fantasista 29th Sep 2023		78 RPM Wilf. Carter - The Hobo's Blues / A Cowboy's Best Friend Is His Pony (1943)	Added repress images on "dog" label (c. Apr. 1940 - Jan. 1945).
fantasista 28th Sep 2023		78 RPM Henry Burr - Just A Baby's Prayer At Twilight (For Her Daddy Over There) / On The Road To Home Sweet Home (1918)	Label images added. This disc featuring two sentimental wartime ballads apparently became a million-seller, remaining in the catalogue until 1926.
fantasista 24th Sep 2023		78 RPM Chœur Et Orchestra Du Festival De Bayreuth - Lohengrin	This appears to be a French pressing: see matching rim text and fonts here.
fantasista 24th Sep 2023		78 RPM Chor Und Orchester Des Festspielhauses Bayreuth - Brautchor (Treulich geführt...) / Vorspiel zum III. Auszug (1936)	Added label variant, corrected track listing.
fantasista 24th Sep 2023		78 RPM Lale Andersen - Lied eines jungen Wachtpostens (Lili Marlen) / Drei rote Rosen (Gedenken) (1939)	Added postwar repress labels.
fantasista 6th Sep 2023		78 RPM Charles Hart - Somewhere In France Is The Lily / My Sweetheart Is Somewhere In France (1917)	Added earlier (mid-1916 to fall 1917) labels with price notice - a case of old labels being used up.
fantasista 6th Sep 2023		78 RPM Carle Hodson - My Fate / My Love For You (1945)	What's your source for the release date? It seems unlikely that Malcolm Tait could have written these songs if the record came out in 1945 - he would have been 14 at the time.
fantasista 3rd Sep 2023		78 RPM Amelia Bruno - I Cu Te, Tu Cu Me / Si Stata Tu (1917)	Hi Mike Gann, these are technically not opera, rather they're Neapolitan songs in vernacular dialect.
fantasista 31st Aug 2023		78 RPM Columbia Dragspelskvartett - Fart I Spelet / Hambo Ska' De' Va' (1934)	Yes, I made a mistake while uploading it, alas. I submitted a correction, just waiting for a mod to change it.
fantasista 31st Aug 2023		78 RPM Columbia Dragspelskvartett - Fart I Spelet / Hambo Ska' De' Va' (1934)	Release date a guess based on nearby matrix numbers.
fantasista 29th Aug 2023		78 RPM Eddy Beekmann - Alte Kameraden / Hoch Heidecksburg (1928)	Nice find! Did you pick up this and the other recent German 78s up locally?
fantasista 27th Aug 2023		78 RPM Musica Della R. Marina Italiana - Fanfara E Marcia Reale Italiana D'Ordinanza / Marcia Della Ritirata Della R. Marina (1906)	Added earlier labels - strangely, with the catalogue numbers inverted.
fantasista 27th Aug 2023		78 RPM Giuseppe Anselmi - Fedora. Arioso Di Loris "Amor Ti Vieta" / Manon. "Chiudo Gli Occhi" (1907)	Added variant labels with dealer sticker.
fantasista 23rd Aug 2023		78 RPM Musikkorps III. Batl. 9 (Pr.) Inf. Regt. Spandau - Ich Hatt' Einen Kameraden / Jugend Trauert (1933)	Aaaah, so the B-side does feature a Nazi connection. Thanks for the excellent research, as always. As regards the A-side, there were cases where recordings had their credits changed after the war: one I know of and of which I can provide an example on the site is the I. Musikkorps Des Infanterie-Regiments "Groß-Deutschland", many (so it appears) of whose recordings were re-released after the war, but credited only to "Großes Blasorchester mit Chor.". So, in this case, I'd have thought that they might have removed the reference to the SA and credited the vocal to "men's choir" or some suchlike.
fantasista 23rd Aug 2023		78 RPM Manhattan Quartet Und Victor Militärkapelle - Empfang Der Deutschen Fliegerhelden In Mitchell Field Mit Siegesmarsch Von Prof. Aug. J. Koehl (Reception Of The German Flying Heroes At Mitchell Field) / In Der Heimat Da Gibt's Ein Wiederseh'n (In Our Home C (1928)	@xiphophilos, this seems, if I may be so bold, like one that might interest you, both historically and musically. mp3 Edit: the B-side also includes a snippet from Unsere Marine by Richard Thiele. The A-side seems to refer to the crew of the Bremen, who made the first east-to-west transatlantic flight between April 12 and 13, 1928, and were fêted with a parade in New York on April 30, 1928.
fantasista 22nd Aug 2023		78 RPM Musikkorps III. Batl. 9 (Pr.) Inf. Regt. Spandau - Ich Hatt' Einen Kameraden / Jugend Trauert (1933)	This record seems like an interesting anomaly: the tax code DT was used from 1942-43 and then from 1948-50. Ich hatt' einen Kameraden is a traditional song and has nothing to do with the NSDAP, but it does seem unusual to me that UK HMV would have manufactured a disc for export to the US with vocals credited to an SA choir during the above timeframes.
fantasista 19th Aug 2023		78 RPM Prince's Band - National Emblem (1911)	Added repress labels on gold band label, with price sticker. Label printing code CY=Apr. 1918, A-side runout 209 19151-3, B-side runout 19152 2-J-234.
fantasista 30th Jul 2023		78 RPM Militär-Orchester - Fridericus Rex / Deutscher S.-C.-Marsch (1929)	[YouTube Video]
fantasista 6th Feb 2023		78 RPM Hans Bund - Petersburger Schlittenfahrt / Rusticanella (Lied An Die Hirtin) (1936)	I see, thanks for the correction!
fantasista 13th Dec 2022		78 RPM Francesco De Pinedo - Messaggio Agli Italiani All'estero Del Colonello Francesco De Pinedo Comandante Del Santa Maria Parte 1a / Messaggio Agli Italiani All'estero Del Colonello Francesco De Pinedo Comandante Del Santa Maria Parte 2a (1927)	A-side label added. [Mod comment. Sorted.]
fantasista 2nd Jul 2022		78 RPM Raoul Romito - Stornelli Moderni / Stornelli Fiorentini (1925)	Added earlier flag labels, A-side runout 2-A-6, B-side runout 2-A-3.
fantasista 9th Jun 2022		78 RPM Calle Reinholdz - Luffarevisa / Annas Snäckskrin (1946)	With respect to Hallberg, added higher resolution labels.
fantasista 7th Jun 2022		78 RPM Comm. E. A. Mario - Il Mito / Ll'Acquaiuolo... (1923)	DAHR lists a recording date of 1921, which must be a mistake. 1923 release date based on nearby cat. numbers.
fantasista 7th Jun 2022		78 RPM Dr. W.J. Viljoen - A Message For Union Day, Pt. 1 / A Message For Union Day, Pt. 2 (1924)	Release date a guess based on nearby matrix numbers.
fantasista 6th May 2022		78 RPM Vernon Dalhart - Carson Robison (1927)	Added label variation with notice about Victor needles.
fantasista 2nd May 2022		78 RPM Fernando Guarneri - Ciribiribin / Santa Lucia (1918)	Advertised in Ward County Independent, Sept. 5, 1918.
fantasista 26th Apr 2022		78 RPM Großes Blasorchester Mit Männerchor - Lore, Lore / Horst-Wessel-Lied (Die Fahne Hoch) (1933)	Definitely a strange one. Any possibility it could be a bootleg? Here is a stamped white label Telefunken from 1936, not sure if there are any others on the site
fantasista 17th Apr 2022		78 RPM Sterling Trio - Beautiful Isle Of Somewhere / Beula Land (1917)	78discography.com lists the B-side matrix number as N68939=1B and gives a recording date of Nov. 1920; obviously impossible for a record with a release date of 1917.
fantasista 9th Apr 2022		78 RPM Arthur Pryor's Band - Dixie / Sunny South (1910)	$500 does seem a... bit much. For what it's worth, I paid $3 for mine in E condition or thereabouts. They're good performances, but it's certainly not a rare record.
fantasista 9th Apr 2022		78 RPM M. César Vezzani - Mattinata / Les Millions D'Arlequin (1932)	We have an entry for a French label called Gramophone and another entitled Disque "Gramophone" which functionally are the same thing: perhaps the latter should be merged with Gramophone?
