to the USA Skyliners ?
carryonsidney 26th Mar 2019		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Sound Effects / Sound Effects	Lionel Trains is/was a toy train brand, popular in the 1950's (American, obviously). You can see a large selection of their engines on ebay etc.
