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]
KeithS SUBS 20th Jun 2022		78 RPM Frankie Laine - On The Sunny Side Of The Street / Blue Turning Grey Over You (1947)	Not strictly true that an "A" prefix meant only that it was part of an album. 1027 exists with album markings too. More likely that Mercury decided to drop the prefix thus complicating the catalogue numbering on later pressings
KeithS SUBS 18th Jun 2022		78 RPM William Linds Kabaretorkester - Roses Of Picardy / L'amour (1946)	Just looked through some old catalogues I found in a loppis and there is a Musica/Telefunken dated 1947
KeithS SUBS 17th Jun 2022		78 RPM George Hamilton IV - A Rose And A Candy Bar / If You Don't Know (1957)	From BBC's Green Book....their rules and codes of conduct from 1939 Advertising Advertising of any sort is not normally allowed and gratuitous publicity for any commercial undertaking or product may not be given. Occasionally, however, such references may be unavoidable where, for instance, a commercial firm is sponsoring a public event, e.g. the Star Dancing Championships, the Melody Maker Dance Band Contest. In such cases mention of the sponsoring body must not go beyond the proper courtesy and essential programme interest. Otherwise mention of all firms, trade and proprietary names is barred. N.B. The following trade names are now regarded as generic terms:- Aspirin Bakelite Cellophane Gramophone Luminal Nylon Photostat Pianola Spam Tabloid Thermos Vaseline Zip The inclusion of any of these is therefore permitted in scripts but derogatory references to them must be avoided as constituting a form of 'trade slander'. Probably "Vaseline" was banned under other sections of the book
KeithS SUBS 13th Jun 2022		78 RPM William Linds Kabaretorkester - Roses Of Picardy / L'amour (1946)	A guess as to why some bear the Telefunken logo and some don't....Sweden was obtaining Telefunken product after the war but only officially began Telefunken Försäljnings AB in 1948 which was a cooperation between Sweden. Norway, Denmark and Finland So then they were distributors for Telefunken, Telestar, Capitol, Supraphon, Musica, Warner Bros, Swedish Society Discofil.
KeithS SUBS 11th Jun 2022		78 RPM Børge Friis - Csárdásfurstinnan (Potpourri) Del 1 / Csárdásfurstinnan (Potpourri) Del 2 (1946)	Svänga-Benga
KeithS SUBS 11th Jun 2022		78 RPM Børge Friis - Csárdásfurstinnan (Potpourri) Del 1 / Csárdásfurstinnan (Potpourri) Del 2 (1946)	If I read The Musica Discography correctly From Berra's 78 sides............

KeithS SUBS 11th Apr 2022		78 RPM Terry Gaynes - The Cry Of The Wild Goose / I Want A Song (1951)	Gilkyson signed a short time contract with Decca in summer 1949 and left in late 1951. Decca were still releasing his records in October 1951. Probably some agreement made till his contract came to completion
KeithS SUBS 31st Mar 2022		78 RPM Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys - San Antonio Rose / I'll Follow Wherever You Go (1955)	Two A sides here Ron
KeithS SUBS 14th Mar 2022		78 RPM June Christy - Kicks / Pete Kelly's Blues (1955)	Come on Dave take another look at this..still doesn't look right
KeithS SUBS 14th Mar 2022		78 RPM Doris Day - It's The Sentimental Thing To Do / I've Never Been In Love Before (1953)	NCB suggests "Scandinavian" copyright will be paid..not just Sweden DS would be used for Recordings originating in Sweden and DB for non Swedish artists (Imports fron US or UK) Label text is in Swedish
KeithS SUBS 11th Jan 2022		78 RPM The Howlin' Wolf - Moanin' At Midnight / How Many More Years (1951)	First time I've heard that one Mike. So Chuck Berry shouldn't have been too surprised that his "Maybelline" garnered extra authors
KeithS SUBS 10th Jan 2022		78 RPM The Howlin' Wolf - Moanin' At Midnight / How Many More Years (1951)	Carl Germany????
KeithS SUBS 8th Jan 2022		78 RPM Teddy Stauffer Mit Seinen Original Teddies - There'll Be Some Change Made / America, I Love You (1941)	Turicaphon in Switzerland is the main record pressing plant in that country --they pressed for many other labels but had their own Elite and Austroton labels which they also sold to both Austria and Germany. They are still active
KeithS SUBS 29th Nov 2021		78 RPM Tiny Tim - There'll Always Be An England / Bless 'em All (1969)	Did you never see Tiny Tim?
KeithS SUBS 21st Oct 2021		78 RPM Rich Trice - Come On Baby / Trembling Bed Springs Blues (1940)	[YouTube Video]
KeithS SUBS 19th Oct 2021		78 RPM Joe Brown - People Gotta Talk / Comes The Day (1959)	Best I can do with Photoshop
KeithS SUBS 17th Oct 2021		78 RPM Boston Caledonian Pipe Band - Medley / Medley (1940)	I wonder if "Baron Rocks" is "The Barren Rocks of Aden"
KeithS SUBS 15th Sep 2021		78 RPM Gene Phillips And His Rhythm Aces - Big Fat Mama / Three O'Clock In The Morning (1947)	Nat Cohn owned Modern Music Sales in New York and was distributing records, coin machines, and toys and was constantly buying and selling his companies. I'd guess that around this time the two company names were noticed to conflict. Cashbox also carried an earlier ad September 8, 1947 as just Modern.
KeithS SUBS 14th Sep 2021		78 RPM Gene Phillips And His Rhythm Aces - Big Fat Mama / Three O'Clock In The Morning (1947)	Cashbox ad from November 1947 as Modern
KeithS SUBS 8th Sep 2021		78 RPM Petula Clark - Poppa Piccolino / The Who-Is-It Song (1953)	Part of Alex Balmforth's essay about the UK record industry, he says of Polygon Prior to Pye purchasing the company, a UK distribution agreement was established with Levy’s Oriole Records when their first 78-rpm’s were released. Although an initial twelve-month deal was brokered with Oriole I can find no hard evidence of the longevity of this arrangement. Freeman occasionally used Decca Records presses… though in its brief existence it is clear that Oriole took care of the bulk of their pressing and distribution.
KeithS SUBS 17th Aug 2021		78 RPM Max Bygraves - You Need Hands / Tulips From Amsterdam (1958)	RT appeared on Decca labels till about March 1959 when it changed to ET XT and UT don't seem to have been used at all
KeithS SUBS 17th Aug 2021		78 RPM Will Glahé - Barbara-Barbara (Komm Mit Mir Nach Afrika) / Echo Echo (1949)	Decca still mentioned as Holton Heath in attached London Gazette page May 1971 Apparently Decca built on the site of The Royal Navy Cordite works and people looking at the ruins left by them report finding failed vinyl pressings Facebook side about Decca at Poole
KeithS SUBS 11th Aug 2021		78 RPM Axel Byström och Lennart Sandberg - Guldgrävarsången / Längtans Melodi (1948)	The lack of "Made in Sweden" on the label could also be a hint
