Graham7 17th Apr 2013		78 RPM The Selmer Players And Singers - Three Little Kittens / Farmer's In The Dell (1969)	The date on this appears to be 1968, as it does for the other one on this label we have here. 1968 is not an available option when entering 78s. There are 3 further examples of this series, all by The Selmer Players, on 45cat.
Graham7 22nd Mar 2013		78 RPM Coon Sanders' Original Nighthawk Orchestra - Deep Henderson / Hi-Diddle-Diddle (1926)	Carleton Coon and Joe Sanders' Nighthawk Orchestra (wikipedia) Recorded 1926 ! [YouTube Video]
Graham7 20th Mar 2013		78 RPM Nick Lucas And His Troubadours - All Of Me (Quiéreme Del Todo) / Good Night Ladies (1932)	There is a page with mp3s of all the 1930-32 Hit of the Week records at archive.org
Graham7 20th Mar 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cantor - Cheer Up (1931)	There is a page with mp3s of all the 1930-32 Hit of the Week records at archive.org
Graham7 19th Mar 2013		78 RPM Stuart Robertson - The White Horse Inn / Betty Co-Ed (1931)	A side label diameter 2⅞", B side 3⅜" Here's Betty Co-ed, [YouTube Video] a version of which I recently added as Betty-Coed (by Hotel Pennsylvania Music)
Graham7 19th Mar 2013		78 RPM Master Yehudi Menuhin - La Capricciosa / Allegro (1929)	These must be some of Yehudi Menuhin's earliest recordings. He was not yet 12 at the time of these. Also on Victor Red Seal 1329. I used the lower UK matrix# for the A side here. La Capricciosa [YouTube Video] Allegro [YouTube Video]
Graham7 18th Mar 2013		78 RPM Band Of H.M. Scots Guards - Coronation Bells / The Bells Of Auld Lang Syne (1930)	The cat# suggests 1930/31. I'm sure you've seen the website of Mike Thomas who suggests Coronation Bells as A. The only Coronation I can find around then is that of Haile Selassie. Maybe of no relevence (that's where t'int'net takes you), here's a Dutch film with English subtitles. [YouTube Video]
Graham7 18th Mar 2013		78 RPM Band Of H.M. Scots Guards - Coronation Bells / The Bells Of Auld Lang Syne (1930)	Juke Jules, thanks for adding this - I've just linked my 45cat list to the discog for Scots Guards here. ( the label images don't match the A/B as entered? )
Graham7 18th Mar 2013		78 RPM Roberto Inglez - The Green Cockatoo / Chiquita Banana (The Banana Song) (1946)	lorangrecords, thanks for adding all these dates. Is your Parlophone discography available on the interwebs? I couldn't find dates for a lot of the Parlophones I added (on google). {Can you do the same for HMV?}
Graham7 17th Mar 2013		78 RPM Dennis King - Song Of The Vagabonds / Only A Rose (1927)	Song Of The Vagabonds [YouTube Video] Only A Rose [YouTube Video]
Graham7 17th Mar 2013		78 RPM Victor Young's Paramount Studio Orchestra - Strange Love (1946)	Never thought i spend 2 quid on a record I can't play but I couldn't resist this one with its strange patterned blank B side. Made of vinyl (of some sort). Hope I've entered it ok, no Cat# on label. You can watch "The Strange Love Of Martha Ivers" below. [YouTube Video]
Graham7 14th Mar 2013		78 RPM John Goss - The Sailor Likes His Bottle; Clear The Track, Let The Bullgine Run / Sally Brown; Hanging Johnny; Whisky Johnny (1928)	A side label diameter 2⅞", B side 3⅜"
Graham7 14th Mar 2013		78 RPM De Groot And Terence Casey - Cavatina / Parted (1929)	A side label diameter 2⅞", B side 3⅜". Not sure on A/B, I find it listed both ways round searching the google.
Graham7 14th Mar 2013		78 RPM Peter Dawson - A Jovial Monk Am I / The Admiral's Broom (1929)	Thanks, that is quite some list! I've had a search here for all these artist pseudonyms, and we don't yet have any of them listed.
Graham7 14th Mar 2013		78 RPM Jack Hylton - When You Played The Organ And I Sang The Rosary / When Day Is Done (1927)	Could only find When Day Is Done on the 'tube. Maybe it's the A side? [YouTube Video] Layton And Johnstone also recorded When You Played The Organ... on Columbia 4696
Graham7 13th Mar 2013		78 RPM Peter Dawson - A Jovial Monk Am I / The Admiral's Broom (1929)	I found this, is it the list?
Graham7 13th Mar 2013		78 RPM Jack Hylton's Kit-Cat Band - Dreaming The Waltz Away / While The Years Go Drifting By (1926)	Used a different name here as Jack Hylton's Kit Cat Band released several 1925-26, see here. Jack Hylton's Hyltonians (Dec 1926- May 1927) and records by The Kit Cat Band (on Columbia) should also appear here in time. Recorded Hayes, 31 Aug 1926 Here's a link to a British Pathé silent film (with non silent advert) about The Kit Cat Cub. EDIT just watched it, it has little relevance to this record. Save the 40 quid the clip costs to buy! Suff like this should surely be in the Public Domian by now?
Graham7 13th Mar 2013		78 RPM Peter Dawson - A Jovial Monk Am I / The Admiral's Broom (1929)	A Jovial Monk Am I (from La Poupée) recorded 9 Jul 1929. The composer credit on the label appears to be a typo, "La Poupée" was written by Edmond Audran. [YouTube Video] The Admiral’s Broom recorded 6 Jun 1929. (EDIT March 2016: Replacement video added - it includes my label image!) Looking at CHARM, it seems he recorded it many times, firstly in 1906. (Not sure at all about A/B side, I used the higher matrix#, as there was a gap between them)
Graham7 13th Mar 2013		78 RPM New Light Symphony Orchestra - Barcarolle (1926)	Labels added. The A side label diameter is 3⅝", and the B side 3⅜". Would A sides normally have a larger label, or is it pretty random? I notice several of the HMVs I still have to go through have different size labels.
Graham7 10th Mar 2013		78 RPM Sam Lanin - 99 Out Of A Hundred Wanna Be Loved / Betty-Coed (1931)	Maybe this should be credited to 'Sam Lanin's Famous Players', as there would appear to be lots of other records with that credit, see here, some of which may well turn up here one day.
Graham7 10th Mar 2013		78 RPM Band Of The Royal Air Force - Royal Air Force March / The Duke Of York (1942)	One of 11 records released on Royal Air Force label, via HMV. Found a listing here.
Graham7 6th Mar 2013		78 RPM Harry Roy - You've Been Taking Lessons In Love / Why Did She Fall For The Leader Of The Band (1936)	There are 5 records credited to Harry Roy & his Orchestra and one to ..& his Band. Shouldn't these all be simplified to join the 8 by Harry Roy? This was recorded 15 Jan 1936, see here
Graham7 6th Mar 2013		78 RPM Jack Leon's Symphonic Dance Band - Pagan Love Song / Singin' In The Rain (1929)	One of the nicest labels I've seen yet. I entered the cat# as No. 373, the system has capitalised it. All 3 Piccadilly records so far now have the cat# in a different way, I'm not sure which way is best.
Graham7 5th Mar 2013		78 RPM Barry Snow - There's A Lovely Lake In Loveland / There Are Dreams In Your Eyes When We Dance (1950)	1949/50? Found it - Jun 1950
Graham7 5th Mar 2013		78 RPM Carl Brisson - It's You I Love (C'est Vous Que J'aime) / Why? (1930)	Year 1929/30? There was a film called "Sons O' Guns" in 1936, but this is from a 1929 stage show, I think..
Graham7 4th Mar 2013		78 RPM Edmundo Ros - Rumba Royal (A Recipe For Romance) / Cuanto Le Gusta (1948)	I've started on Decca, mainly because they helpfully added A/B to their labels. (6 more after this) No youtube found for this. (lots of mp3 for sale tho') ...must get a graphophone of some sort....
Graham7 4th Mar 2013		78 RPM Anton Karas - The "Harry Lime" Theme / The Cafe Mozart Waltz (1949)	+IP tax code label added. "For reasons unknown, the Decca group did not use DT during the second period of the 662/3% rate, but used instead CT from April 1948 to the end of 1949, and the IP or +IP until April 1953" From 78rpm.net.nz
Graham7 4th Mar 2013		78 RPM Rayner's Dance Orchestra - Chloe (Song Of The Swamp) / Roll Away Clouds (1928)	Apparantly the actual artist here is Lud Gluskin & his Orch. {ref} That's all my 3 Pathé Perfect records added.
Graham7 4th Mar 2013		78 RPM Leslie Saunders - My Inspiration Is You / In Old Vienna (1928)	Apparantly the actual artist on this is Lud Gluskin & his Orch. {ref}
Graham7 4th Mar 2013		78 RPM Lennox Dance Orchestra - Ah! Sweet Mystery Of Life / Beloved (1928)	According to mgthomas' Perfect Discography, I now have the sides the right way round. The actual artist on the record is apparantly Willard Robison & his Orch. Perfect was manufactured by Pathé, and was active 1927-28. It should be linked to the US Perfect label. I've also added a scan of what's left of the one company sleeve I have. They retailed for 1/6d.
