j.monk 1st Sep 2024		78 RPM Original Washboard Beaters - Yale Rhythm / Lazy Weather (1927)	The "Original Washboard Beaters" is a pseudonym for Clarence Williams' Washboard Five.
j.monk 15th Sep 2022		78 RPM Marlborough Orchestra - Black Bottom / Sunny Swanee (1926)	Ha ! Excellent ! Thanks !
j.monk 14th Sep 2022		78 RPM Marlborough Orchestra - Black Bottom / Sunny Swanee (1926)	"Black Bottom" is played by Lou Gold & his Orchestra, rec.06/1926 and originally released as Pathé 36475 and Perfect 14656. Can't track down this other side for now....
j.monk 14th Sep 2022		78 RPM Marlborough Orchestra - Looking For A Boy / Sweet And Low Down (1926)	"Looking for a boy" is played by the Bar Harbor Society Orchestra, dir. Ben Selvin, rec.01/1926, "Sweet and low down" is played by Lou Gold and his Orchestra, rec.01/1926, Both originally released in the US as Pathé 36375 and Perfect 14556.
j.monk 13th Oct 2021		78 RPM Louis Armstrong And His Dixieland Seven - Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans / Back O'Town Blues (1949)	The M3 number gives a mid 1949 galvanoplaty date.
j.monk 13th Oct 2021		78 RPM Louis Armstrong's Dixieland Seven - Where The Blues Were Born In New Orleans (Meet The Boys) / Mahogany Hall Stomp (1947)	Added pictures of first press: gold ink and catalog number at the bottom of the label. The silver ink with cat. numb. in the middle of the label is from the 50s.
j.monk 13th May 2021		78 RPM The Charleston Serenaders - Poor Little Thing / Griserie (1927)	Columbia released records in France sometimes with the original catalog number. This one may have been released in Sweden with the same catalog number.
j.monk 14th Jan 2021		78 RPM F. Howard Jackson Orchestra - A Baby's Prayer At Twilight / Hello Central Give Me No Man's Land (1918)	Recording is April 1919 according to the notes on this LP. The blue label version here is from 1920, according to the date of the galvanoplasty appearing in the run-out (see pictures here). Also Pathé used black labels for new releases, and blue for the year later reissues.
j.monk 6th Jan 2021		78 RPM Chubby Parker - Uncle Ned / Oh-Dem Golden Slippers (1927)	This record has a peculiar flaw: the song plays way too fast !
j.monk 12th Mar 2020		78 RPM Various Artists - Daily Mail Mystery Record (1932)	Added sleeve and original leaflet, where you have a list of potential artists and how the prizes are shared.
j.monk 13th Feb 2020		78 RPM Lester McFarland - Joe Turner's Blues / The Texas Ranger (1927)	[YouTube Video]
j.monk 1st Sep 2019		78 RPM Lou Gold And His Dance Orchestra - Song Of The Vagabonds / To-Night You Belong To Me (1927)	According to Rust, the Gold side is actually Ben Selvin, re-recording the song on Dec 5, 1925, the two Gold takes being rejected.
j.monk 27th Feb 2019		78 RPM Glenn Miller - My Isle Of Golden Dreams / Alice Blue Gown (1954)	Added images of the sleeve designed for the series.
j.monk 7th Sep 2018		78 RPM Duke Ellington - Swing Music Series No. 77 & 78 (1949)	Same question as for "Show Boat shuffle": Has "Stomp, look and listen" been released in the US on 78s ? Here again, the song appear on several Eu records but I can't find it on DAHR or Honking Duck.
j.monk 7th Sep 2018		78 RPM Duke Ellington - Modern Rhythm Series No. 323 / 324 (1935)	Am I wrong or "Show Boat Shuffle" is unreleased (on 78s) in the US ? I've found the track on different EU releases, but it doesn't appear on DAHR...
j.monk 19th Aug 2018		78 RPM Frankie Trumbauer - Clarinet Marmalade / Singin' The Blues (1927)	There is an alternate pressing with different labels: same design and colors but no "auguille" appears; it is specified "Fabriqué en France" (made in France); and the credits show "Bix Beiderbecke avec Frankie Traumbauer et son orchestre" on both sides.
j.monk 12th Aug 2018		78 RPM Duke Ellington - Ko-Ko / Conga Brava (1946)	DA-4077 pressing most probably from 1946, as it has been reviewed in Hit Jazz Magazine in november 1946.
j.monk 8th Aug 2018		78 RPM Benny Goodman - At The Darktown Strutters' Ball / After You've Gone (1944)	Thanks, both posts very enlightful !
j.monk 7th Aug 2018		78 RPM Benny Goodman - At The Darktown Strutters' Ball / After You've Gone (1944)	These songs were recorded in '42 and released in '44. Have they been released before (making this very record a reissue) or did Columbia kept the songs aside all this time ?
j.monk 6th Jun 2018		78 RPM Jelly-Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers - Doctor Jazz / Memphis Shake (1927)	A year later, better looking labels added !
j.monk 28th Mar 2018		78 RPM Jack Miller - Louise / I'm Just A Vagabond Lover (1929)	Just checked back at the record itself, and against all odds, Robin is well spelled on the label !
j.monk 27th Mar 2018		78 RPM Jack Miller - Louise / I'm Just A Vagabond Lover (1929)	Wikipedia gives "Robin", mispelled on the label then.
j.monk 27th Mar 2018		78 RPM Red Nicholls Orch. - The Hurricane / Moonlight On The Ganges (1927)	Original US release for "The Hurricane": Brunswick 3550 [YouTube Video]
j.monk 27th Mar 2018		78 RPM Jack Miller - Louise / I'm Just A Vagabond Lover (1929)	Read somwhere (but can't find the info anymore, though I can't invent this) that Publix released only songs from Paramount Pictures movies, and were sold only in theaters, where the correspondant movies were screened. Only a few hundreds were pressed. That makes Publix Rds unrelated to Publix Super Markets Ltd.
j.monk 13th Mar 2018		78 RPM The Cotton Pickers - Dere's Jazz In Dem Dere Horns / Woe Is Me (1936)	Actually, a pseudonym for Billy Cotton Orch. as seen on Brian Rust "Jazz Records".
j.monk 23rd Nov 2017		78 RPM Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra - Harlem Speaks / Chicago (1933)	Thanks a lot, very enlightening!
j.monk 23rd Nov 2017		78 RPM Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra - Harlem Speaks / Chicago (1933)	Please enlighten me: The Discography Project gives 8/15/33 as recording date for both sides and GB6039 & GB6041 respectively as matrix numbers. Does the "GB" prefix point out an English recording session? If yes, doesn't it make that very Decca release the original release? Thanks a lot.
j.monk 7th Nov 2017		78 RPM Jimmy Dorsey And His Original "Dorseyland" Jazz Band - When You Wore A Tulip (And I Wore A Big Red Rose) / Clap Hands (Here Comes Charlie) (1950)	Added images of the "public" labels
j.monk 3rd Nov 2017		78 RPM Cliff Edwards (Ukelele Ike) And His Hot Combination - Side By Side / Oh! Baby Don't We Get Along (1927)	Splatter record, image added.
