Felonious 28th Jul 2023		78 RPM Pat Boone - I'll Be Home / Tutti Frutti (1956)	Thank you for pointing to the NME and the correction.
Felonious 7th Jun 2023		78 RPM Kay Starr - Wheel Of Fortune / I Wanna Love You (1952)	The billboard ad is dated February 9 which suggests Wheel of Fortune was the intended A side.
Felonious 26th Mar 2023		78 RPM Pat Boone - I'll Be Home / Tutti Frutti (1956)	Where is the evidence that "I'll be home" is the A side of this 78?
Felonious 1st May 2022		78 RPM Stevie Wonder - Kiss Me Baby (1965)	Stevie Wonder mimed to this 78 RPM acetate on Ready Steady Go. Acetate courtesy of Mick Smith.
Felonious 16th Jan 2022		78 RPM Frank Sinatra - Chicago / All The Way (1957)	All the way Reached Number 3 in the NME charts, 13 Dec 1957. It was also awarded a Gold Disc
Felonious 11th Feb 2018		78 RPM Al Martino - Here In My Heart / I Cried Myself To Sleep (1952)	Not sure how accurate the original first NME chart would have been, as it was only based on 20 outlets, Probably more accurate than the self styled "official" charts taken from the minimally circulated and almost unknown in the sixties Record Retailer chart.
Felonious 12th Apr 2016		78 RPM Betty Wells, Bill Marine And The Playmates - The Gingerbread Man / Brave Little Sambo (1962)	Entry and scans originally submitted to 45cat by steviebegood. Thanks to RecordDragon for the videos, [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
Felonious 12th Apr 2016		78 RPM Jerry Bruno With The Playmates - Tubby The Tuba / Billy Boy (1958)	Entry and scans originally submitted to 45Cat by 45rpm+
Felonious 9th Mar 2016		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Bestway Calypso	Originally submitted to 45Cat by teabiscuit "1962 estimated. 7" if it plays at 78rpm A side has a typical label, B side has a large label covering most of the back with lyrics. Male vocal & guitar"
Felonious 13th Nov 2015		78 RPM Liberace - Lullaby / Dark Eyes (1953)	Thanks to Fred Hoyt for images and the following comment Added picture sleeve scan - back is blank. Added promotional record label scans for 7" 78 RPM from Peoples National Bank Of Washington (Seattle) "A Pioneer Bank That Changes With The Times" Seven-inch picture sleeve is included in Sleeve Guide even though it's a 78 RPM record. There are a number of these that probably were never issued as 45 RPM records.
Felonious 15th May 2015		78 RPM Various Artists - All Star Hit Parade No. 2 (1957)	With thanks to lorangrecords for original sleeve and to Doowopjimbo for their replacements.
Felonious 1st Dec 2014		78 RPM Gilbert Mack, Jimmy Carroll And Orchestra - Pixie And Dixie / Iddy Biddy Buddy (1962)	The vinyl is pink but when I scan it it comes out the same shade of as nanocyar's scan. I used paint.net to manipulate the colour of the vinyl. The label scans are the correct shades.
Felonious 20th May 2014		78 RPM Jerry Lee Lewis - Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On / It'll Be Me (1957)	This discussion took place under the entry for the 45 RPM release Tony P 9th Mar 2012 Thanks Bill. I knew it is not an easy difference to describe. I have checked my 78's and the latest black and gold London 78 I have is HL8132. bill mann 9th Mar 2012 Yes Tony P, I have 8886 on 78 by Ritchie Valens, 'Bluebirds over the Mountains', the label on this one is the same colours as the 45s ie definite silver and jet black. whereas the normal silver top 78 label is a sort of very very dark brown with a different shade of silver, almost shades of sepia, if you get my drift. The other difference is the old label is shiny, Ritchie's is matt like the 45s Tony P 9th Mar 2012 I will check the number of the latest black and gold London 78 that I have. I used to have a couple of the very last of the London 78's including Keeley Smith (8984). I remember that the label for these was very slightly different. Does anyone else remember this difference? KeithS 9th Mar 2012 Early HL 8000 series 78's continued with the same black labels as the L500's and eventually changed to silver tops. The silver tops then started as "London-American" rather than just London. The design of the 45 label followed a similar pattern but the changes happened much later Maxonian 8th Mar 2012 John Lee Hooker's Too Much Boogie is all black. 78 only of course. David M. McKee 8th Mar 2012 All the London 78s I've seen have been siver tops Maxonian 8th Mar 2012 No, the 78 by the HL 84xx stage would always be silver top. I have elarier 78s bought new at the time with silver top. Only the very early HL80xx seem to be all black. plerner 8th Mar 2012 I may get banished for mentioning this but I've just bought the 78 of this single (fabulous sound quality) and my question is, with a black and silver label quite like (but not the same as) the round centre 45 label pictured above, would my 78 be a later issue, and would there have been an earlier 78 release with a black label (like the tri centre version)? Perhaps one of our London label experts (Mr McKee?) might be able to assist?
Felonious 8th Mar 2014		78 RPM Earl Van Dyke - All For You (1965)	Released officially as TMG 506
Felonious 31st Jan 2014		78 RPM Clyde McPhatter - Everyone's Laughing / Hot Ziggity (1955)	B side scan submitted by MPGRET
Felonious 22nd Jan 2014		78 RPM Barry Frank - Why Do Fools Fall In Love / I'll Be Home (1956)	Scans originally submtted by jimmyx. The stamp indicates this is an import issue.
