Hawkmarty SUBS 12th Sep 2024		78 RPM George Channing - #3 / #1 (1955)	The B side has a date on the label that may be the date of recording but not necessarily the date the acetate was cut.
Hawkmarty SUBS 14th Jun 2024		78 RPM Mr. Billy Williams - I Don't Want A Girl For Sunday (1908)	Now I'm wondering how American discs ended up in what was darkest Lancashire. That would need some deep detective work.
Hawkmarty SUBS 14th Jun 2024		78 RPM Mr. Billy Williams - I Don't Want A Girl For Sunday (1908)	Thanks guys. I must have picked up two copies of this to photo without realising; there were differences in the damage to the other label so I knew it was not the same one twice. Sorry about the Imperials, 78s are a closed book to me. Just happy to fill in any gaps.
Hawkmarty SUBS 13th Jun 2024		78 RPM Mr. Billy Williams - I Don't Want A Girl For Sunday (1908)	I'll need help with the dates too :-)
Hawkmarty SUBS 13th Jun 2024		78 RPM Mr. Billy Williams - I Don't Want A Girl For Sunday (1908)	Today I was in an attic above an electrical supply shop full of mouldering records. The 78s were in a cellar for decades and in terrible condition. I had a quick rummage and took phone images of ones that were definitely not on the site. Apologies for some ropiness. This one, when I was about to process the other side, had the same info on both sides. I don't know if it is a mis-labelling or it does have the same track both sides.
Hawkmarty SUBS 9th Aug 2021		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Lancashire Speaks (1957)	Just amazing. Thanks xiphophilos.
Hawkmarty SUBS 7th Aug 2021		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Lancashire Speaks (1957)	I wish I had the facility to play 78s when I find something like this.
Hawkmarty SUBS 2nd Aug 2020		78 RPM [no artist listed] - ? / ?	Sorry about the lack of information with this submission. I have no facility to play 78s. There is a glint of metal in the centre hole which suggests an acetate style disc.
Hawkmarty SUBS 2nd Aug 2020		78 RPM Mr. or Master Cook - We'll Meet Again (1940)	Added alternative A side and two B sides plus an envelope variation. The discs are a flexible celluloid material like film stock with a shiny, brown tint. I do not have the facility to play any 78s so though the two discs I was given are highly unlikely to play the track listed here, I thought this was the best place for the images.
Hawkmarty SUBS 13th May 2014		78 RPM The Exotic Sounds Of Martin Denny - Quiet Village / Llama Serenade (Peruvian Llama Song) (1959)	The B side looks like something from Monty Python. :-)
