gregs45s SUBS 8th Sep 2022		78 RPM Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - The Broadcast Speech Of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II On The Evening Of Her Coronation (1953)	R.I.P. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
gregs45s SUBS 7th Feb 2022		78 RPM Margaret Whiting And Johnny Mercer - Baby, It's Cold Outside / Conversation While Dancing (1949)	With a nod to mikey405, alternate text layout labels added. Matrix A = 1-CT-B-CAP 4101-3E Matrix B = CT-B-CAP-275-A-2A-1
gregs45s SUBS 12th Jan 2019		78 RPM University Syncopators - On The Sunny Side Of The Street / Waiting For You	This differs in label design when compared to the other Goodson flexi's currently on the site,it has also the word "White",whereas the others don't i think,so was unsure of date,as No.246 uses a different design label,which runs/appears to stay the same, from 166 (1929) to 246 (1930)
gregs45s SUBS 17th Sep 2018		78 RPM Dorothy Squires - The Gipsy / Safe In My Arms Again (1945)	Added some sheet music.
gregs45s SUBS 14th Jul 2018		78 RPM The Savoy Orpheans - Irish Medley / Welsh Medley (1924)	Nice to find the sheet music for both sides of a 78 together here in a chazza :) (both dated 1924 btw)
gregs45s SUBS 23rd Jun 2018		78 RPM The Mills Brothers - Paper Doll / I'll Be Around (1943)	Added sheet music. Curiously,it features a picture of a young Frank Sinatra on the front "Featured by Frank Sinatra The Voice That Is Thrilling Millions"?,i can only presume he sung it in a movie of the time,because i can't find a release of "Paper Doll" under Frank,and not under Brunswick, Franks first 78 was on Columbia in 1945 in the UK by the looks of it.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Jun 2018		78 RPM Savoy Havana Band - Whispering Pines Of Nevada / Me And My Shadow (1927)	@DreamMachine. None taken whatsoever, clarity is the name of the game. Your scans are much easier to read, etc., and much more in common with the standard label colour. I can only think that because my scanner is fairly accurate (in terms of the factory settings, i.e., I don't normally have to add/take away anything with regard to saturation/contrast, etc.) that this particular label was as red as it appears, and over-saturated, colour-wise, with "bleeding" around the text, so may I suggest therefore promoting DreamMachine's to the fore, and hiding, but keeping mine, as a colour variant? [Done as requested. Mod.]
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Jun 2018		78 RPM Stella Williams - Homage To The Sea	I offer this up "as is", i.e., I realise it's a private recording of a Stella Williams playing on the piano (no vocal) what is (presumably) a self-penned number. If you want to delete it, that's fine by me. It's just under 12", blank on the reverse apart from regularly-spaced wide "grooves". I've tried playing it, but because of a major warp, cannot accurately determine which speed it was designed for, but I think it's 78rpm.
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Jun 2018		78 RPM George Formby - Grandad’s Flannelette Nightshirt / Mr. Wu's A Window Cleaner Now (1940)	Added a copy with a couple of additional lines of copyright info at the top of label. (DT tax code)
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Jun 2018		78 RPM The Dream Weavers - It's Almost Tomorrow / You've Got Me Wondering (1956)	Redpunk's copy,images 447542/43 is the misprint copy,with Wade "Buss" instead of the correct Wade "Buff".
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Jun 2018		78 RPM George Formby - With My Little Stick Of Blackpool Rock / Lancashire Hot Pot Swingers (1939)	A re-release of the popular A side,accompanied by a different B side. (PS have taken the date from this George Formby site which has the recording date for the B side as 20th Aug 1939,please amend if incorrect) Matrix A side = CAR4409-I and I and P (machine stamped) Matrix B side = CAR5500-I and I and R (machine stamped)
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Apr 2018		78 RPM Lena Horne - Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man / The Man I Love (1956)	A Side and date are both guesses,based on the US release,please amend if wrong. Matrix A Side = I and 47-S-30I4-I0 and R (machine stamped). Matrix B Side = I and 47-S-329-3 and G (machine stamped).
gregs45s SUBS 19th Jan 2018		78 RPM Gordon MacRae And Ray Anthony - The Surrey With The Fringe On Top / People Will Say We're In Love (1956)	@MrPasta.Hi,if i may pass on a tip?.I have found that scanners vary in their factory settings,i.e,i have had 8 different canon scanners up until this one,5 of one model and 3 of another,and have found that even though they were the same model/s,and therefore one would expect standard settings,they all differed in fact,some scanning darker,some lighter,some with differing levels of saturation etc,each needing a little "tweak" to convey a more accurate result.This current scanner for-instance,scans slightly darker than the previous one,so the "tweak" on this one is to scan,then lighten,then go into "Adjustments" then "Hue/Saturation" and increase the saturation by a few increments,until it looks more like the original. Hope that's of some help. (I should perhaps add that of course,what works for one,will not necessarily work for the other,and that each scanner will be different,it's a matter of finding the right "tweak":)

gregs45s SUBS 18th Oct 2017		78 RPM Collins And Harlan - I'm Dreaming Of You (1906)	@xiphophilos . Useful to know,thanks,seems it's a certain repress then,cheers.
gregs45s SUBS 18th Oct 2017		78 RPM Pablo De Sarasate - Zigeunerweisen (1re Partie) (1905)	Should this,and the two others of similar type already on the site read "The Gramophone And Typewriter Ltd." for the label,as it appears to change to just "Gramophone" after a certain date? (Popsike)
gregs45s SUBS 18th Oct 2017		78 RPM Collins And Harlan - I'm Dreaming Of You (1906)	@xiphophilos. Hi,no i can't find a "1" anywhere,only just noticed though that there is a machine stamped "H" on the blank side,but what you suggest is entirely plausible,i.e,a repress seems likely.
gregs45s SUBS 17th Oct 2017		78 RPM Collins And Harlan - I'm Dreaming Of You (1906)	Unsure of date here. If you went by other cat. no's already on the site, one would figure 1905/06, and yet, the notice on the back is dated Feb 1,1908. (NB: A bit of searching has the DAHR website showing this as recorded 1905-11-07, and the release date as 1/1906, so I have gone with that, and so I presume the notice on the back must have been added at a later date?)
gregs45s SUBS 12th Sep 2017		78 RPM The Crickets - Oh, Boy / Not Fade Away (1957)	Layout variation added (unsure as to which is earlier?)

gregs45s SUBS 15th May 2017		78 RPM Val And Ernie Stanton - Potpourri No.3 (English As She Is Not Spoken) / Potpourri No.4 (English As She Is Not Spoken) (1928)	Matrix (image 1339501) = Bb11664 and (triangle) and IV and 2 and m and 4-4405 (machine stamped).
