dewey70 31st Jan 2025		78 RPM Guy Lombardo And His Royal Canadians - Intermezzo (Souvenir De Vienne) / Star Dust (1947)	What was the significance of this (non-Personality Series) label?
dewey70 19th Jan 2025		78 RPM Columbia Orchestra - The Blue Danube Waltz (1901)	Apparently a version of this also exists on the little-seen 14" (60rpm) series with the same number. The title is changed to "The Beautiful Blue Danube".
dewey70 3rd Dec 2024		78 RPM Erna Sack - Voices Of Spring / The Nightingale	Wow, never seen a 12" Capitol 78.
dewey70 12th Nov 2024		78 RPM McKinney's Cotton Pickers - Will You, Won't You, Be My Babe? / Rocky Road (1932)	Strange that they would put a "Victor" sticker over the label when it likely already said "Victor".
dewey70 25th Jul 2024		78 RPM Sister Rosetta Tharpe - I'm So Glad / Sing And Shout (1954)	Is there an explanation for why Decca was using so many different label designs at once by this time?
dewey70 22nd Jul 2023		78 RPM Ray Charles - Hallelujah I Love Her So / Devil Or Angel	Was this a 78 stylus or LP?
dewey70 19th Jun 2023		78 RPM Fiddlin' John Carson - Dixie Cowboy / John Henry Blues (1924)	Wow, never seen a 12" Okeh. Nice.
dewey70 24th May 2023		78 RPM Steve Gibson And The Redcaps - Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang Of Mine / I'd Love To Live A Llifetime For You (1948)	The copy i used to have of “Who Done It” by Stubby and the Buccaneers, while it had the standard Mercury label, was on ridiculously thin vinyl.
dewey70 18th Mar 2023		78 RPM Frank Sinatra - Granada / La Maldicion De Un Corazon Dolorido (The Curse Of An Aching Heart) (1962)	A blue Reprise 78 label is shown in the attic scene of "Dennis the Menace" but I've been unable to find evidence of it elsewhere. The record is Jo Stafford, "Whatcha Know Joe". The clip can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNGBtb98iIY&t=4s
dewey70 18th Mar 2023		78 RPM Milton Charles - Just A-Wearyin' For You / Moonlight And Roses (1924)	A seller on the 'bay has one of these for sale (using 2998854 and 2998855) and claims its a 9-inch record.
dewey70 8th Mar 2023		78 RPM Cherry Wainer - Valencia / Blue Cha Cha (1958)	Weren't these in particular to be played with a regular LP stylus, instead of 78?
dewey70 21st May 2022		78 RPM Victor Orchestra - Flag Of Truce March (1907)	Did these have special sleeves? In all my years collecting, I've never seen one.
dewey70 2nd Apr 2022		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Solo Harp / Solo Trumpet (1968)	Were these like sound effects records, to be used on the radio?
dewey70 17th Dec 2021		78 RPM Earl Peterson - Boogie Blues / In The Dark (1954)	Yup, the rings were likely caused specifically by the Wurlitzer 1500. It used rubber wheels directly on the label to turn the record. You can see one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqgKn4PiBPk An Atco appears with the same rings at 11:25.
dewey70 24th Nov 2021		78 RPM Paul Whiteman - A Tabloid Version Of As Thousands Cheer / A Tabloid Version Of "Let 'em Eat Cake" (1933)	Is this a 78 or one of those Program Transcriptions?
dewey70 30th Jun 2021		78 RPM Don Rondo - A Hoot An' A Holler / Friends (1960)	Are these made out of usual shellac or vinyl?
dewey70 19th Jan 2021		78 RPM Columbia Band - Capparian March (1901)	Looks like another Standard or Harmony owner decided to take matters into their own hands.
dewey70 24th May 2019		78 RPM Jack Ford - I Understand (Just How You Feel) / That's All You Gotta Do (1954)	This color scheme screams Jubilee to me.
