HBRALLAN 11th Apr 2022		78 RPM Terry Gaynes - The Cry Of The Wild Goose / I Want A Song (1951)	Billboard may list this release as by Terry Gilkyson, however, the label credits the record to Terry Gaynes (who in all probability is Terry Gilkyson). Scans are from photocopies of both sides of the record..
HBRALLAN 10th Apr 2022		78 RPM Jack Pitts And His Crystal Mountaineers - Someone Is Waiting (1947)	"Talkin' Blues" was originally issued under the title "Homebrew, Chitlin And Corn Whiskey" with the label giving the description "Hillbilly Blues". It was also the A side of the original release.

HBRALLAN 12th Dec 2021		78 RPM Teddy Wilburn - Court Of Justice / How Would You Like To Call Me Sweetheart? (1951)	Teddy Wilburn’s GOTHAM recordings were made in one of the studio’s at Radio Station KWKH, Shreveport, Louisiana. The musicians on the session were Theodore “Teddy” Wilburn, Lester Lloyd Wilburn, Leslie Floyd Wilburn, Ralph Mayo, Floyd Kramer (sic), Jimmie Day (sic), and Mal Irby. The musicians were paid the Union Rate for the session, $41.25 per person, whilst Theodore “Teddy” Wilburn. as leader, received $84.00. Hire of the studio for the session was $40.00. That session produced four songs, “Court Of Justice”, and “How Would You Like To Call Me Sweetheart” were issued back to back on GOTHAM 413. The remaining two titles, Teddy Wilburn’s self penned “It Can’t Be Run On A Sharing Basis”, and “Daddy Blues”, written by Webb Pierce and Tillman Franks, were not issued. The princely sum of three cents per record was paid in royalties to Teddy Wilburn. The above information was taken from the Gotham files, obtained, copied, and shared, by Bruce Bastin.
HBRALLAN 10th Dec 2021		78 RPM Homer Zeke Clemons - Operation Blues #2 / Feeling Low, Feeling Blue (1950)	"Just My Imagination" was issued on IMPERIAL 8080 erroneously titled as "Feeling Low, Feeling Blue". "Feeling Low, Feeling Blue" was released on IMPERIAL 8088.
HBRALLAN 10th Dec 2021		78 RPM Danny Dedmon And The Rhythm Ramblers - You Can't Hen Peck Me / The Blues Keep On Hangin' On (1949)	Scans of Promo / Pre Release labels added
HBRALLAN 18th Nov 2021		78 RPM Texas Benny Doss And The Sandy Creek Gang - Round And Round We Go / I Don't Want Your Kind Of Love	The pianist on both sides of Texas Benny Doss’ ROYALTY disc is identified by Benny in the recordings as one Ted Cox. Mr Cox surfaces a year or so later as the pianist with Buster Doss’ Arkansas Playboys. It transpires that Marvin Earl “Buster” Doss was Benny Doss’ younger brother, and it was Benny who dubbed his sibling “Buster”. Buster Doss is documented as saying that he made his first recordings for the ROYALTY label in the mid/late forties; which begs the question, does the Benny Doss record represent Buster’s recording debut, as a member of the Sandy Creek Gang, or is there another as yet undocumented ROYALTY release which is credited Buster Doss?
HBRALLAN 31st Oct 2021		78 RPM Cowboy Phil And The Golden West Girls - Trailing / Where The Sunset Turns The Silver Sands To Gold	Promotional Postcard added of Cowboy Phil and The Golden West Girls, when the ensemble were resident at Radio Station WHJB in the 1940's. Note Abby (Abbie) Neal Fourth from left.
HBRALLAN 23rd Oct 2021		78 RPM Johnny Duschel And His Tiple - The Tiple Rag / Am I To Blame (1950)	Label scans which emphasize Duke Stark's Montana Wranglers, added

HBRALLAN 20th Oct 2021		78 RPM Brad King And His Dude Ranch Gang - Tag Along / You Ain't Got My Number Anymore (1949)	BB 19 Nov 1949 p.104 [C&W Record Reviews]
HBRALLAN 20th Oct 2021		78 RPM Ole Rasmussen And His Nebraska Cornhuskers - Chill In My Heart / Flying Home (1949)	BB 19 Nov 1949 p.32 [Advance Folk Record Releases] BB 19 Nov 1949 p.104 [C&W Record Reviews]
HBRALLAN 20th Oct 2021		78 RPM Jean Davidson - Fortworth Boogie / Down Hearted Me (1949)	Both Jean Davidson’s Crystal releases were listed in Billboard’s “Advance Rhythm & Blues Record Releases”
HBRALLAN 20th Oct 2021		78 RPM Saddle Dusters - Prunella / Choo Choo Blues (1948)	Promotional photograph of The Saddle Dusters added. The SADDLE DUSTERS were Dusty Ellison, Hil Duffy, and Buddy Woody. The MELODY MIXERS, a popular music outfit (who had at least four releases on Crystal - 166, 169, 170, and 172) comprised of Hil Duffy, Buddy Woody, and one Ralph Ellison (the later I assume worked under the nom de plume Dusty Ellison when recording as The Saddle Dusters). So I guess this is a chicken or egg question, did The Saddle Dusters morph in The Melody Mixers or visa versa?
HBRALLAN 5th Jul 2021		78 RPM Topeka Hartte And The Rancheros - Can't Win For Losin' / Let Me By (1946)	Scan of Article on Topeka Hartte from Bill Boyd Ranch House News - Vol 4 / # 6 - June 1947.added.
