GimmeVinyl 10th Dec 2021		78 RPM Sam Cooke - You Send Me / Summertime (1957)	I'd just seen this 78 today... Could not believe my eyes at first.. a little beat up, but looks playable. It's gotta be worth $5, right?
GimmeVinyl 10th Dec 2021		78 RPM Muddy Waters - I'm Your Hoochie Cooche Man / She's So Pretty (1954)	Bought it today for $5... Not mint but a good playable disc... One of the shining stars of my collection!
GimmeVinyl 10th Dec 2021		78 RPM Guitar Slim - The Things That I Used To Do / Well, I Done Got Over It (1953)	I've just read that Ray Charles himself is on the piano..
GimmeVinyl 7th Dec 2021		78 RPM Guitar Slim - The Things That I Used To Do / Well, I Done Got Over It (1953)	Well... Guess what 78 that I picked up for $5 yesterday... And the store had 2 copies of this! My first Specialty label 78.
GimmeVinyl 12th Nov 2021		78 RPM The Platters - The Great Pretender / I'm Just A Dancing Partner (1955)	Added another label variant... Release date and music publisher stayed as Panther Music Corp. ASCAP. Scored this today.. for $1.99.. clean, plays nice! How well did I do?
GimmeVinyl 12th Nov 2021		78 RPM Fats Domino - I'm In Love Again / My Blue Heaven (1956)	Scored this today... $2.99 wasn't too high a price, was it?
GimmeVinyl 31st Jul 2020		78 RPM The Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand / This Boy (1963)	Ok.. I figured out how I screwed up. I can see the video now!
GimmeVinyl 29th Jul 2020		78 RPM The Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand / This Boy (1963)	[YouTube Video]
GimmeVinyl 27th Jul 2020		78 RPM The Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand / This Boy (1963)	Just seen a YouTube video.. some guy playing the Indian Parlophone 78 pressing of "This Boy" on a very early Victrola VI... Saying that I'm having rather mixed feelings about this is an understatement..
GimmeVinyl 27th Jul 2020		78 RPM Harry James - Ain't Misbehavin' / 9:20 Special (1945)	Hey fellas... This YouTube clip by the78prof of the Columbia 9:20 Special pressing is not the same as my Columbia pressing... There are several very noticeable differences.. in the trumpet solo, the sax solo.. even the piano solo near the end of the song.. and I can prove it! Go to YouTube, and listen to the video that Kevin Gardner posted playing the pressing on the 60's Magnavox portable. That's the pressing I own! Also.. the video by Joseph T. Porter on a late 30's Radiola, and two videos posted by Mac NOMURA, played on a pair of acoustic Victrolas.. these are also the pressing that I own! So... Is there another "take" that was released on perhaps an LP by Columbia?
GimmeVinyl 24th Jul 2020		78 RPM Harry James - Ain't Misbehavin' / 9:20 Special (1945)	Ahh... The trumpet solo about 30 seconds into the tune is a dead giveaway, now that I've heard them side by side... And the brass section sounds a little brighter on the V-Disc as compared to the Columbia pressing.
GimmeVinyl 24th Jul 2020		78 RPM Harry James - Ain't Misbehavin' / 9:20 Special (1945)	My question is... Is this the same recording of 9:20 Special as on V-Disc 518a?
GimmeVinyl 21st Jul 2020		78 RPM Lefty Frizzell - I Love You A Thousand Ways / If You've Got The Money I've Got The Time (1950)	Wow.. that recording BigBadBluesMan has on YouTube doesn't sound like my copy at all!! I'll have to look into this. The pressing I own has a faster tempo, and features an electric guitar solo. Now I know why! The Lefty Frizzell pressing I own is titled "If You Can Spare The Time", Columbia 20950 from 1952..
GimmeVinyl 21st Jul 2020		78 RPM Capt Glenn Miller And The Army Air Forces Training Command Orchestra - Everybody Loves My Baby (But My Baby Don't Love Nobody But Me) / Stompin' At The Savoy (1944)	Ahh.. OK! Good luck on finding a V-Disc near mint!! I was lucky enough to find a collection in a antique store with the pressings in playable condition for $7-8 a piece! A little info on this particular pressing.. both A side tunes, "Everybody Loves My Baby" and "Stompin' at The Savoy" were broadcast on May 20, 1944 from NBC's Vanderbilt Theater in New York. Live feed from this broadcast was recorded onto 16" 33 1/3 rpm "safeties". These transcription discs were sent to the V-Disc offices in New York, and were thus shortly later dubbed into a 12" 78 rpm master for V-Disc production and pressed at RCA's Camden facility. The B side, "Stealin' Apples" was from a earlier V-Disc recording session at RCA studios in New York on January 21, 1944.
GimmeVinyl 21st Jul 2020		78 RPM Capt Glenn Miller And The Army Air Forces Training Command Orchestra - Everybody Loves My Baby (But My Baby Don't Love Nobody But Me) / Stompin' At The Savoy (1944)	My favorite Glenn Miller recording that wasn't released on Bluebird/Victor. The $60 valuation..would that be for a relatively "clean" copy? My copy would not be in the "mint" category, but plays very nicely, when you consider the playback equipment these discs were subjected to!!
GimmeVinyl 21st Jul 2020		78 RPM Benny Goodman - Bugle Call Rag / Sometimes I'm Happy (1943)	I thought that I owned this disc, but I don't.. I own the Navy disc #154 of Benny Goodman's Bugle Call Rag.
GimmeVinyl 29th Mar 2020		78 RPM The Crew-Cuts - Sh-Boom / I Spoke Too Soon (1954)	I had a very nice copy of Nat King Cole's Unforgettable that slipped out of my hands after playing it one nite.. that one fared a lot worse. That explains why there's only the A side label, eh?
GimmeVinyl 10th Feb 2020		78 RPM Mel Blanc - Yosemite Sam / I Taut I Taw A Puddy Tat (1951)	Actually.. this was a hit record for Mel Blanc.. on the Hit Parade, 1951. I found the 7 inch 45 at a antique shop in excellent shape. I gave it to a friend of mine that's a big Mel Blanc/Looney Toons fan... So, yeah.. I've heard it.
GimmeVinyl 10th Feb 2020		78 RPM Erna Sack - Voices Of Spring / The Nightingale	I once had this pressing, and the album it came in! It was a very good sounding recording, for sure! As for the date.. I don't remember seeing any copyright dates, but it probably wasn't too long after WWII.. because the records stated that it was recorded in Europe, and not Germany. I do see that Telefunken did release this recording in the UK in 1935.
GimmeVinyl 10th Feb 2020		78 RPM The Beach Boys - Fun Fun Fun / Little Honda (1965)	Wow.. this is crazy, man! I can just see an Indian guy, hand cranking an old Victrola, to play Fun Fun Fun...
GimmeVinyl 1st Feb 2020		78 RPM Pete Johnson And Albert Ammons - Sixth Avenue Express / Pine Creek (1941)	Here's a pic of my '41 Camden pressing.
GimmeVinyl 1st Feb 2020		78 RPM Pete Johnson And Albert Ammons - Boogie Woogie Man / Walkin' The Boogie (1941)	Here's a pic of my '43 Camden repress.. the above copy is a '46 Hollywood repress.
GimmeVinyl 1st Feb 2020		78 RPM Pete Johnson And Albert Ammons - Foot Pedal Boogie / Movin' The Boogie (1941)	Here's a couple pics of mine for scrutiny.. the pic of Foot Pedal Boogie is a 1941 Camden pressing.. and Moving The Boogie is a 1943 Camden repress
GimmeVinyl 25th Jan 2020		78 RPM Glenn Miller - Little Brown Jug / Pavanne (1939)	Silver 1943 repress on the top should be swapped with the gold Camden pressing.. [Done. All pressings have been chronologically re-ordered. Mod.]
GimmeVinyl 25th Jan 2020		78 RPM Glenn Miller - In The Mood / I Want To Be Happy (1939)	So.. Bob's late '43 to spring '45 repress is a Camden pressing?
GimmeVinyl 25th Jan 2020		78 RPM Glenn Miller - Shadow On The Sand / Five O'Clock Whistle (1940)	Nice Camden pressing, Bob1951.. the other is a Indianapolis pressing
GimmeVinyl 25th Jan 2020		78 RPM Glenn Miller - Star Dust / Pennsylvania Six-Five Thousand (1944)	So... This would be a 1946 Hollywood repress?
GimmeVinyl 25th Jan 2020		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Der Fuehrer's Face / I Wanna Go Back To West Virginia (1942)	I see the difference.. first set is an Indianapolis pressing, the second set, a Hollywood pressing.
GimmeVinyl 24th Jan 2020		78 RPM Glenn Miller - Sunrise Serenade / Moonlight Serenade (1939)	Thanks to the information below, and the info Xiphophilos provided on a Metronome All Stars Victor pressing, I should now be able to give an approximate date on all my Victor/Bluebird/RCA Victor 78 pressings, as well as identify the pressing plant. I must admit that I didn't know too much on the history of RCA's Indianapolis plant before hand. Being from the Detroit area, it will be interesting to see which pressing plants my copies originated from! My guess would be Indianapolis for discs pressed in 1939 and later.. but, you never can tell!
GimmeVinyl 21st Jan 2020		78 RPM Metronome All Star Band - Bugle Call Rag / One O'Clock Jump (1941)	Excellent information, xiphophilos! Does this also apply to the Bluebird label? I do know that Bluebird was gone when the change over to RCA Victor occurred.
