GumboStu 12th May 2021		78 RPM Jimmie Rodgers - Blue Yodel No. 3 / Never No Mo' Blues (1929)	So the date for the Regal Zonophone T issues would be 1932 when the companies merged, continuing to press the Zonophone catalogue. An MR prefix denotes an initial issue (or re-issue with a new catalogue number) after the merger. Thanks, I often wondered about this, and finally looked it up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regal_Zonophone_Records

GumboStu 17th May 2016		78 RPM Clarence Williams - Wildflower Rag / Midnight Stomp	Note the two spellings of Moldy Fig/Mouldie Fygge on the label. Ted Staunton puts it in the late 50s.
GumboStu 17th May 2016		78 RPM Les Emery - Bad Man Boogie / My Foolish Heart	The label says Paramont, not Paramount. Is it a mis-spelled Label or a mis-printed label? :-)

GumboStu 13th May 2016		78 RPM Jelly-Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers - Jungle Blues / Wild Man Blues	It's fascinating how the same personnel are Louis Armstrong's Hot Five, King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, Johnny Dodds' Hot Six and Morton's Hot Peppers. I'd love a recommendation for a book which clarifies how the different bands morphed in and out of each other around this time if anyone knows a good read.
GumboStu 13th May 2016		78 RPM Jelly-Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers - Jungle Blues / Wild Man Blues	I'm assuming this is the re-issue of the Bluebird since that was the only release with these two tracks back to back. That release had Wild Man Blues as the A side, but I've followed the 'earlier matrix' convention here. So Wild Man Blues is take 1 and a second take was released on Merritt #1 Jungle Blues is take 2 and a take 3 was issued on Victor 21345-A according to doctorjazz.co.uk. Jungle Blues: [YouTube Video] Wild Man Blues: [YouTube Video]
