carryonsidney 28th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMOrchestre Salabert - J'Aime Les Femmes (de l'Opérette "Un Soir De Réveillon") (1932) | sorry I thought you were asking about the label, Ive just reread your Q again.
I had a look on French ebay and there is a number of 78's for sale, the label varies as does the name some are just Salabert, some seem to say Franci Salabert ? [ no - s ].
I cant find any online discographies for the label though.

carryonsidney 20th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMH. Charrington - Piano By H. Charrington, Pueblo 1952 (1952) | I have a 45rpm 7" audiodisc equivalent, they are acetates. Audiodisc supplied acetates to [USA] professional music studios generally, they seem to be very common in the 1950's & 60's and then stop?
I'm not sure but as I understand it, in the USA if you wanted to ensure your song was copy written you needed to record a demo of it, so you could 'register' the song?
As an aside, the 45 I have has had a studio label pasted over the Audio disc you can see it on 45cat here, on the b side which I didnt scan [whoops] its just the plain audiodisc label. Note the 2 holes in the disc, the 2nd hole isnt a 'cutout or deletion" punch, these discs are attached to the machine by 2 pegs when they are cutting the tune, ensures non slip I think.

carryonsidney 17th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMPerry Como - Juke Box Baby / The Things I Didn't Do (1956) | The label appears to belong to the B.D. series? The song Juke box baby was first recorded in early 1956 according to the back of a bear boxset I found on the web so the release is definately 56 and no earlier. I wonder if strike action was a factor in old stock labels being used?
|
carryonsidney 14th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMMarie Bryant And Jackie Brown's Calypso Kings - Sixty Minute Man / Suede Shoes (1954) | probably best as this london series has its own distinct cat# system. Nice find by the way, these are pretty rare 78's!
|
carryonsidney 13th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMHenry Hall - Underneath the Arches (1932) | Tricky one, says Abbey Road on label so it's an EMI company? I wonder if it is a cut made for the BBC to broadcast?
Also the actual singing is by Flanagan & Allen, not Henry Hall, so this record needs to be linked to them somehow.
|
carryonsidney 12th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMElvis Presley - One Night / I Got Stung (1959) | A Mess of blues RCA 1194 78rpm definately exists, (copies on popsike), both uk and south african. There is a south african "It's Now Or Never" on popsike but no uk equivalent.
|
carryonsidney 10th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMTeresa Brewer - Copenhagen / Music! Music! Music! (1950) | No, the bside did become a number 1 hit but its the definately the B. I believe this was in the days when either side of a record could chart as piano sheet music would be included in the sales/ chart 'rating'?
The subject has been covered on 45cat by W.B.lbl

carryonsidney 9th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMTommy Steele - The Truth About Me (1957) | apologies to Jules, just added an intact label and the envelope the record was posted in. Its an extraordinary downbeat interview, quite amazing that they issued it I think.
|
carryonsidney 7th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMJackie Wilson - Reet Petite / By The Light Of The Silvery Moon (1957) | Funny I just found my receipt for this inside the sleeve, it must be undoubtedly the most expensive 78 I have ever bought, £4.99 on the 4/4/2009 !
|
carryonsidney 7th Dec 2012 | | 78 RPMThe Hallé Orchestra - "From The New World" Symphony, Op 95 No 5 (1924) | looks like it from Jules's other entry with the cover. This is the B-side here of the 5th disc? Pt 9 would be the A?
One of the problems 78cat might have in the future is where contributors pick up a 78 singularly where it should be part of an album. Part of the trouble with buying 78 records these days anyway.

The Pathé had worked in the development of "Pathégraphe" from 1911 and the device (also called "self-taught") is marketed in 1913.
Between 1911 and 1913, he tested for use with several classes, the work is carried out seriously since entrusted to the scientific authority of Professor Louis Liard, Sorbonne.
The Pathégraphe is best known as a method of learning foreign languages (Louis Weill method). First language is edited for Pathégraphe German (singular choice to a few months at the beginning of the First World War). English and Spanish languages will follow. The new device of the Pathé joins many other language learning methods based on the use of the sound recording.
The Pathégraphe can also make "practical articulation and diction" (Rosset method) or take music lessons.
In the full sense of the term, it is a visual learning method: the student, while listening to the disc,
sees pass before him in front of the camera, a strip of paper down synchronously on which is inscribed the text of the lesson, the paper strip 86 mm wide is perforated to allow the mechanical drive. For language learning methods, there are actually two texts: the bottom, the text in the foreign language at the top, its translation into French. A component of aluminum can be lowered or raised to hide or show the translation.
Disks used, 35 cm in diameter, are engraved vertically and read by a head with a ball of sapphire. Their reading speed is 80 revolutions per minute; playback starts from the center. Each side has a duration of 2 to 4 minutes.
The camera was mounted on a cabinet in oak. On the right side of the front are four controllers respectively for the back by a spring mechanism to adjust the speed of the aircraft at its start and up the strip of paper. Originality in comparison with devices of the era: the Pathégraphe not flag floral, the audio is played from a sound reflector housed at the bottom of the metal cover.
A controller can instantly transform the Pathégraphe in Pathéphone, so that, as we wrote in 1913: "We listen to the phonograph for fun, we listen to the" Pathégraphe "to educate and ingenuity as well known to the Pathé made sure that the instrument can become an excellent phonograph will to pleasure, after investigating we can, again, be entertained just by pressing the button and changing the disc. '
It seems that the commercial distribution of this unit has been short-lived. In 1918, the method of language learning Louis Weil recommends the use of "model Pathéphone D unit in oak portable type" and works with disks 29 cm in diameter.
