han enderman 11th Aug 2024		78 RPM Charlie Walker - The Chocolate Song / Hurry Back Home (1955)	De 29416 - track order should be reversed. A-side of different pressing added (though I erroneously named it B too).
han enderman 11th Aug 2024		78 RPM Happy Otto - Smiles / Glad Rag Doll (1955)	De 29403 - B-side of orig. pressing added (A-side is on discogs). This is among the very last issues with a "Personality Series" label.
han enderman 11th Aug 2024		78 RPM Happy Otto - Smiles / Glad Rag Doll (1955)	Decca 29403 by Happy Otto is the original issue of Decca 29403 by Crazy Otto. It was released in the week of 15 Jan 1955 (Billboard 22 Jan 1955, p.13 & 16), and the credit was changed on later pressings as explained by Crazy Otto himself (= Fritz Schulz-Reichel) in the Decca ad of Billboard 29 Jan 1955, p.42 (see link). So an acceptable date for the revised edition is late Jan or (preferably?) Feb 1955. See also the link to the 45rpm release (with promo labels). The best way would be to have these editions in a single entry.
han enderman 10th Aug 2024		78 RPM Paul Whiteman And His Concert Orchestra - Rhapsody In Blue / Rhapsody In Blue (Contd.) (1932)	Br(E) 0140 - 2 images added of 2 later label variants: #2A (DT) and #3B (CT). Type #2 omits the Fabr. Angleterre legend; #3 is red label. A bad image of #2 with TT tax code is on discogs.
han enderman 10th Aug 2024		78 RPM Little Esther - Just Can't Get Free / Cupid's Boogie (1950)	Savoy 750 - label variants added (should be rearranged). Types #1A & #2AB were present; #1B, #3AB & #4AB added. On the 1st edition (with Bluenotes on #1A) the Otis Orch. also gets credit in caps in large print. The 2nd ed. has the same font for titles & Esther's name. The 3rd ed. uses a different, round font for the title. Variant #4 has the catnr at 3. On #3B, Mel Walker's name is also in upper case, and the title is changed into Cupid Boogie. Therefore it is remarkable that on #4 we see Otis in caps again, Mel Walker in small print again, and the original title Cupid's Boogie.
han enderman 9th Aug 2024		78 RPM Will Glahé - Hofkonzert Im Hinterhaus / Kulleraugen (1937)	The "Notes" say "mit seinem" but labels give "und sein".
han enderman 9th Aug 2024		78 RPM Various Artists - Decca Presents An Album Of Chicago Jazz (1940)	Decca Album 121 - I have seen 5 label types: #1-3 red block labels; #4-5 black script labels. The images already present, illustrating the 12 sides A-L, are the common type #1, except G-H (18043), that are #3. I have added one example of label types #2-#5 each. Then I found a better image of type #2 (18045-B), so #2 18041-B can best be hidden here.
han enderman 8th Aug 2024		78 RPM Will Glahé - Hofkonzert Im Hinterhaus / Kulleraugen (1937)	VsM(B) EG-3906 - I think I have solved the problem. There is no French Gr/VsM EG series, but these French looking records are Belgian. This agrees with several Belgian VsM EG records on discogs. It also explains why the country is not mentioned. I found images of just this record on archive. - Label and/or country should be changed again here and elsewhere. Also the credit in the "Notes" has to be adapted.
han enderman 7th Aug 2024		78 RPM Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders - Honeybunch (Mi Encantito) / I Found A Round-A-Bout Way To Heaven (Ya Encontré Cómo Ir Al Cielo) (1926)	Vic 20047 - Images added of East & West Coast labels. This is the last issue of a small group, 20044-47, with "Orthophonic" at 9; all released on 18 Jun 1926. Evidently this "variant" was an error, as the addition is absent on Victor batwings 20048-95, and then it is introduced on the new scroll labels (East Coast 20096-) as "Orthophonic Recording". On the West Coast the scroll label starts with 20102, and there the very last batwings (-20101) have "Orthophonic Recording" added.
han enderman 6th Aug 2024		78 RPM Keaumoko A. Louis - When You Come Back / Good-Bye Honolulu (1926)	Vic 20097 - Expected release date is 6 Aug 1926 (20094-96) or 13 Aug 1926 (20098-20101). There were no batwings released after 13 Aug. The record is not listed in TMW (Jul-Sep 1926) and this may indicate that it was mainly for West Coast distribution.
han enderman 6th Aug 2024		78 RPM George Olsen And His Music - Lucky Day / Black Bottom (1926)	Vic 20101 - This West Coast batwing label is the highest ("last") batwing release number in this black label series, and has "Orthophonic Recording" at 9. The common release has a scroll label, as has the West Coast reprint. The 5 known West Coast issues with this Orthophonic batwing label were released on 6 Aug 1926 (20094-95) and 13 Aug 1926 (20099-20101). The first West Coast scroll issues were released 20 Aug (20105-07) and 27 Aug (20102-04). Vic 20086-87 were also released 27 Aug (as given in TMW) and both are known only with scroll labels on West & East Coast pressings.
han enderman 6th Aug 2024		78 RPM George Olsen And His Music - Katinka / Hard-To-Get Gertie (1926)	Vic 20100 - Images added of the 1st West Coast pressing (batwing) and the 1st East Coast pressing (scroll). The scroll West Coast pressing (present) is thus a repressing (to be moved down).
han enderman 6th Aug 2024		78 RPM Johnny Hamp's Kentucky Serenaders - Roses Remind Me Of You / Just A Little Dance (1926)	Vic 20099 - West Coast batwing labels added. These very last batwings (20099-20101 West Coast) have "Orthophonic Recording" at 9, as introduced on East Coast scroll label 20096.
han enderman 6th Aug 2024		78 RPM Keaumoko A. Louis - When You Come Back / Good-Bye Honolulu (1926)	Vic 20097 - This Hawaiian record has a very late West Coast batwing label. Was it also pressed on the East Coast?
han enderman 6th Aug 2024		78 RPM Aileen Stanley - Billy Murray (1926)	Vic 20096 - image of West Coast A-side added (as East Coast label, with Oakland "o" at 12).
han enderman 6th Aug 2024		78 RPM Ted Weems - Love Bound / Roses (1926)	Vic 20033 - last normal batwings are 20095 (East Coast) and 20097 (West Coast). On the East Coast followed by scroll (introducing "Orthophonic Recording" at 9), but on the West Coast followed by a few batwings with "Orthophonic Recording" at 9 (20094-95, 20099-20101). The change is Aug 1926.
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		78 RPM Arthur Collins - The Preacher And The Bear / Bake Dat Chicken Pie (1917)	Co A-2290 - having tried to convince everyone that the GZ label was the orig. issue (see below), a last search for additional printing codes revealed the existence of the real original issue without codes on archive. Images added, and these have a similar label type as the GZ release, with long 2-line bottom legend. But it is really different, as it is the earlier "Note The Notes" (at 12) label ! - So we need details of A-2291-92 to know when the printing codes started with FZ. Both A-2289/2290 without printing codes are Note the Notes labels, so the printing codes were introduced with the Grafonola label type.
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		78 RPM Arthur Collins - The Preacher And The Bear / Bake Dat Chicken Pie (1917)	Co A-2290 - copy with AX-KY printing codes added. Note the different label type.
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		78 RPM Arthur Collins - The Preacher And The Bear / Bake Dat Chicken Pie (1917)	Co A-2290 - Congratulations; GZ (Jul 1917) is very early here. The printing codes start (on available images) with FZ on A-2293 by Jim Doherty, which was possibly never reprinted, and also A-2294-95 are known. A-2296 by Al Jolson is fairly common (and I have seen it only with FZ). But A-2297 is the ODJB, of which thus the FZ label is on the original release (and there follow many more). - Z = year, G = month. The GZ label also is an earlier label type than the other copies here. A-2289 is on discogs without printing code, and thus the FZ code was introduced in the range A-2290-2293. It is unlikely that A-2290 was released without code or with FZ and that one or 2 months later a GZ reprint was needed, so GZ is the orig. issue and this fits the Aug 1917 release date (as is also said on discogs).
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		78 RPM Jimmie Lunceford - Flamingo / Siesta At The Fiesta (1941)	I know nothing of Decca pressing plants, but I have images of Decca 3913 (Nat Brandwynne) that both have a small "o" in the runout opposite the mx.nr. In this case, mx at 2 (actually the bottom of the stamper) and "o" at 8. Also on a later pressing of 3905-A. And on 2 copies of 3893. Isn't this too frequent for a West Coast pressing ?
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		78 RPM The Varsity Seven - How Long, How Long Blues / Pom Pom (1940)	Varsity 8173 - Personnel (on label) includes Billy Carton-tp (= Carter) & Carleton Harkins (= Hawkins), as on the next release from this session (8179), but composer of Pom Pom is Benny Carter. Joe Turner sings on 2 titles from this session.
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		78 RPM The Varsity Seven - It's Tight Like That / Easy Rider (1940)	Varsity 8147 - label images added. As on the other release from this 14 Dec 1939 session (8135), Hawkins is mentioned, but Carter plays under pseudonym Billy Carton. - Composer (Thomas) Dorsey misspelled Dorsay on label (to be corrected in track details).
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		78 RPM The Varsity Seven - Scratch My Back / Save It Pretty Mama (1940)	Varsity 8135 - on this 1st release by the Varsity Seven, Hawkins does not have a pseudonym, but Benny Carter has, as on the 3 later issues. - What is the relation of (composer) Leonard Feather to this session?
han enderman 30th Jul 2024		78 RPM Joie Lichter's Strand Symphonists - After I Said I'm Sorry / Slippery Elm (1926)	Puritan 11439 - Label images added (of which the B-side shows the full border).
han enderman 30th Jul 2024		78 RPM Harold Stern - Love Me To-Night / Isn't It Romantic? (1932)	Co 2718-D - see DAHR for information on takes and dates (incomplete in Rust's ADBD). Takes of a 22-9-1932 session remained unissued, but from the 29 Sep 1932 remake session Romantic -3/-4 and Love -4/-5 were issued on 2718-D. It would be interesting to know how these takes are connected to the label types. - On the available images, the black label release (A/B) has takes 4/5.
han enderman 29th Jul 2024		78 RPM Harold Stern - Love Me To-Night / Isn't It Romantic? (1932)	Co 2718-D - label images added of orig. black labels and of royal blue repressing. This is the last known black label issue in this general -D series; the first known blue label release is 2721-D by Ted Lewis.
han enderman 29th Jul 2024		78 RPM The Savoy Hotel Orpheans - The Cat And The Fiddle Gems Part 1 / The Cat And The Fiddle Gems Part 2 (1932)	Co 2698-D - images of orig. black labels added. - Only a few issues later the black labels were replaced by the blue labels on royal blue shellac, of which 2721-D by Ted Lewis is the first new issue known to me.
han enderman 28th Jul 2024		78 RPM Tony Harris - Chicken, Baby, Chicken / I'll Forever Love You (1957)	Ebb 104 - Catnr should be 104 only (uniform with other Ebb entries).
han enderman 28th Jul 2024		78 RPM Ted Taylor - If I Don't See You Again / Keep Walking On (1958)	Ebb 132 - label images added. The X-suffix indicates the A-side.
han enderman 28th Jul 2024		78 RPM Hollywood Flames - Frankenstein's Den / Strollin' On The Beach (1958)	Ebb 144 - On the 45rpm, Frankenstein's Den is 144-X and thus the A-side. This is confirmed by 107X, which is Part 1.
