KeithS SUBS 26th Sep 2023		78 RPM Norman Granz' Jazz At The Philharmonic - Volume Seven (1947)	fixbutte's comment from 1st Mar 2018 moved here: Like Clef 104 it was part of the JATP album Volume 7 as imprinted on other issues of this single, see here The album was released in 1947 during the short first life phase of the Clef label. See also my extensive Norman Granz' Jazz at the Philharmonic and Related Stuff list on another site. slholzer's comment from 28th Feb 2018 moved here: "Shorty Nadine" was a pseudonym used to disguise the presence of Nat "King" Cole. Cole was under contract to Capitol records at the time this disc was made.
KeithS SUBS 19th Sep 2023		78 RPM Anita O'Day - Rock 'N Roll Blues / Lover Come Back To Me (1952)	An early reference to Rock 'n Roll

KeithS SUBS 20th Jun 2023		78 RPM Lena Horne - Sometimes I'm Happy / Something To Live For (1948)	US release was advertised August 1948
KeithS SUBS 20th Jun 2023		78 RPM Patti Page - Would I Love You (Love You, Love You) / Sentimental Music (1951)	That was my mistake..don't know my east from my west. In early 1947 they bought into the Keynote plant which gave them west coast cover, then in 1948 they bought the defunct Majestic label's assets including a pressing plant for the east. I suppose that's what they called the Newark plant although they got rid of that in 1951. MGM also did a lot of contract pressing for them.
KeithS SUBS 19th Jun 2023		78 RPM Patti Page - Would I Love You (Love You, Love You) / Sentimental Music (1951)	The label with the "glows" behind the head didn't turn up before 1948, and during 1948 Mercury were closing their Chicago facility and moving 14 presses to St. Louis. By 1951 when this record came out they also used Hank Fines National Company in LA for East Coast clients and also their facility in Newark, NJ. Mercury first added the "Non Breakable" text in May 1949 and stopped in Jan. 1951.
KeithS SUBS 25th May 2023		78 RPM Eileen Barton - Wishin' / When You're Near Me (1952)	Reviewed Feb 1952 Eileen only became a Coral artist in October 1951
KeithS SUBS 1st Apr 2023		78 RPM Bob Crosby - Panama / Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea (1954)	Looks like Sweden..Norway and Denmark were marked differently.
KeithS SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM "Fats" Waller, His Rhythm And Orch. - I Simply Adore You / Let's Break The Good News (1938)	Just use "Fats" Waller" and it falls into place
KeithS SUBS 23rd Feb 2023		78 RPM Mr. Goon-Bones And Barney Lantz - Monkeyshines / That's The One For Me (1951)	Strange one...All ads in Billboard show the "Monkeyshines" release as cat no 5641 but with "Tiger Rag" as the B side I suppose this coupling 5632, was withdrawn almost as soon as it came out
KeithS SUBS 21st Feb 2023		78 RPM Alma Cogan - Would You / To Be Worthy Of You (1952)	Pelletier lists "Would You" first
KeithS SUBS 20th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D.35 (1940)	French markings
KeithS SUBS 19th Jan 2023		78 RPM The Flamingos - I Only Have Eyes For You / At The Prom (1959)	From Marv Goldbergs site- Also in March 1959, End released "Love Walked In," backed with "At The Prom" (both had the duet lead of Terry and Paul). Then, in April, they put out "I Only Have Eyes For You"/"Goodnight Sweetheart," both led by Nate. At a slightly later date, "I Only Have Eyes For You" was reissued with "At The Prom" on the flip.

KeithS SUBS 3rd Jan 2023		78 RPM Chick Webb - Chick Webb Memorial Album (1940)	That's exactly what is written
KeithS SUBS 28th Dec 2022		78 RPM Hank Thompson And His Brazos Valley Boys - Honky-Tonk Girl / Wake Up, Irene (1954)	Isn't it strange that Decca obviously lose the Capitol licence when EMI buy the label but the catalogue numbering doesn't change..just carries on as though nothing has happened
KeithS SUBS 26th Dec 2022		78 RPM Various Artists - Good Morning Mr. Echo / Mr. And Mississippi (1951)	Forerunner of the EP. Universal had already issued two tracks per side now Tops and Owl/Folk Music were having a go Not available to the Juke box operators because of the long running time...many sold on mail-order

KeithS SUBS 19th Aug 2022		78 RPM Little Richard - The Girl Can't Help It / Rip It Up (1957)	"Speciality" not "Specialty"
KeithS SUBS 19th Aug 2022		78 RPM Johnny Williams [John Lee Hooker] - Miss Rosie Mae / Highway Blues (1949)	A good John Lee Hooker Discography page here
KeithS SUBS 6th Aug 2022		78 RPM The Platters - The Great Pretender / I'm Just A Dancing Partner (1955)	The label with the "Glows" behind the head logo had ceased to be used a few years earlier so must have been old stock being used at this time
KeithS SUBS 4th Aug 2022		78 RPM Patti Page - I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine / I'm Gonna Paper All My Walls With Your Love Letters (1950)	[YouTube Video]
KeithS SUBS 2nd Aug 2022		78 RPM The Platters - My Prayer / Heaven On Earth (1956)	Mercury in the US began with Merco Plastic in early 1949 and marking the labels "Non Breakable" Pye in the UK who produced Mercury there started by offering two variants of the same record but that must have been well into the 1950's. I remember The Platters "Only You" and I notice that MT 107 from 1956 here on the site is marked as "Flexible"
KeithS SUBS 1st Aug 2022		78 RPM The Platters - My Prayer / Heaven On Earth (1956)	Here's that odd label again with the boxed logo and different script
KeithS SUBS 14th Jul 2022		78 RPM George Jones - Don't Stop The Music / Uh, Uh, No (1957)	Bit of an odd label here. So far, only Hong Kong had the head logo boxed, but had a completely different label style.
KeithS SUBS 5th Jul 2022		78 RPM Jancu Borcea Cărlig - Sîrba Fetiților / Doina Olteanului (1940)	[YouTube Video]
