|
LouisSidney 22nd Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMPetula Clark - Tell Me Truly / Song Of The Mermaid (1953) | What about an earlier release on the Rainbow label ?
|
LouisSidney 18th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMGilbert Bécaud - Ça ! / Berceuse Pour Gaya (1955) | In fact, the credits on both labels are wrong regarding the accompaniment.
A: Bécaud doesn't play piano, and there's an uncredited orchestra behind him with a pianist.
B: here Bécaud does play piano.
|

|
LouisSidney 16th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMEddie Constantine - L'Homme Et L'Enfant / Gina (1955) | best looking French label I can think of
|
LouisSidney 15th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMRoche Et Aznavour - Le Feutre Taupé / Départ-Express (1948) | added clearer scans to Le Parolier's. Polydor sometimes come in very dark shades and I have some of them myself too.
|
LouisSidney 14th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMTommy Steele - Come On, Let's Go / Put A Ring On Her Finger (1958) | So, "The Duke Wore Jeans" was a film about Joe Meek ? I have the soundtrack on a French Lp but I've never seen the movie.
|
LouisSidney 14th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMTommy Steele - It's All Happening / What Do You Do (1958) | Same credit on the 45.
|

|
LouisSidney 13th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMSonny Kendis and His Stork Club Orchestra - A Night At The Stork Club (1941) | The design is excellent, but I wouldn't take a chance with the music in that album...The titles look a bit too conservative for my taste.
|
LouisSidney 12th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMSvend Asmussen - Deep In The Heart Of Texas / The Booglie-Wooglie Piggie (1942) | Nice label !
|
LouisSidney 11th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMGeorges Brassens - Le Gorille / La Chasse Aux Papillons (1953) | I suggest that you change the date to July 1953. Brassens' preceding 78, #560459, was recorded in June 1953, so...
|
LouisSidney 11th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMGilbert Bécaud - Les Enfants Oubliés / Passe Ton Chemin (1954) | Le Parolier wrote: I think that this kind of information should go into "Record notes" and leave the exact title of the song.
Yeah, got the message !
|
LouisSidney 11th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMPaul Whiteman And His Concert Orchestra - Rhapsody In Blue (1924) | I agree; linked this with French edition.

|
LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMRicky Nelson - I'm Walkin' / A Teenager's Romance (1957) | Yes, costs, that's the reason all those labels lost their... verve, and became funeral. I know the London aficionados would like to slit my throat, but that's the way I feel.
|
LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMPaul Whiteman And His Concert Orchestra - Rhapsody In Blue (1927) | The label says "The composer at the piano". It means George Gershwin himself can be heard (this is the second version, shorter than the acoustic one).
|
LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013 | | 78 RPMRicky Nelson - I'm Walkin' / A Teenager's Romance (1957) | Guess which one I prefer ?
