fantasista 9th Apr 2022		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Novena Di Natale / Pastorale (1917)	A tricky one here because "zampogna & ciaramella" refers to the instruments (bagpipes and oboe); not sure if that works as an artist name in this case.
fantasista 9th Apr 2022		78 RPM Arthur Pryor's Band - Dixie / Sunny South (1910)	Added label variant with price and no patent info.
fantasista 2nd Apr 2022		78 RPM Benjamino Gigli - Funiculî-Funiculà / Povero Pulcinella (1925)	[YouTube Video]
fantasista 1st Apr 2022		78 RPM Benjamino Gigli - Mattinata / Torna A Surriento (1936)	[YouTube Video]
fantasista 30th Mar 2022		78 RPM Hans Bund - Petersburger Schlittenfahrt / Rusticanella (Lied An Die Hirtin) (1936)	Added white test label images.
fantasista 30th Mar 2022		78 RPM Encore Elite Orchestra - The Darkies' Frolic / The Choristers Valse (1912)	Added clearer label images, which are also a variation with the addition of the note "Recorded in London, reproduced in Prussia."
fantasista 28th Mar 2022		78 RPM Dachauer Bauernkapelle - Lagermarsch / Defiliermarsch (1912)	I see, thanks for the correction and the additional info via the link. 1912 does seem more likely, indeed.
fantasista 28th Mar 2022		78 RPM Dachauer Bauernkapelle - Lagermarsch / Defiliermarsch (1912)	A-side audio, B-side audio from Bavarikon.
fantasista 16th Mar 2022		78 RPM Isobel Baillie And Kathleen Ferrier - Greeting / I Would That My Love (1945)	Added labels with 2 lines of copyright text.
fantasista 27th Feb 2022		78 RPM Various Artists - Anytime / Slow Poke	Budget cover label, same numbering scheme and label format as Waldorf label.
fantasista 27th Feb 2022		78 RPM Various Artists - Wheel Of Fortune / Trust In Me	1950s budget/knock-off label, clearly related to this Canadian label of the same name.
fantasista 13th Dec 2021		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Der Duce spricht zum italienischem Volk und zur Welt / Kämpfer zur See, zu Lande, und in der Luft (1940)	Just another note re: this disc, I would assume that the 19 45 and 20 00 marked on either side refer to the time these messages were to be broadcast.
fantasista 11th Dec 2021		78 RPM Frank Tinney Assisted By Chas. A. Prince - Frank Tinney's First Record / Frank Tinney's Second Record (1915)	This was the first and only record comedian Frank Tinney ever made. The label copy writer also seems to have misunderstood the meaning of the word "monolog." Audio from DAHR
fantasista 11th Dec 2021		78 RPM Abe Lyman And His Californians - She'll Be Comin' Round The Mountain / Hand Me Down My Walkin' Cane (1940)	[YouTube Video]
fantasista 11th Dec 2021		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Der Duce spricht zum italienischem Volk und zur Welt / Kämpfer zur See, zu Lande, und in der Luft (1940)	Thanks xiphophilos, I really appreciate you taking the time to transcribe this. As regards track A1, a difficulty with this record (aside from the condition) is that the engineer didn't leave any lead-in - the recording starts right at the beginning of the first groove. It took me maybe 20 tries just to capture the word "Kämpfer."
fantasista 11th Dec 2021		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Der Duce spricht zum italienischem Volk und zur Welt / Kämpfer zur See, zu Lande, und in der Luft (1940)	Okay, it should work now, I also had to set the individual tracks to public. Soundcloud says private tracks should be available to people who have a direct link, so that's what tripped me up.
fantasista 11th Dec 2021		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Der Duce spricht zum italienischem Volk und zur Welt / Kämpfer zur See, zu Lande, und in der Luft (1940)	@xiphophilos, I set it to public now, my mistake. Incidentally: there are 3 different voices reading the pieces on this disc, they can all also be heard on this compilation of war bulletins and propaganda pieces.
fantasista 11th Dec 2021		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Der Duce spricht zum italienischem Volk und zur Welt / Kämpfer zur See, zu Lande, und in der Luft (1940)	This disc was already badly delaminating and otherwise deteriorated when I bought it, what I did manage to transfer from it can be heard here. Unfortunately it was impossible to transfer the last (and most famous) part of the speech. If a native German speaker could give an idea of what's being said in the other tracks (assuming one can hear it over the noise), I'd much appreciate it. I would tentatively guess that B205 and B206 refer to war bulletins.
fantasista 4th Dec 2021		78 RPM Ruth Wallis - The Pistol Song / Tonight For Sure (1949)	Added label variant, with corrected B-side mx. number. This copy has nothing in the dead wax.
fantasista 4th Dec 2021		78 RPM Ruth Wallis - The Admiral's Daughter (The New Dinghy Song) / The Sweater Girl (1949)	Added label variant, though still providing no answer to the question posed by slholzer.
fantasista 4th Dec 2021		78 RPM The Midnighters - Sexy Ways / Don't Say Your Last Goodbye (1954)	Label images added.
fantasista 28th Nov 2021		78 RPM Campbell And Burr - If I'm Not At The Roll Call (Kiss Mother Good-bye For Me) / They'll Be Mighty Proud In Dixie Of Their Old Black Joe (1918)	Added label images.
fantasista 28th Nov 2021		78 RPM Herbert Stuart - We'll Never Let The Old Flag Fall / Good Luck To The Boys Of The Allies (1916)	Somehow I didn't notice earlier that this record is listed as 12" - it's actually a 10" disc. And, if you look at the matrix info on DAHR it states "Master size - 10 in." The 12" designation here is a mistake.
fantasista 25th Nov 2021		78 RPM Gene Austin - Ya Gotta Know How To Love / Bye Bye Blackbird (1926)	With respect to @SeverlyWarpedRecord, added clearer A-side label, and B-side label.
fantasista 24th Nov 2021		78 RPM Harry Macdonough - Hosanna / Holy Night (1908)	It seems to me this must have been a big seller in its time: Macdonough recorded the A-side at no less than 5 different sessions between 1907 and 1916, yielding 10 takes of which 4 were released. Both sides were re-recorded once more by Lewis James in 1923 and 1922, respectively, and issued as the same catalogue number, which was finally deleted only after the switch to electric recording.
fantasista 23rd Nov 2021		78 RPM Harry Lauder - I Love A Lassie (My Scotch Bluebell) (1910)	Added better label scan, and a variation - "Scotch" is to the left of the spindle hole.
fantasista 19th Nov 2021		78 RPM Nicola Fasciolo - Per Te Immenso Giubilo / La Vergine Degli Angeli	Italian label text suggests this might actually be an Italian release. "Imperator" is Latin, not Spanish.
fantasista 3rd Nov 2021		78 RPM Long Cleve Reed And Little Harvey Hull-Down Home Boys - Mama You Don't Know How / Original Stack O' Lee Blues (1927)	Great story. Is there still only one copy known to exist?
fantasista 24th Oct 2021		78 RPM Gus Stone (The Canadian Cohn) - Cohen Exceeds The Speed Limit / Cohen At The Pay-Station (1917)	Just some notes regarding the "Canadian Cohen" and the Berliner 216000 series, from this article by Sandria P. Bouliane (French): ...it is with Cohen that Canada made a more concrete entrance upon the scene. In 1917, the first series of records dedicated to Canadian artists and recorded in Canada is produced in Montréal for the Berliner Gramophone Company on its His Master's Voice (HMV) label, in English, and La voix de son maître, in French, identified as HMV 216000. Cohen monologues and dialogues are cut on the second, third and fourth records made for this series. The character is played by Gus Stone, pseudonym of Herbert Berliner (1882-1966), then-president of Berliner Gramophone and project manager of the series. So it is that at the beginning of 1917 "Cohen on the Telephone" and other recordings appeared, bearing the reference to "The Canadian Cohen." It is difficult to document the reception of this Cohen, since Berliner was a debutant and he does not seem to have repeated the experiment. From Robert Thérien: In 1916, Herbert, through a subsidiary company, His Master's Voice, introduced the 216000 series, devoted to Canadian recordings. Later, an exclusively French-Canadian series was initiated in the HMV 263000 series. By 1920, the majority of the Berliner Gram-o-phone Company's records was recorded and pressed in Canada. Victor was vexed by this situation and asserted what must have been considerable pressure to displace Herbert Berliner from his position of control. How it was achieved will remain a mystery but, in 1921, Herbert Berliner resigned from the Berliner Gram-o-phone Company and departed for the Compo Company in Lachine, Québec, which he had established independently in 1918 to manufacture records for other recording labels. His younger brother Edgar undertook the presidency and management of Berliner; the HMV series was phased out and replaced with Victor recordings. A-side audio, B-side audio
