han enderman 27th Feb 2024		78 RPM Tommy Dorsey - Swanee River / Star Dust (1941)	HMV BD-5679 - Added 5 images of 2 label variants (to be rearranged). The 2 label types already present are the first and last of 4 label types. The main difference between variants #1-3 is the "Made in England" statement at 3: #1 absent; #2 in italics; #3 in capitals. Type #4 is a later pressing of #3, with different publishers logos. Note also the different rim legends. Tax codes are: #1 TT; #2a ST; #2b DT; #3 DT; #4 DT. This #2b copy (DT) has a #3 reverse label.
han enderman 26th Feb 2024		78 RPM Brownie McGhee And His Quintet - Baseball Boogie / Dissatisfied Woman (1948)	Alert 413 - label images added. Of side A 2 variants are known, with different credit and difference in the composer's name. Also the description on the uncommon variant (which I have included as #1) is "Vocal Blues". I assumed that variant #1, with composer McGhee, was earlier than #2 with Brownie McGhee, but afterwards am not sure of that as Alert 425 also only shows McGhee.
han enderman 26th Feb 2024		78 RPM Brownie McGhee - Mean Ole Frisco / Sportin Life Blues (1946)	Alert 401 - label images added, from archive where the music can be heard. In the Alert 400 series, this is the last release with the 2 towers logo.
han enderman 26th Feb 2024		78 RPM Brownie McGhee - Key To The Highway / Rum Cola Papa (1946)	Alert 400 - later label type added (blue label with different logo); from archive.
han enderman 26th Feb 2024		78 RPM Lillian Glinn - All Alone And Blue / Come Home Daddy (1928)	Co 14300-D - Mike Gann has added the original labels. The last Jan13/May23 label in the 14000-D series is 14249-D (14248-D is Martha Copeland, Nobody Rocks Me, but its A-side has possibly the Jan/RE label on all copies). 14250-D has Jan13/RE, and is Bessie's Mean Old Bed Bug. So the exact month of the change is known for this series, but might be slightly different in the main popular series. The West Coast still used up the remaining old label stock. 14351-D/52-D (Sam Morgan/M.Copeland) have Jan/May on the West Coast labels; 14353-D Ethel Waters has Jan/RE.
han enderman 26th Feb 2024		78 RPM Ray Haney With The Rio Grande Playboys - My Son, My Son / That Little Boy Of Mine (1954)	MGM 8025 - I think it is from India, which has an 8000 series and same rim legend. and by error the country has been omitted (all MGMs mention the country).
han enderman 24th Feb 2024		78 RPM Titta Ruffo - Zaza, Piccola Zingara / Buono Zaza.. (Aria Di Cascart) (1923)	VdP DA-355 - images added of 2 label variants . The 2nd type has the well-known 1943 legend, and therefore I assumed that the variant without this date is earlier. Before the label name became "La Voce Del Padrone", it was Disco Gramophone, which released the first version of the Italian HMV disc. It has DA-355 in parentheses, followed by the original Gramophone/HMV number of the 1-sided disc (with 7- prefix). For documentary/research purposes, I have added its B label here. And also an early HMV label of the A-side, 7-52031 (1-sided disc), mentioning THE GRAMOPHONE CO below the nipper logo, and a German release (Gramophone Concert). The DA coupling could be released everywhere with this number, as shown by a Czech label. These additions can be hidden, if necessary. - Recording date is Nov 1912 (DAHR).
han enderman 24th Feb 2024		78 RPM Clara Smith And Her Jazz Band - When My Sugar Walks Down The Street / Alley Rat Blues (1925)	Co 14104-D - images of both labels added, plus the list of Clara Smith records in the Columbia 1927 catalog (which can be consulted and downloaded on archive). - The present A/B tracks have to be reversed. Mx order 141046/47, alphabetical order, and - most important - sequence of titles in the Columbia 1927 catalog make Alley Rat Blues the A-side. Pages 204-209 in the catalog are the Race section, with the artists in order of their importance for Columbia (Bessie first), and the records in chronologically descending order.
han enderman 24th Feb 2024		78 RPM Cliff Carlisle - I'm Glad I'm A Hobo / Gamblin' Dan (1934)	Cq 8268 - added A-side variant, with description in different, serifed font.
han enderman 23rd Feb 2024		78 RPM Charles Trenet - Je Chante / Fleur Bleue (1937)	Co(F) DF-2270 - I do not think that the added labels were made in England for the French market. There are many in this website, shown as Columbia(UK) - just search for "columbia df uk". I assume they are a selection of popular French recordings (Baker, Sablon, Trenet, Rossi), made for interested UK buyers and retaining the original French texts. This also explains why the very popular Josephine Baker has almost no issues in the normal UK series.
han enderman 23rd Feb 2024		78 RPM Tino Rossi - Noël En Mer / Venise Et Bretagne (1934)	Co DF-1645 - Country is France (on label), not UK.
han enderman 22nd Feb 2024		78 RPM Lena Wilson And Nubian Five - Memphis Tennesee / He Used To Be Your Man But He's My Man Now (1923)	P 020910 - B-side image added, plus better image of A-side (from archive). Title and composer details of B should be added.
han enderman 22nd Feb 2024		78 RPM Sister Harris With Nubian Five - Sugar Blues / The Cootie Crawl (1923)	PA 020909 - label images added.
han enderman 18th Feb 2024		78 RPM Gene Krupa - Super Swing Music No.119 & 120 (1939)	Co DB-5059 - 3 label images added of the 2nd Columbia label type (original type has "nor" in the patent legend).
han enderman 18th Feb 2024		78 RPM Gene Krupa - Super Swing Music No. 157 & 158 (1939)	Co DB-5078 - label images added of the 2nd edition (cat.nr serifed; "or" in legend below label name). Discogs shows a copy coupling a 1st ed. label of No.158 ("nor" in legend) with a 2nd ed. label of No. 157.
han enderman 18th Feb 2024		78 RPM Hawaiian Quintette - Aloha Oe (Farewell To Thee) / Kuu Home (Native Plantation Song) (1919)	Vic 18577 - Added A-side of label type (#2) intermediate between those already present: short rim legend and no text left of hole.
han enderman 18th Feb 2024		78 RPM Svend Asmussen - Miss Annabel Lee / Japanese Sandman (1945)	Od D-5194 - label images added; from a later pressing.
han enderman 18th Feb 2024		78 RPM Jularbo Junior - Jazz Me Blues / Somebody Stole My Girl (1945)	Od D-5220 - 5 images added, of 4 label types. Type #1 is the earliest; unusual is the mx prefix STO in caps. Type #3 omits "Svensk" below Odeon (maybe an error, or te earliest printing of this type?); #4 has titles in serifed font, as occurs on much later labels (D-5360, 5400 for ex.).
han enderman 18th Feb 2024		78 RPM Einar Ekberg - Jag Är Främling / Jag Mig Gömmer Uti Klippan (1932)	Hemmets Härold XS-11 - The XS series was partly or completely repressed as X series. Or does the X series have new recordings (Mxs with Sto prefix on label) of the old songs? If X-11 is the same as this one, it should be linked. Or the repressing can be added here.
han enderman 18th Feb 2024		78 RPM Shannon Quartet - The Sidewalks Of New York / Maggie Murphy's Home (1926)	Vic 20128 - A-side of later label type added, plus the original West Coast labels.
han enderman 17th Feb 2024		78 RPM The German Opera Orchestra - Serenade For String Orchestra Op. 48 (1932)	De PO-5096 - In this way, every record is a complete part of the music, which can be more pleasant if you break one.
han enderman 17th Feb 2024		78 RPM Sweet Violet Boys - Boy, Take Your Time / I Love My Fruit (1939)	Voc 05162 - Label images are from the West Coast pressing. The eastern version is on discogs.
han enderman 17th Feb 2024		78 RPM Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys - Dreamy Eyes Waltz / My Window Faces The South (1939)	Voc 05161 - added images of the West Coast pressing
han enderman 12th Feb 2024		78 RPM Eddie Chamblee - La! La! La! Lady / Come On In	Down Beat(Jm) 102 - This is a repressing of linked issue United 181 (same mxs & titles), but record nr U147 on 102-A is an error (maybe the label designer was remembering mx 1457). United U-147 is by Tab Smith, mxs 1080/1121.
han enderman 12th Feb 2024		78 RPM The Treniers - Who Put The "Ungh" In The Mambo / Oh! Oh! (1955)	OK 7050 - added the missing images (from archive, where the music can be heard). Everything should be rearranged, and the track B details changed. The images with the Columbia logos (at 6 and 10) are the last (3rd) edition, and "Get Out" is the new title of "Oh" (as confirmed by Billboard). Thus the archive label images are from the 2nd pressing, but the A-side label had not been changed.{mod-done}
han enderman 10th Feb 2024		78 RPM The Guitars Two - Wang Wang Blues / Dig-A-Doo (1955)	Media 1006 - label images added.
han enderman 10th Feb 2024		78 RPM The Esquire Boys - Bye Bye Blues / Play Me Boogie (1955)	Media 1004 - B-side image added. Both sides can be seen on discogs.
han enderman 10th Feb 2024		78 RPM Eddy Arnold - There's No Wings On My Angel / Little Angel With The Dirty Face (1950)	HMV MH-121 - image of A-side added (tax code N); B still lacking.
han enderman 9th Feb 2024		78 RPM Glenn Miller - Blue Orchids / A Cabana In Havana (1949)	HMV MH-104 - images added.
han enderman 9th Feb 2024		78 RPM Glenn Miller - When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano / Ma-Ma-Maria (Fee-dle, Ee-dle, Fee-dle, Ee-dle-la) (Get A Load Of This) (1949)	HMV MH-99 - images added, plus 2 variants of A with different logos.
