LaurenceD SUBS 16th Jan 2017		78 RPM Dave Brubeck Trio - Laura / Indiana (1949)	djhotwax, I merged your entry with this existing one. The labels on yours are a bit different, however, so it's good to have those as well.
LaurenceD SUBS 1st Jan 2017		78 RPM El Brendel - Yumpin' Yiminy / Pinch Of Snoose (1950)	Listening to Yumpin' Yiminy brought back a vague childhood memory of having seen El Brendel's Swedish persona, although I'm not sure if it was from a film or a later TV appearance. There's some information about these recordings here at this excellent site dedicated to this comedian.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Dec 2016		78 RPM Talkin’ Charlie Aldrich - Kinsey's Book / Somebody Goofed (1953)	Added scans of my copy which credits the artist as just Charlie Aldrich, and omits the composer credit for Phil Tuminello.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Nov 2016		78 RPM Quatuor "In Cimbalis Bene Sonantibus" - Largo (1re Partie) / Largo (2e Partie)	Ah, I see what you did there, xiphophilos - yes, that makes more sense. That is an unusual name that they chose for themselves.
LaurenceD SUBS 5th Nov 2016		78 RPM Quatuor "In Cimbalis Bene Sonantibus" - Largo (1re Partie) / Largo (2e Partie)	Speculating here, but Haydn did compose a number of choral works based on psalms, and the title "In Cimbalis Bene Sonantibus" would seem to come from psalm 150:5. That would explain this work being released on a label for sacred music, although it's been arranged for string quartet. Can't confirm this theory though, as I'm not aware that he composed music for that particular psalm. I've got a catalogue of his compositions somewhere, I'll have another look.
LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Oct 2016		78 RPM Charles And Gay Warner - Through / Now I Care	copyright for Through & Now I Care: w Richard Otto Russell m John S. Dobson / May 29, 1951 I'm presuming that this is a USA release, as I could find no information about the artists or label.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Aug 2016		78 RPM Doryce Brown - Early Times / A Little Love Can Go A Long Long Way (1955)	Doryce also sang with The Normanaires. More info here: Vocal Group Harmony Web Site
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Jul 2016		78 RPM Ozie Waters (The Colorado Ranger) And The Colorado Hillbillies - Tie A Saddle String Around Your Troubles / Dry Your Eyes (1945)	I have a release of these sides on the Coast label "Rodeo Series", also numbered 2002, which I will post when I can retrieve it. slholzer, you are correct about the B side composers, and the A side composers on my copy are Waters and Johnson. "Tie A Saddle String" copyright 17 Dec 1945 by Ozie Waters & Trees [i. e. Forrest] Johnson
LaurenceD SUBS 16th Jun 2016		78 RPM The Rocketeers [M.J.C.] - My Reckless Heart / They Turned The Party Out Down At Bessie's House (1958)	These are The Rhythm Aces, backing Willie Davis on lead vocals. For more info see Marv's Rhythm Aces page.
LaurenceD SUBS 11th May 2016		78 RPM Timmie Rogers And Excelsior Hep Cats - Bring Enough Clothes For Three Days / At Least You Could Save Me A Dream (1945)	I don't suppose that the Three Shades Of Rhythm are related to the Four Shades Of Rhythm...
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Apr 2016		78 RPM The Johnny Creach Trio - Danny Boy / It's You In My Heart (1951)	The first Dootone release, and "Papa John" Creach's first recording under his own name, if I'm not mistaken.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Apr 2016		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - William Tell Overture / By The Beautiful Sea (1948)	From what I can gather, some folks were convinced that By The Beautiful Sea contained some off-color lyrics, and as a result this b-side was quickly replaced with The Man On The Flying Trapeze. As I listen to it, I must admit to being mystified as to what they thought they heard.
LaurenceD SUBS 2nd Apr 2016		78 RPM Dick Winslow - Let's Play Jack And Jill / The Old Water Wheel	The husband and wife team of Dick Winslow on piano and Alice Tyrell (usually spelled Tyrrell) on vocals was a popular nightclub act, and active from 1947-1953 if not longer.
LaurenceD SUBS 28th Feb 2016		78 RPM Buddy Greco And His Three Sharps - Ooh! Look-a There, Ain't She Pretty / Don't You Think I Ought To Know (1947)	(From a Sunday Express interview) Buddy said this about his initial release: “When I finally made my first record Oh Look-A-There Ain’t She Pretty at the age of 17, it sold over a million copies. I thought I would buy my parents a house with the royalty cheque but when it arrived it was only $33. The company president had taken the money and run.”
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Feb 2016		78 RPM Ford Orchestra - Hinky-Dinky, Parlee-Voo / Life On The Ocean Wave	The "Early American Dances" label was started by Dick Moore in late 1951 or early 1952, mainly to distribute Henry Ford's dance recordings. See BB Mar 15, 1952: Record Labels and their Manufacturers, p.124
LaurenceD SUBS 18th Jan 2016		78 RPM Sam Ash - Don't Leave Me Mammy / A Sleepy Little Village (Where The Dixie Cotton Grows) (1922)	Co-lyricist Buddy De Sylva mis-credited as "deSylvia" on A-side.
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Dec 2015		78 RPM Varsity Eight - She Doesn't / I Never Knew (1926)	"She Doesn't" words by Walter Winchell, music by Jimmy Durante and Chick Endor.
LaurenceD SUBS 24th Dec 2015		78 RPM Various Artists - The History of Jazz Vol. 4: This Modern Age (1945)	Wondering if Capitol Criterion should be a sub-label unto itself. It does have its own numbering sequence.
LaurenceD SUBS 8th Dec 2015		78 RPM Lillian Long - The Peddle Song / Little Lass Round-Up	The (parent) Superb label was active from mid-1949 through 1950, so that suggests when this record may have been released. There is a Gayety label mentioned in Billboard, March 3 1951, but I'm not sure if it's this one.
LaurenceD SUBS 20th Oct 2015		78 RPM George E. Lee - If I Could Be With You / Paseo Street (1930)	I'm guessing it's George on the vocal for If I Could Be With You, but I'm not positive.
LaurenceD SUBS 12th Oct 2015		78 RPM Sonny Thompson With The Sharps And Flats - Long Gone (Part I) / Long Gone (Part II) (1948)	The May 15 Billboard article describes the 'counterfeits' allegedly distributed by Millner thusly: "bogus copies of Long Gone carry an orangish-red background with smeary printing, while the legal copies carry clear printing in a deep maroon backing". I would be interested in seeing one of these counterfeit pressings, if any are still around...
LaurenceD SUBS 3rd Oct 2015		78 RPM Bobby "Blue" Bland - Bobby's Blues / Teach Me (How To Love You) (1958)	Added variant A-side scan from a Monarch pressing, deltas are Δ20332 / Δ20332 (same on both sides). The B-side label is identical to that of image 669780.
LaurenceD SUBS 25th Sep 2015		78 RPM The Dooley Sisters - Ko Ko Mo / Heart Throb (1955)	Uncredited backing vocals on "Heart Throb" by The Jac-O-Lacs (Cornell Gunter, Pete Fox, Obie Jessie)
LaurenceD SUBS 15th Sep 2015		78 RPM The Five Hollywood Blue Jays - So Worried / Cloudy And Raining (1952)	There was a later Hollywood Bluejays release (I Had A Love/Tell Me You Love Me on Recorded In Hollywood 396), but that was actually by the Debonairs, featuring Cornel Gunter. This seems to be a different group, personnel unknown. Apparently RIH owner John Dolphin just recycled the group name. Release date estimated, could be early 1952.
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Aug 2015		78 RPM Stan Williams - Hair Of Gold / Come Back To Sorento (1948)	A bit frustrating trying to find information about this bandleader named Stan Williams. Perhaps he's the same one who led Stan Williams and his Blue Marines, a Canadian WWII-era band?
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Aug 2015		78 RPM Skylarks - Dream Away / My Own True Love	These Skylarks do sound like the same ones who recorded "I Had The Craziest Dream" on RCA Victor (a white male/female mixed vocal group), so I grouped them together. I could find no information about this release, though. Probably 1948 or 1949.
LaurenceD SUBS 29th Aug 2015		78 RPM Lil Parker - You Call Everybody Darlin' / The Man I Love (1949)	I created a small bio for this Rex label, from what what I could dig up from Galen Gart's ARLD and Billboard.
LaurenceD SUBS 22nd Aug 2015		78 RPM Sonny Burke - What, Where And When / Mambo Jambo (1950)	"Mambo Jambo" was titled "Qué Rico El Mambo" on Perez Prado's original release.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Aug 2015		78 RPM Moon Mullican - I'll Sail My Ship Alone / Moon's Tune (1949)	Added an alternate B-side scan. The A-side of my copy matches Tailspin’s image 742596.
LaurenceD SUBS 9th Aug 2015		78 RPM Bertha "Chippie" Hill - Trouble In Mind / How Long Blues (1946)	It appears that these sides were included in a 2-disc Circle album, along with J-1004 (Careless Love/Charleston Blues). The discs might also have been sold separately, not sure.
