DeweyGill SUBS 20th Oct 2024		78 RPM Woody Herman - Gee, It's Good To Hold You / Your Father's Mustache (1945)	Top side is a sentimental ditty about a gal reuniting with her soldier boy after the war
DeweyGill SUBS 20th Oct 2024		78 RPM Bunny Berigan - I Can't Get Started / The Prisoner's Song (1938)	Images added
DeweyGill SUBS 19th Oct 2024		78 RPM "Peppermint" Harris - I Got Loaded / It's You, Yes, It's You (1951)	Added sharper image set
DeweyGill SUBS 12th Oct 2024		78 RPM Merle Johnston - Home / I Promise You (1931)	Pictured copy on red shellac. The Kirkeby side is drawn from the usual pool of ARC session players
DeweyGill SUBS 12th Oct 2024		78 RPM Karl Radlach - Give Yourself A Pat On The Back / Any Old Place With You (1930)	Bernie Cummins was under contract to Victor at the time, so drummer Radlach was selected as the nominal leader on several Plaza sessions. This is the regular Cummins band.
DeweyGill SUBS 12th Oct 2024		78 RPM Dick Himber And His Essex House Orchestra - Sophisticated Lady / Smoke Rings (1933)	An early vocal version of Smoke Rings. Among the listed personnel are Ruby Weinstein, Johnny Mc Gee, Artie Shaw, Jerry Colonna, Joey Nash, Hymie Wolfson, Arnold Brilhart, others
DeweyGill SUBS 11th Oct 2024		78 RPM Jerry Mason And His Californians - Don't Hold Everything (Let Everything Go) / Baby! (1929)	The Jimmy McHugh title was used for the Columbia version of the Pathe’ /Cameo “Whoopee Makers.” “Baby” was recorded four days earlier for Cameo with the same personnel (McPartland, Tea, BG, Gil Rodin, Dick Morgan, Ben Pollack etc.) as the “Dixie Daisies” or “Mills Musical Clowns” It is this Harmony version of “Baby!” that was used on the Columbia/Epic Jack Teagarden four lp box set issued @ 1962 “King Of The Blues Trombone”
DeweyGill SUBS 11th Oct 2024		78 RPM Jack Teagarden And His Dixieland Jazz Orchestra - Way Down Yonder In New Orleans / Muskrat Ramble (1946)	One of three Teagarden releases on this label. The arrangements are brought up to date, especially on “Muskrat” . As a result they sound less like the war horses that they actually are.
DeweyGill SUBS 11th Oct 2024		78 RPM Bert Lown - Charlie's Home / Black Panther (1933)	Images added
DeweyGill SUBS 10th Oct 2024		78 RPM Three O’Clock Jam Session - Part 1 (1949)	Added excerpt from a Clemson University research project on the Chess brothers
DeweyGill SUBS 10th Oct 2024		78 RPM Three O’Clock Jam Session - Part 1 (1949)	Aristocrat probably took the risk. They knew Ammon’s name would sell the record, but were careful not to give him leader credit, as that would be glaringly obvious on any trade publication listing current releases, so they buried his name in the middle of the credits.
DeweyGill SUBS 10th Oct 2024		78 RPM Golden Gate Orchestra [California Ramblers] - Charley, My Boy / Hard Hearted Hannah (1924)	The Five Birmingham Babies personnel is drawn from the larger California Ramblers pool.
DeweyGill SUBS 10th Oct 2024		78 RPM Ray Noble - Empty Saddles / Big Chief De Sota (1936)	Added images. Trumpeter Sterling Bose misspelled on label. Recorded May 25, 1936, Band includes Charlie Spivak, Glenn Miller. Johnny Mintz, Milt Yaner, John and George Van Eps, others
DeweyGill SUBS 10th Oct 2024		78 RPM Billie Holiday And Louis Armstrong - You Can't Lose A Broken Heart / My Sweet Hunk O' Trash (1949)	Recorded September 30, 1949. Band includes Bernie Privin, Sid Cooper, Johnny Mince, Art Drelinger, Billy Kyle, Everett Barksdale, Benjamin Crawford
DeweyGill SUBS 9th Oct 2024		78 RPM Three O’Clock Jam Session - Part 1 (1949)	This is actually a Gene Ammons session, but he was under contract to Mercury at the time, so the “3 O’Clock Jam Session” name was used. It’s Gene all the way with instrumental backing. Gene’s contract with Mercury expired in fall 1949, so Aristocrat was legally able to record him as leader in January 1950. Leo Blevins name is misspelled on the label. He gets a few bars on “Stuffy”, the only other soloist besides Gene on the two sides
DeweyGill SUBS 9th Oct 2024		78 RPM Eddie And Sugar Lou's Hotel Tyler Orchestra - K. W. K. H. Blues / Yo Yo Blues (1930)	Added labels that are not over cropped
DeweyGill SUBS 9th Oct 2024		78 RPM Abe Lyman And His Californians - Violets For Your Furs / Sunset Near Vine (1941)	The strings present on “ Violins For Your Furs” are omitted on the swing instrumental B side.
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Oct 2024		78 RPM Tex Beneke - Congratulations / Bye Bye Blues (1948)	Thanks, Mike
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Oct 2024		78 RPM Ben Selvin - Charlie Cadet / Little Mary Brown (1932)	Kline, T. Dorsey, Goodman, Venuti solo on Little Mary Brown. This is taken at a faster tempo than the Harmony version recorded eight days earlier. Benny not present on Charlie Cadet.
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Oct 2024		78 RPM Tex Beneke - Congratulations / Bye Bye Blues (1948)	Billboard revue was actually Jan. 1,1949. Hit the wrong key
DeweyGill SUBS 8th Oct 2024		78 RPM Benny Goodman - A Jazz Masterwork (1941)	The drum chair was always a hot seat in the Goodman band. Davey Tough was fired I believe, after his second stint with Benny in April. Joe Jones was on loan briefly, so was JC Heard. Sid Catlett then became the “permanent“ drummer until fall. It’s hard to tell on Tuesday At Ten, but Sid added a little bit extra. As evident on the few rare airchecks from that period, the band swung nicely. There’s a 6 and an 11 minute “Roll ‘Em” where he really swings the band without being heavy handed. One night in Chicago, Benny felt he was upstaged, so Sid was out the door.
DeweyGill SUBS 7th Oct 2024		78 RPM Blue Steele - You're So Different / Coronado (Brings Memories Of Yo) (1929)	Supposedly the V-40000 series was designated for country recordings, but somehow a handful of dance bands found some of their releases on this series, especially at the beginning. I always wondered why.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Oct 2024		78 RPM Teddy Powell - Talking To The Wind / Straight Eight Boogie (1941)	Tony Aless-piano “Straight Eight Boogie” references both musically eight to the bar, and the engine option available in many US cars at that time. (not Ford though, they had their flathead V-8) There may be another coy reference there as well.
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Oct 2024		78 RPM Harry James - When We're Alone (Penthouse Serenade) / Life Goes To A Party (1937)	Side project recorded while Harry was first trumpet with Benny Goodman. He brought along Jess Stacy on piano, but otherwise these are all Basie sidemen
DeweyGill SUBS 6th Oct 2024		78 RPM The Jungle Band - Paducah / Harlem Flat Blues (1929)	Added missing image
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Oct 2024		78 RPM The Ten Seers - I Told Them All About You / I Dream About You (1929)	Out of my undetermined file. *Rust lists this title under Carl Fenton with a Gennett matrix of GEX-1053. This # is not present anywhere on the record or trail off. The B side could be The Southern Serenaders, usually a Sam Lanin outfit. If so, it was a Pathe’ /Perfect master. The matrix #’s are not known for those issues. These would be Pathe’ 36753 and Perfect 14934. I own neither, so I can’t compare recordings. No other marking or numbers on either side other than the matrix’s I listed in notes.
DeweyGill SUBS 5th Oct 2024		78 RPM Norm Hoagy - Paper To Burn / Stars Fell On Alabama (1952)	“Stars Fell On Alabama” is a rather nice version leaning toward jazz with some attractive sax work,
DeweyGill SUBS 4th Oct 2024		78 RPM University Of Notre Dame Orchestra - Victory March / Down The Line March (1929)	A side more of a dance orchestra than brass and military. Side B has a bit of military march step feel, but little brass
DeweyGill SUBS 3rd Oct 2024		78 RPM Al Lynch - I Sill Love You / Goodbye Broadway, Hello Montreal (1928)	Other A side issues as Hollywood Dance Orchestra on Banner, Jewel Dance Orchestra on Jewel, all other issues as Herbert Spencer’s Dance Orchestra. Spencer was a sax player.
DeweyGill SUBS 2nd Oct 2024		78 RPM Joe Haymes - The Moon Is Grinning At Me / You're Too Sure Of Me (1936)	Added early juke box title strip
