han enderman 17th May 2024		78 RPM "Ma" Rainey And Her Georgia Band - New Bo-Weavil Blues / Moonshine Blues (1928)	Pm 12603 - sharper & larger A-side image added (can be moved up)
han enderman 16th May 2024		78 RPM Lonnie Johnson - Race Series No. 19 & 20 (1936)	Par R-2259 - label images added.
han enderman 15th May 2024		78 RPM Duke Ellington - The Blues With A Feelin' / Misty Mornin' (1929)	OK 8662 - images of first and last (4th) label types added. The "not licensed" statement is characteristic for later pressings. The very last releases in this series have the bottom legend in different font.
han enderman 15th May 2024		78 RPM Jimmy Cavello And His House Rockers - Rock, Rock, Rock / The Big Beat (1957)	Vogue Q-72226 - label images added.
han enderman 14th May 2024		78 RPM Red Nichols And His Five Pennies - Peg Of My Heart / China Boy (1930)	Br(E) (0)1019 - 5 images of 3 label variants added. - There are 4 main variants: #1 catnr 1019 at 6; Warner-Brunswick. Side A without publisher's logo, B with Francis Day & Hunter logo. Addition #1a has a Francis Day & Hunter stamp and I think there is no logo under the stamp, so this is the original label of B. #2 catnr 01019 at 3. Fox-Trot after title (at 4). Tax code T. Side A still without publ. logo, B with Francis Day logo. #3 Tax code LT. Fox-Trot below title (at 8). Both sides with Francis Day logo. #4 Ascherberg publ. logo instead of F.Day logo. However, A has this logo on a type #3 label and B on a type #2 label (see position of Fox-Trot). So type #4 might be the successor of type #2, until Ascherberg was replaced by F.Day? To complicate things further, an A-side #1 label is added with an Ascherberg stamp; no tax code.
han enderman 14th May 2024		78 RPM Annette Hanshaw - I'm Sure Of Everything But You / Fit As A Fiddle (1932)	Romeo 1972-B image added.
han enderman 14th May 2024		78 RPM Marv Johnson - You Got What It Takes / Don't Leave Me (1959)	London HLT-9013 - 78rpm issue is uncommon and therefore I added these mutilated images. Popsike shows only one side, but tells us it was sold for GBP88 in 2011. Dot should be added in catnr.
han enderman 14th May 2024		78 RPM Leila Sandford - When I Am Housekeeping For You / That's How I Learned To Love You (1930)	Ariel 4539 - B-side image added. Same on discogs, but I saved it from ebay (I guess) and kept both images in their original size (with the A-side showing the OK matrix).
han enderman 14th May 2024		78 RPM Eddie Dean - I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven / Stealing (1955)	Quality 1346 - the "Complimentary" copy is the original pressing, as could be expected, and should be moved up (and the title changed). It has a different bottom legend. The last issue with this label type in this series is 1357, and the new type started with 1358, Joe Turner's Flip Flop And Fly. Repressings of 1346 will have the new type.
han enderman 14th May 2024		78 RPM Tom Cook - Rovin' Gambler / Missouri Joe (1930)	Madison 50027 - added variant of B-side, with different font used for the ampersand (&). I assume that this is the original printing, and the same 'normal' ampersand also occurs on Madison 50028 by the same musicians. The 50000 series was continued after 50051 as 5000 series, and the labels already present show a later printing of 50027-B with flourished ampersand, coupled with the reprint of 50027-A as 5027-A. - The reprinted labels 5001-5051 show a small space after 50, and for uniformity someone has to decide if this space should be shown in the catnr or not (now both forms occur). The new issues in the 5000 series do not have this space (from 5054 on).
han enderman 12th May 2024		78 RPM Edith Day - Irene / Alice Blue Gown (1920)	Vic 45176 - label images added. - Record can be heard at archive.
han enderman 12th May 2024		78 RPM Edith Day - Irene / Alice Blue Gown (1920)	HMV B-1115 - I have images which show 45176 A/B upside down at 12 in the runoff, plus the numbers 2-3444/45 in normal readable position (as on the labels at 7). A link has been made with Victor 45176.
han enderman 11th May 2024		78 RPM Freddy Mirfield And His Garbage Men - Good Old Wagon Blues / Miss Annabelle Lee (1945)	De F-8526 - label images added. These are Johnny Dankworth's first recordings, on clarinet with Mirfield's dixieland band 13 Sep 1944. Who is composer T.D. Hos? - There are too many typos in the track descriptions and notes of this entry. [Thanks, now fixed. Mod.]
han enderman 11th May 2024		78 RPM Billy Toffel - New Look, Mademoiselle / Après La Pluie Le Beau Temps (1949)	London FC-111 - The FC series is Canadian. The earliest issues state "Made in England", like FC-101 and this issue, but even these contain French texts. In the range FC-209-451, released 1955-59 (on discogs), the labels state "Made in Canada". Maybe there were 2 series, a FC-100 and a 200 series. A promo of FC-158 on archive is Made in England, but the reprint on discogs is Made in Canada. Archive contains many discs in the FC100 series (highest nr FC-161) by French artists (Yvonne Blanc, Simone Alma, Louis Corchia, Alix Combelle, Marcel Bianchi, Leo Chauliac). A sticker on the labels indicates that the records had belonged to Montreal radio station CKVL.
han enderman 10th May 2024		78 RPM Mantovani - Vesti La Giubba / Unknown	London(C) F-4068 - image of side D.R.15815 of Sample Record added; reverse unknown. Other titles of the same or previous Ted Heath session appeared on Decca(E) F-9624: DR-15810/12 She's A Lady / Saxophone Mambo. - Mxs DR-15808/09 by Billy Cotton were issued on De(E) F-9619, released Feb 1951. Bruyninckx says that Saxophone Mambo was recorded 1 Feb 1951 and released on London 1014 (reverse DR-15811 Take a Letter, Miss Smith). But now checking the start of the London 1000 series, it appears that London 1000 contains DR.15815 Mantovani a.h.O: Tell Me You Love Me - Waltz (Adapt. Sammy Kaye) (no composer mentioned), released Apr 1951, and thus the Canadian release is probably from 1951 too.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Gracie Fields - White Christmas / Christmas Love (1948)	DR. 12673 is the mx.nr, not the cat.nr of this record in the Canadian F-4000 series.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM The Squadronaires - Winter Wonderland / Picnic In The Snow (1948)	DR. 12519 is not the cat.nr but the mx of the A-side (B-side is ...20). The "normal" London issue of these recordings is London 305 (labels & music on archive). - An image of white label London F-4068 Sample Record (Mantovani) shows D.R.15815 at 9 and F.4068 at 3 both in bold print.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Jos. Samuels Dance Orchestra - Venetian Moon / Miami (1919)	Lyric 4203 - Rust's ADBD also seems to be wrong for Lyric 4202 under Yerkes. Images of Lyric 4202 show 2 different titles by Joseph Samuels: Left All Alone Again Blues (Kern) / Swanee (Gershwin). But I have another image of Lyric 4202-B, that reads: YERKE'S JAZZARIMBA ORCHESTRA: Swanee (Hubbell). I think it is the same recording, based on the position of the catnr in the runout.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Kalawao Hawaiian Orchestra - Aloha Oe / Ua Like No A Like (Sweet Constancy) (1918)	Lyric 4147-A added (should be moved up). On the images I have seen, the A side is corrected in black and the B-side in red.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Bennett Brothers - The Memphis Blues / Dolores (1918)	Lyric 4146-B added.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Lyric Dance Band - Calicoco / A Baby's Prayer At Twilight (1918)	Lyric 4144 - images added. Composers can be added.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Lyric Dance Band - I'm Always Chasing Rainbows / Pahjamah (1918)	Lyric 4157 - Added the missing B-side, together with its reverse, which may be slightly better as the A-side already present. Better images are on discogs, with the matrix visible under the A-side label. Also added images of a reprint with sans-serif text (this sans-serif label variant is seen on Lyric 4166-69).
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Lyric Dance Orchestra - Captain Betty / Over There (1917)	Lyric 4133 - added images of first issue, without A/B side indications (should be moved up).
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Vess Ossman's Jazz Band - Hy-Sine / Merry-Whirl (1917)	Lyric 4108 - images of original edition added (should be moved up), plus B-side of later printing (with A/B side indications). B-side title is with dash.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Lyric Dance Orchestra - Fanny's Waltz / Sphinx Waltz (1917)	Lyric 4107 - B-side image added, plus sharper image of A-side.
han enderman 9th May 2024		78 RPM Lyric Dance Orchestra - He Will Understand / In The Garden Of Romance (1917)	Lyric 4105 - label images of original issue added (should be moved up). These do not show A/B sides. The next printing has -A/B side indications. A good image of 4105-B is on discogs. In the 4100 series the last known release without side indications is 4135, but 4136-38 are unknown.
han enderman 8th May 2024		78 RPM Wonder State Harmonists - El Menio / On The Wing (1929)	Voc 5291 - A-side label image added.
han enderman 8th May 2024		78 RPM Wonder State Harmonists - Petit Jean Gallop / My Castle On The Nile (1929)	Voc 5346 - B-side label image added. This image is from the same copy as the A-side added by Mike Gann. I saved both in 2008, prob. from ebay, price $383.
han enderman 8th May 2024		78 RPM Buddy Campbell - It's A Lonesome Old Town (When You're Not Around) / Hello! Beautiful! (1931)	OK 41491 - images of West Coast labels added. Note that only the B-side has the copyright symbol (at 8). This is also the case on the 2 other copies that I have seen.
han enderman 7th May 2024		78 RPM Amy Castles - Ave Maria / Good-Bye (1917)	Lyric 6119 - B-side image added, which confirms the title shown here, plus a better image of the A-side (from another copy).
