LouisSidney 25th Jan 2013		78 RPM Richard Tauber - Merry Widow / The Opera Ball (In Chambre Séparée) (1932)	Korngold was a H'wood musician...
LouisSidney 24th Jan 2013		78 RPM Dick Haymes - On The Boardwalk (In Atlantic City) / You Make Me Feel So Young (1946)	Recorded August 10, 1946.
LouisSidney 22nd Jan 2013		78 RPM Petula Clark - Tell Me Truly / Song Of The Mermaid (1953)	There were several Rainbow labels in the States. There is also "Downtown" on Rhino, from the 'modern' age...
LouisSidney 22nd Jan 2013		78 RPM Petula Clark - Tell Me Truly / Song Of The Mermaid (1953)	It's Rainbow 10015: You Are My True Love/ You're The Sweetest In The Land.
LouisSidney 22nd Jan 2013		78 RPM Gilbert Bécaud - T'as Raison Mon Ami / Les Tambours Et L'Amour (1955)	added labels, courtesy of Michel R.
LouisSidney 22nd Jan 2013		78 RPM Gilbert Bécaud - Le Marchand De Ballons / Berceuse Pour Gaya (1956)	added label variant (see text "et son ensemble")
LouisSidney 22nd Jan 2013		78 RPM Petula Clark - Tell Me Truly / Song Of The Mermaid (1953)	What about an earlier release on the Rainbow label ?
LouisSidney 18th Jan 2013		78 RPM Gilbert 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 18th Jan 2013		78 RPM Barbie Gaye - My Boy Lollypop / Say You Understand (1956)	completed release date thanks to Galen Gart's ARLD book.
LouisSidney 17th Jan 2013		78 RPM Les Jérolas - Jones S'est Montre (Pis Après) / Les Trois Cloches (1959)	"Jones s'est montré (pis après)" had a different version in France: "Zorro est arrivé", a huge hit for Henri Salvador.
LouisSidney 17th Jan 2013		78 RPM Petula Clark - Music, Music, Music / Blossoms On The Bough (1950)	Yes Mickey, it's a repro on two CD. Very nicely done.
LouisSidney 16th Jan 2013		78 RPM Gilbert Bécaud - Ça ! / Berceuse Pour Gaya (1955)	A: s'accompagnant lui-même au piano. B: avec Raymond Bernard er son Ensemble. Added unedited labels, courtesy of Michel R.
LouisSidney 16th Jan 2013		78 RPM Bing Crosby - The Friendly Islands / All My Love	You can see a picture of Bing on the other side
LouisSidney 16th Jan 2013		78 RPM Eddie Constantine - L'Homme Et L'Enfant / Gina (1955)	best looking French label I can think of
LouisSidney 15th Jan 2013		78 RPM Roche 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 RPM Tommy 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 RPM Tommy Steele - It's All Happening / What Do You Do (1958)	Same credit on the 45.
LouisSidney 14th Jan 2013		78 RPM The Merry Macs - Ten Days With Baby / Thank Dixie For Me (1944)	Side A: from film "Sweet and Low-Down".
LouisSidney 13th Jan 2013		78 RPM Sonny 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 RPM Svend Asmussen - Deep In The Heart Of Texas / The Booglie-Wooglie Piggie (1942)	Nice label !
LouisSidney 11th Jan 2013		78 RPM Georges 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 RPM Gilbert 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 RPM Paul Whiteman And His Concert Orchestra - Rhapsody In Blue (1924)	I agree; linked this with French edition.
LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013		78 RPM Rudy Wiedoeft - Serenade / Melody (1927)	Recorded in London in 1927. B side was released on US Columbia #1053D.
LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013		78 RPM The Coronets - Cat Walk / Moonlight Fiesta (1952)	Recorded April 17, 1951. They're not the same group as the British Columbia Coronets, of course.
LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013		78 RPM Bing Crosby - The Friendly Islands / All My Love	Recorded June 23, 1950.
LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013		78 RPM Duke Ellington - Ko-Ko / Conga Brava (1946)	Recorded in March 1940. Reissued in France as #K-8732.
LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013		78 RPM Ricky 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 RPM Paul 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 RPM Ricky Nelson - I'm Walkin' / A Teenager's Romance (1957)	Guess which one I prefer ?
