Graham7 20th Oct 2014		78 RPM Victor Payne - Little Dolly Daydream / The Flying Dutchman (1929)	This record is listed on Dance Band Encyclopaedia - Victory7. So I've changed the cat# to 93. 648 (as per the URL of this page) is the matrix number of "The Flying Dutchman", "Little Dolly Daydream" is #655. Hope to soon double the number of The Victory records we have here - 20 currently listed, 20 more to add. I'll use the sides with the royalty stamp as the A side, the other sides were usually out of copyright tunes, therefore cheaper, so I'll make them the B side. .
Graham7 18th Oct 2014		Cylinder Harlan And Stanley - Tell Me (Dusky Maiden) (1903)	Added my first (and probably last) cylinder record. The detail is taken from the box lid, not sure if the box and cylinder I have all match up. Have added scans of the box label, created by rolling it along the scanner. The UCSB Library have got this. They say it's an Edison Gold Moulded Record based on the cat#, and from 1903. Mp3 or streaming available.
Graham7 23rd Sep 2014		78 RPM Scott Wood - Night And Day / After You, Who? (1933)	I wonder if this is the same Scott Wood as in George Scott Wood Accordion Band? The A side label scan was my 1,000th image upload here!
Graham7 20th Sep 2014		78 RPM [no artist listed] - [none] / This May Be Of Interest To You	Found 2 of these little aluminium discs (I'm right out of wooden needles at the moment!), but they were discs that you could record a message on one side, and the other side was a pre-recorded advertisment. See here and here(scroll down to 8 April 2007 - with audio links)
Graham7 8th Sep 2014		78 RPM Sidney Raymond And His Commanders - Dreaming / Wanderer (1932)	According to Dance Band Encyclopaedia (scroll right down to 1092) this is actually a recording by Syd Lipton's Grosvenor House Band.
Graham7 2nd Sep 2014		78 RPM Debroy Somers Band - The Blue Danube / Wiener Blut (1930)	Labels added with Hawkes & Son, and BIEM markings.
Graham7 2nd Sep 2014		78 RPM Nat "King" Cole - Unforgettable / Because Of Rain (1951)	A side added. Copyright Control instead of Bourne Limited. B side as existing B side image.
Graham7 2nd Sep 2014		78 RPM Earl Bostic - Flamingo / Sleep (1952)	Added labels with publisher stamps. Flamingo: [YouTube Video] Sleep: written by Earl Liebig on tony p's label scan, by Earl Lebieg on mine, which would appear to be the correct spelling. (Edit: have now read the comments on the linked French issue, so have edited this entry accordingly)
Graham7 31st Aug 2014		78 RPM Arranged For Eight Pianos - I Cover The Waterfront / Sweetheart Darlin' (1933)	"Arranged For Eight Pianos" would appear to be the artist name - a strange one - if someone thinks that the conductor, Harold Ramsay, would more appropriate, then it can be changed!
Graham7 30th Aug 2014		78 RPM Hal Swain - If I Could Be With You / I Still Get A Thrill (Thinking Of You) (1930)	Yes, it would be identical. I've found out that Unison Records are Broadcast records branded for sale in Co-op stores. See my comment on 318. I've taken the liberty of fixing your youtube links.
Graham7 25th Aug 2014		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Mr And Mrs Is The Name / Flirtation Walk (1935)	Cinecord was a product of British Homophone, and were for public performance without having to pay a fee. This is an anonymous performance by Billy Merrin And His Commanders. Info from Dance Band Encyclopaedia, where you can find a listing of the other 20 or so records all released in 1935
Graham7 25th Aug 2014		78 RPM George Formby - I'm A Froggie / The Ghost (1936)	[YouTube Video]
Graham7 25th Aug 2014		78 RPM Bing Crosby - Miss You / Mandy Is Two (1942)	Added TT (=Triple Tax!) labels. Dates my copy to between April 1943 and April 1946. Not sure what the NP on the existing scans means, maybe the equivalent of NT (1953-55)?
Graham7 25th Aug 2014		78 RPM The Jolly Rollickers - The Man On The Flying Trapeze / The Man On The Flying Trapeze (Contd.) (1933)	Interesting how the labels have different publishers printed for the 2 parts of the same song! I've added a pair of scans which have B Feldman & Co stamps affixed on both sides
Graham7 21st Aug 2014		78 RPM Novelty Orchestra - Puzzle Record, No. 2 (1931)	Shoulda looked on youtube! Hear all six tracks here - [YouTube Video] - 4 instrumentals and 2 vocal tracks, "I'll Be Good Because Of You" and "Goodnight Sweetheart", sung by Al Bowlly
Graham7 20th Aug 2014		78 RPM Lew Sylva - Good Friends / When The Guards Are On Parade (1931)	Added cleaner A side (original hidden), and B side variant with different Lawrence Wright publisher stamp.
Graham7 20th Aug 2014		78 RPM Ramon Newton - Virginia (There's A Blue Ridge In My Heart) / Was It A Dream? (1928)	Also added Unison bag, as this is only the second record on this label we have. A rebranding of the Broadcast label, these were sold by the Co-Operative society ("The Co-Op") - ref. mgthomas.co.uk.
Graham7 20th Aug 2014		78 RPM Columbia Light Symphony Orchestra - London Fantasia (1945)	From Clive Richardson's obituary in The Independent: "At the outbreak of war he immediately ceased all musical activities. Already an officer in the Territorial Reserve, he was posted to a succession of Ack-Ack Battalions and served in Coventry, Manchester and Birmingham. His experiences of the bombing in these cities and both the horrors and courage that he witnessed were the inspiration for his London Fantasia, a short concert work in the spirit of Richard Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto (Dangerous Moonlight, 1941), and it proved to be Richardson's first popular hit (the recording with the composer at the piano accompanied by the Columbia Light Symphony orchestra conducted by Charles Williams was a best seller in 1945/46)." [YouTube Video]
Graham7 26th Jul 2014		78 RPM Novelty Orchestra - Puzzle Record, No. 2 (1931)	Another broken record, fragments salvaged from charity shop just to add here. So there's no chance of telling you the tunes featured. There is a similar record: Jimmie Rodgers' Puzzle Record
Graham7 26th Jul 2014		78 RPM Kathleen Ferrier - I Will Walk With My Love / The Stuttering Lovers (1952)	Added variant scans (from a broken record). Publishers shown in words rather than logos. There are 2 separate bands on side A, so I've amended the track listing.
Graham7 26th Jul 2014		78 RPM Colt Brothers - Eleven More Months And Ten More Days (Part 1) / Eleven More Months And Ten More Days (Part 2) (1930)	Added gold print labels. Copyright Campbell Connelly instead of Associated Copyrights.
Graham7 24th Jul 2014		78 RPM Ambrose - Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin' All The Time) / You've Got Me Crying Again (1933)	A 1970 compilation LP confirms B side (You've Got Me Crying Again) vocalist as Elsie Carlise, and shows recording date 5th May 1933.
Graham7 24th Jul 2014		78 RPM Ambrose - Copenhagen / Limehouse Blues (1935)	Limehouse Blues recorded 8th August 1935, arranged by Sid Phillips. (ref: 1970 LP)
Graham7 24th Jul 2014		78 RPM Ambrose - Cupid / The Show Is Over (1934)	The Show Is Over recorded 12th June 1934, vocal refrain by Sam Browne. (ref: 1970 LP)
Graham7 16th Jul 2014		78 RPM Jascha Heifetz, Arturo Toscanini, NBC Symphony Orchestra - Beethoven Concerto In D, Op. 61 (1940)	Corrected wrong spelling: Jasha - and linked to Jascha Heifetz/. It looks like this is a 9 sided set, side 5(?) needs a scan adding.
Graham7 22nd Jun 2014		78 RPM Frank Sinatra - If You Are But A Dream / Kiss Me Again (1945)	I can't decide which is the A side here. As to date, it would appear to be 1943 or 1944.
Graham7 9th Jun 2014		78 RPM Sound Effects - Football Crowd B.G. / Cheers	I've had this disc for years. Can't work out what B.G. stands for, Big Game? Brooklyn Giants? Maybe label should be Audiodisc but it is (was) property of CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System). Anyone else got any of these?
Graham7 28th Apr 2014		78 RPM Carroll Gibbons And His Boy Friends - You've Got To Admit / Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (When Your Heart's On Fire) (1934)	[YouTube Video]
Graham7 28th Apr 2014		78 RPM Louis Armstrong - A Theme From The Threepenny Opera (Mack The Knife) / Back O' Town Blues (1956)	Added cat# variant, PB. 574 A side label with Copyright Control instead of Arcadia Music . Would Copyright Control indicate the earlier issue, perhaps before publisher was known - or claimed? (edited 8 Mar 2015 - noticed cat# variant, so also added B side)
Graham7 17th Feb 2014		78 RPM Heifetz - Introduction And Rondo Capriccioso, Op. 28 (Part 1) / Introduction And Rondo Capriccioso, Op. 28 (Conclusion) (1935)	Scanned this 6 months ago, but couldn't work out how best to add. So I've kept it simple, and linked to Jascha Heifetz, though we have some big names in support, namely John Barbirolli conducting The London Philharmonic Orchestra.
