Juke Jules SUBS 7th Jan 2013		78 RPM Gilbert Bécaud - Je Veux Te Dire Adieu / Que Toi (1955)	Hi guys, sorry but the moderators do not have the original images; admin could probably dig them out from the archives but it would be easiest if LS could upload his images again
Juke Jules SUBS 4th Jan 2013		78 RPM Bessie Smith - Muddy Water (A Mississippi Moan) / Money Blues (1938)	Smith's original (USA) Columbia recording of Money Blues 14137-D was recorded May 4th 1926 (issued in 1927 b/w Hard Driving Papa) Her Muddy Water was recorded 2nd Mar. 1927 on 14197-D c/w After You've Gone See Bessie Smith Discography I don't know if this Parlophone issue was the same recording as either of these, but it has a dfifferent coupling
Juke Jules SUBS 3rd Jan 2013		78 RPM L. Macy - To Julia / Eliza Sings	Lovely story, Billy. Does the singing gene persist in the family to this day?
Juke Jules SUBS 3rd Jan 2013		78 RPM [no artist listed] - I've Never Seen A Straight Banana / Marche Aux Flambeaux	Indeed they were, Terence: http://www.woolworthsmuseum.co.uk/1920s-LittleMarvel.html Some of the links there are interesting
Juke Jules SUBS 23rd Dec 2012		78 RPM Lil Green - Why Don't You Do Right? / Love Me (1941)	Based on a song by Kansas Joe McCoy (Harlem Ham) "Weed Smoker's Dream" which he had recorded with brother Charlie as the Harlem Hamfats in 1936, Why Don't You Do Right? subsequently became an enduring hit when recorded by Benny Goodman and his Orchestra with Peggy Lee in 1942 [YouTube Video] Weed Smoker's Dream on YouTube, includes band credits
Juke Jules SUBS 23rd Dec 2012		78 RPM The Johnny Otis Show - Ma (He's Makin' Eyes At Me) / Romance In The Dark (1957)	Marie Adams' atmospheric performance of In The Dark was nevertheless a restrained version compared to Lil Green's original sensual vision of Romance In The Dark on B-8524 [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 23rd Dec 2012		78 RPM Lil Green - Romance In The Dark / What Have I Done (1940)	[YouTube Video] "Romance In The Dark" was re-released on RCA 20-2161 in 1947. [YouTube Video]

Juke Jules SUBS 22nd Dec 2012		78 RPM Eddie Smith And The Super Chiefs - Preacher And The Bear / Snow Dear (1953)	Jolly honky-tonk piano plus banjo instrumental [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 20th Dec 2012		78 RPM The Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - The Dream Of Gerontius (Op.38) Prelude (1945)	Thanks, I was quoting from a re-issue CD Surfing Wikipedia, we find that The British Council first appeared in 1936, but more usefully, under Sargent we find: "A recording regularly chosen over all others in comparative surveys is the first of Sargent's two versions of Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius with Heddle Nash as tenor and the familiar Sargent pairing of the Huddersfield Choral Society and the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, recorded in 1945" I think that in a great many cases the date most commonly associated with pre-war 78s is the recording date, so I will add 1945 for the date of this even if the date of release is not known, as it may help to order the label catalogue no's
Juke Jules SUBS 18th Dec 2012		78 RPM The Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra - The Dream Of Gerontius (Op.38) Prelude (1945)	Presumably, the 1945 recording by Sargent and the LPO: Heddle Nash, Gladys Ripley, Dennis Noble, Norman Walker, and The Huddersfield Ch. Soc.
Juke Jules SUBS 18th Dec 2012		78 RPM Leopold Stokowski And The Philadelphia Orchestra - The Fire-Bird Suite (L'Oiseau De Feu) (1937)	The conclusion of The Fire-Bird Suite was shortened to fit on the one side. The Shostakovich Prelude was newly composed at the time of recording
Juke Jules SUBS 17th Dec 2012		78 RPM Harry Bidgood - Moonbeam ! Kiss Her For Me / In A Little Spanish Town (1927)	Bidgood worked under many names during his career; biography added to show these
Juke Jules SUBS 17th Dec 2012		78 RPM Billy Cotton - Sweet Violets / Riley's Daughter (1951)	This is a good example of the 'uncredited band' as discussed in this forum thread

"L'ennui naquit un jour de l'uniformité". Seulment entre Les Amis trop d'accord ;-) Ssh - upload your images again and we'll 'hide' them! - or see what others have said in another forum
Juke Jules SUBS 11th Dec 2012		78 RPM The Johnny Otis Show - Ma (He's Makin' Eyes At Me) / Romance In The Dark (1957)	[YouTube Video] "Ma He’s Making Eyes at Me" was sung by Al Jolson in a 1920 Broadway show "The Midnight Rounders". The definitive lyrics may have been found on the original printed music sheet from 1921, but many recordings since then have seen departures from the original with everyone adding their own variations The earliest recorded version may have been by Eddie Cantor in 1921 (YT) while a piano roll recording (YT) (from the same year ?) has different lyrics, as does another early recording which I cannot date, titled simply "Ma", by Edward Fielding (YT) with the Fleming Novelty Orchestra on Royal 10101

Juke Jules SUBS 6th Dec 2012		78 RPM Alessandro Valente - Nessun Dorma ! (Nobody Shall Sleep) / Non Piangere, Liù ! (Weep Not, Liù !) (1927)	Released within a year of publication of Turandot Proclaimed retrospectively by two respected critics to have been 'the finest' recording of this popular classic; meanwhile collector of Nessun Dorma recordings, Jan Neckers, opines that: "Valente was a predecessor of Harry Secombe and though Italian had a music-hall career in Britain and it shows. There is indeed some raw power and a good top note but it is clear that performing four times a day during many years had taken its toll and the voice is clearly worn" http://www.jussibjorlingsociety.org/bestnessundorma.html
